Producer Ekta Kapoor, whose last two films "Udta Punjab" and "Great Grand Masti" were leaked online, says if she had the superpower she would have tried to prevent piracy.
Shahid Kapoor starrer "Udta Punjab" was leaked online two days before its official release while Vivek Oberoi- Riteish Deshmukh-Aftab Shivdasani's "Great Grand Masti" was out three weeks before it officially hit cinema houses.
"When I get superpower I would only eat everything and don't gain weight. And also make films that don't get pirated," Ekta told reporters here at the trailer launch of "A Flying Jatt", when asked about what superpower she would like to have.
Remo D'Souza has directed "A Flying Jatt", which stars Tiger Shroff as a Sikh superhero and is slated to release on August 25.
"From script level to the film we have taken permissions. We have made sure no sentiments are hurt. It's a pro-Sikh film. My mom is a ardent follower of 'Babaji' (referring to a Punjabi saint), so we can't be against," Ekta said.
Meanwhile, Ekta also revealed her nephew Laksshya (son of actor Tusshar Kapoor) has given her sleepless nights.
"He (Laksshya) is the superhero of the house.
