Considering the big release this time was Shah Rukh Khan Starrer My Name is Khan, any pirates attempting to copy or distribute this movie specially are on our radar for this week and the coming weeks that the movie would be running. Pirates should understand that we have a zero tolerance for their actions and that they will be raided and prosecuted for the crime they commit.’’
