Editor’s Involvement Denied After Inquiry
The statement added, “Access to the content is password-protected, and the KDM remains solely with the producer/filmmaker. Without a valid KDM, the film cannot be accessed or viewed. The DCP (Digital Cinema Package) of ‘Jana Nayagan’ was handed over to the applicant in Mumbai on 17 March with due acknowledgement, and has remained with them since.”

The film fraternity is taking the leak seriously and emphasizes security measures. With the internal inquiry clearing the editor, focus shifts to identifying the source of the leak and preventing future incidents before the official release of ‘Jana Nayagan’.
