After the leak of 'Udta Punjab', 'Great Grand Masti' and 'Kabali', Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and Bollywood filmmakers are taking steps to prevent the online leak of films. CBFC was also mulling over changing the current method followed by filmmakers to submit films for certification and accept movies done through a DCP-KDM format, instead of DVDs. 'Dishoom' is the first film to be submitted to censor board in the encrypted format. "We are grateful to CBFC chairman Pahlaj Nihalani and the entire Board for taking this initiative. I am going to put this up before the Indian Film and Television Producers Council and tell them about the safety of this system."

Producers Guild holds emergency meet after 'Dishoom' leak threat. Encryption can be the solution to films being stolen or duplicated. It is said that once the film is played it gets locked automatically and no one can open it. But the producer has to bear an additional cost for the format. Apart from Rs 34,000 paid to CBFC for certification of the film, the DCP-KDM format cost the producer Rs 20,000 extra.
