Pyramid Saimira making false allegations: Kamal Haasan

Kamal Haasan has strongly reacted to the news that Pyramid Saimira have obtained a stay against the release of Unnaipol Oruvan. Following is the text of Kamal Haasan which was released to the media:
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 sets built and even did some shooting, directing and acting. The project was put on the backburner because Pyramid Saimira could not come up with funds for the shooting to continue.

 Having lost one year and an income of about 40 crores, I had issued a notice to Pyramid Saimira 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 caused a suit to be filed 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.

 The fact remains that I have obtained a caveat against them. Neither I nor Raajkamal Films International have received any stay order from any court. 

I must state that irresponsible statements made or published damage my reputation and my company.  I will shortly be seeking legal advice to examine the avenues open for me."
