Putting an end to the guessing game whether Kamal Hassan's Unnaipol Oruvan would hit the screens tomorrow or not, the Madras High Court today granted permission to to release the movie as scheduled, however with some restrictions.
In his interim order, Justice Rajasuriya directed Kamal to pay half the sum of money that he allegedly owes to Pyramid Saimira before 30 September. He observed that failure to pay the money on the actor's part would result in revoking the order.
Production company Pyramid Saimira had sought an interim stay to stop the release of Unnaipol Oruvan scheduled to hit theatres on 18 September. In his petition, N Narayanan, representing Pyramid Saimira, had stated that Kamal Haasan has taken an advance amount of Rs 10.90 crore for the proposed Marmayogi project at an estimated cost of Rs 100 crore.
As Kamal Haasan had violated the agreement of not acting in any other movie till Marmayogi is completed, the petitioner wanted the release of Unnaipol Oruvan to be stopped.
Kamal Haasan filed a counter-affidavit seeking the court not to order a stay. He said advance booking for the movie had already begun. If the movie doesn't hit the screens on 18 September, it would disappoint fans besides a monetary loss.
