Images
showing
Lycamobiles
logo
in
the
background
of
the
Sri
Lankan
Government
sponsored
Common
Wealth
Business
forum
was
morphed.
The
first
article
with
these
morphed
pictures
which
appeared
in
a
website
in
an
attempt
to
mislead
the
public.
Lyca
productions
clarified
that
the
Lyca
Group
representation
in
Srilanka
for
the
forum
was
only
as
a
business
participant
-
one
among
the
several
who
participated.
The
Lyca
Productions
team
has
also
lodged
a
complaint
with
the
cyber-crime
division
in
Chennai,
and
a
copy
of
the
compliment
was
also
shared
with
the
media.
Issue

A
second
set
of
images
appeared
in
the
same
website
some
months
later
showing
the
chairman
of
the
Lyca
Group
getting
off
a
Srilankan
military
helicopter.
This
helicopter
was
hired
by
the
Lyca
Mobile
from
Helitours,
a
company
providing
chartering
service
of
inactive
military
helicopters,
a
service
available
to
anyone.
Lyca
Group
had
to
use
the
Helitours
services
as
it
was
the
only
way
to
travel
around
Srilanka
within
a
short
time.
The
Lyca
Group
team
had
gone
to
around
Srilanka
a
that
time
to
survey
the
areas
and
to
understand
the
problems
faced
by
the
Tamil
people
and
to
create
appropriate
programs
for
their
rehabilitation.
The
picture
was
used
completely
out-of-context
in
the
website
creating
by
vested
interests
to
create
confusion.

Issue 3
Lyca Fly, an airline ticketing company and a registered member of IATA, with a license to sell airline tickets of 240 airlines around the world Sri Lankan Airlines is one among the many airlines which Lyca Fly is contracted to offer to the public. This benign and normal matter has also been used wrongly with the media by the same group trying to create issues against the group.
Issue 4
Among the various charities done by the Lyca Group, is a donation given to the British Asian Trust, a charitable trust run by Prince Charles. For this trust, Lyca Group has committed One Million Pounds, of which an initial installment cheque of GBP 250,000 was given to Mr. Muttiah Muralitharan, the chosen ambasssador to accept the cheque given by the British Asian Trust. The photograph of this cheque handover was misused in the media by using wrong contexts.
Issue 5
In another incident Mr. Chris Tooley's image has been connected to Mr. Rajapakshe's son in a charitable ‘walk' organized by cricketer Mr. Ian Botham. The event titled ‘Beefy's Charity Walk' has been held in several countries since 2010 and the walk held in Srilanka also had several cricket veterans like Mr. Sunil Gavaskar and Mr. Sourav Ganguly participating. By merely showing two personalities, Mr. Tooley and Mr. Rajapakshe's son, running together, the picture attempted to tarnish the image of the Lyca Group.
Movie Release
The press meet was also attended by director AR Murugadoss and actor Vijay. In the same press meet, the makers announced that the movie will release for Diwali.
Audio Release
The audio of Kaththi will release on September 18.
