Though
the
producers
of
Marmayogi,
Pyramid
Saimira
not
in
the
mood
to
spend
lavishly
on
the
launch
of
Marmayogi,
Kamal
Hassan,
the
actor
cum
director
of
the
film,
is
firm
in
his
stand
to
launch
the
movie
in
Mumbai
in
grand
manner.
According
to
the
sources,
the
actor
gave
a
budget
of
Rs.
1
crore
for
the
launch,
including
the
screening
of
a
sneak
trailer
on
the
film's
cast
and
crew.
Kamal
assured
the
producers
that
he
would
take
care
of
the
expenses.
Kamal
has
already
signed
a
contract
with
the
production
house
to
make
the
film
on
first
copy
basis
with
the
budget
of
Rs.80
crores.
Now
the
company
is
confused
whether
the
actor
would
include
the
film
launch
cost
in
the
budget
or
charged
separately.
Sources
say
that
the
actor
has
already
received
the
cheque
for
Rs.5
crores
as
advance
last
week
and
the
balance
amount
would
be
disbursed
by
the
company
stage
by
stage
after
the
launch.
Kamal
planned
to
visit
some
of
the
African
locations
including
Ethiopia
to
give
different
colour
to
this
historical
film.
