Pyramid
Saimira
Productions
International
(PSPI)
had
claimed
through
the
media
that
they
had
issued
a
legal
notice
to
Kamal
Hassan
and
his
production
company
Raj
Kamal
Films
International
over
the
Marmayogi
issue.
They
have
also
demanded
Kamal
to
return
the
advance
amount
of
Rs.10.90
crores
immediately
after
receiving
the
notice.
Now
Kamal
has
issued
a
statement
on
this
issue.
The
actor
has
claimed
that
the
production
company
has
to
pay
Rs.
40
crores
for
wasting
a
full
year
of
the
actor
in
Marmayogi
pre-production
works.
Here
is
the
complete
version
of
Kamal's
statement
issued
yesterday
to
the
media
by
his
media
manager
Nikhil:
"Dear
Sir/Madam
My
attention
has
been
drawn
to
reports
in
a
section
of
the
press
that
Pyramid
Saimira
has
obtained
a
stay
against
the
release
of
our
movie
Unnaipol
Oruvan.
It
is
not
true.
I
am
glad
to
be
given
an
opportunity
to
state
facts.
The
debacle
of
our
film
Marmayogi
and
circumstances
around
it
are
well
known.
I
worked
on
Marmayogi
exclusively,
without
taking
up
any
other
assignment
for
an
year,
made
elaborate
preparations,
had
built
sets
and
even
did
some
shooting,
directing
and
acting.
The
project
was
put
on
the
back
burner
because
Pyramid
Saimira
could
not
come
up
with
funds
to
continue
with
the
shooting.
Having
lost
one
year
of
my
career,
and
an
income
of
about
Rs.40
Crores,
I
had
issued
a
notice
to
Pyramid
Saimira
on
12th
April
2009
demanding
payment
of
Rs.40
Crores.
No
reply
has
so
far
been
received
from
Pyramid
to
the
notice.
We
have
also
had
caveats
entered
against
Pyramid
Saimira
in
courts.
I
have
also
filed
a
suit
in
the
High
Court
of
Madras
against
Pyramid
Saimira.
Probably,
to
counter
my
legal
action
against
them,
they
have
decided
to
go
to
the
press
on
a
smear
campaign
and
they
have
sent
me
a
notice
making
wild
and
false
allegations.
An
interim
Reply
also
has
been
sent
to
it.
The
fact
remains
that
I
have
obtained
a
caveat
against
them.
I
nor
Rajkamal
Films
International,
have
received
any
stay
order
from
any
court.
I
must
state
that
irresponsible
statements
are
being
made
or
published
to
damage
my
reputation
and
my
company.
I
will
shortly
be
seeking
legal
advice
to
examine
the
avenues
open
for
me.
