Pyramid Saimira has filed a petition
in the High Court of Madras seeking
a stay on the release of Kamal Haasan’s
Unnaipol Oruvan. According to the
petitioner, Kamal’s Raaj Kamal
International entered into an agreement
with them to produce the historical
film Marmayogi. On the assurance
of the actor that he would rope
in Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan,
Hema Malini and Priyanka Chopra
to star in the film, Pyramid Saimira
handed over Rs. 10.90 crores to
the actor.
However, Kamal did not make any
attempts to sign up the actors,
alleges the petitioner. Yet another
complaint against the actor is that
as per the contract, he cannot move
on to other projects without completing
his commitment to the petitioner.
Based on all these allegations,
the petitioner filed a case seeking
a stay in the release of Unnaipol
Oruvan until their dues amounting
to Rs. 7.82 crores are settled.
The judge posted the case for hearing
on September 16th.
