Hours
before
the
release
of
his
new
magnum
opus
What's
Your
Raashee?
Ashutosh
Gowariker
is
running
around
trying
to
understand
where
and
how
the
master
print
of
his
film
was
allegedly
stolen
and
pirated
from
the
lab.
"I've
been
traveling
to
Toronto
and
then
to
Ahmedabad,
so
I'm
not
aware
of
the
full
situation.
However,
it's
a
scary
and
sobering
thought
that
films
have
been
going
out
for
piracy
from
the
lab.
I'm
glad
they
were
caught
out
when
my
film
was
smuggled
out.
We
don't
know
the
extent
of
the
damage.
I
can
only
be
thankful
my
master
print
was
retrieved.
Just
how
many
copies
were
made
we
don't
know."
Choosing
to
see
the
lighter
side
of
the
extremely
grim
situation,
Ashutosh
says,
"I
hope
the
pirates
didn't
cut
the
film.
I
don't
want
them
to
watch
an
incomplete
film."
