Debts, Problems and Closure

Following the failure of Kuselan (2008), the production studio began to experience significant financial problems which affected several of their ongoing projects.[2] The releases of films including Krishna's Yen Ippadi Mayakkinai starring Richard and Gayathrie and Jeppi Azhagar's Vaanam Partha Seemayile starring Ashok and Priyanka Nair, were sudden cancelled despite having audio releases.[3] Likewise, Shankar Dayal's Anandham Arrambam, which was meant to be the launch for actor Adharvaa Murali, was also shelved despite beginning production. Kamal Haasan's bilingual period film, Marmayogi, was also scrapped after Pyramid Saimira were unable to finance the venture.[4]

In the year 2010, the management was struck by debts ranging to Rs.500 Crore and cases were filed on it by SEBI for breaching its terms and finally closed down.[5][6][7]

Share investors were duped by company's false auditing practices and internal scams. The promoter assured investors in their AGM that everything was in order and also acknowledged to make a dividend payout as a good will measure. It's another blot in ethics and corporate governance of the promoters.[8][9]
