The Press Information Bureau today termed as baseless and misleading the reports claiming that the Tamil film “Jana Nayagan” was leaked from the Central Board of Film Certification. 

The CBFC has clarified that it follows a secure KDM (Key Delivery Message) system for all theatrical films submitted for certification. 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. PIB said that the DCP (Digital Cinema Package) of “Jana Nayagan” was handed over to the applicant in Mumbai on 17th March with due acknowledgement and has remained with them since.
