Mumbai: Vidya Balan has lent her support to a campaign to stop film piracy,
saying the industry has to speak in a unified voice to tackle the
menace.
The "Tumhari Sulu" star retweeted a link to a video in
which she had appeared last month as part of a campaign against piracy,
launched at the National Conference on "Counterfeiting and Role of
Enforcement Agencies".
"I am happy to be a part of this important
initiative for the film industry... All of us need to come together and
work towards putting a stop to piracy," Vidya said as she shared Union
Minister Suresh Prabhu's old tweet.
"At the National Conference
on "Counterfeiting and Role of Enforcement Agencies", launched a
campaign in collaboration with the Producers Guild of India on
anti-piracy. Take a look at the video in which @vidya_balan talks about
anti piracy," Prabhu had tweeted.
In the video, Vidya talks about the joys of watching a film in theatre while cautioning against the perils of piracy.
"Cinema's conception in itself lies on this very principle of
warmth and togetherness. Indulging in piracy through easy, illegal
downloads brutally robs us of this very experience that cinema was
created for. Let's come together and pledge to stop piracy," Vidya said
in the video.
