New Delhi, March 15:: Two key figures of the film industry described piracy as the ‘greatest concern’ of Bollywood but differed on measures to be adopted to check it.

While Bollywood actor-director, Aamir Khan wants more measures to check piracy, acclaimed director, Shekhar Kapur favoured a freedom from Intellectual Property Right.

Aamir, whose latest film Tare Zameen Par was a box office hit, said, piracy is the ‘greatest concern’ facing the entertainment industry.

"The greatest concern facing us (entertainment industry) is piracy. It is sad that India is not doing enough to check piracy," he said.

"We have been aware of this problem for long but we have not done anything much to keep it in check. A lot of time and money is spent into making a film" said Aamir.

CEO, Hyde Park Entertainment and Hollywood producer, Ashok Amritraj, who also spoke at the event said, "Pirates are the biggest threat to the growing industry and they should be crushed".
