The Judge on Monday had urged Kamal to probe ways to 'amicably settle' the issue with the state government over the release of the film that had been released across the globe on January 25, except in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.

The magnum opus from Kamal is a trilingual flick should have cost him Rs 95 crores and is sure to reap in rich dividends in spite of delay. However the delay would specifically cost him around Rs 30 crores say sources.
