The whole reason why he might do this is for financial reasons....he is stated to be in a big financial mess after VR....So if it is a massive failure, if defeats all purpose.

I don't believe in Kamalhaasan has lot of debts,doesnt earn that much in film industry,etc..ellam oru kattu kadhai..Heyram is his last own production movie which incurred lot of losses..he compensated those losses by 2004 itself by acting in movies like PKS,PT,etc..
Anbe sivam is not produced him..lets take his movie from VRMBBS...He is not producer for movies like VRMBBS,VV,10A,MMA and in that order his salary would be minimum 7C,7C,10C,10C(approx.)..then movies under his production house were Mumbai express,UPO and VR..Lets say VR and Mumbai express were no loss,no gain movies..UPO is definitely profitable with production cost of 5C without his salary and it earned around 40C..
No need to talk about movies he produced before..ex devar magan,AS were BB..
Where is the problem with money for him?
No, debts for KH are not directly co-related to how much business a movie does or whether it is a blockbuster etc. By all accounts, VR was a massive hit but he did not make money in that and delay of VR2 complicated things. He has himself said all this in bits and pieces many times.
Kindly hold on for the official announcement regarding PK remake after UV release.
He said VR didn't make that much money but its no loss for him as well..The delay in VR release complicated things as the interest rate is mounting and he bought loan by showing his assets which will be in stake if delayed/not released.. but that doesn't mean he hasn't earned enough money..even the richest producer will procure loan for producing the movie even if they have lot of assets..
In cinema earning crores/losing crores in matter of time is very normal and for experienced person like KH making money is not big deal..
the more I think of the VR release fiasco, the more it infuriates me as to how such a thing could happen to a luminary with 50 years of dedication to his field - India became a banana republic that month when VR was banned - as a fan, I will never forgive nor forget the elements involved - my pro-Sam Harris-Dawkins stance vis-a-vis one religion became super strong - come on, all of that fiasco for a movie? 120 plus min of moving images on screen? can one imagine what corners these guys won't cut, what boundaries they will push when it comes to their religion?
