I am almost out on the streets: Ramesh

Director AMR Ramesh���s Vana Yuddham might have managed to release successfully but the director���s woes continue. The Supreme Court has ordered him to pay 25 lakh to forest brigand Veerappan���s wife, Muthulakshmi.
���Why is it that it���s always the filmmaker whose freedom of expression gets curbed? I���ve spoken with people related to Veerappan, his close friends and eye witnesses, have interviews from his associates and also have government documents that are available in the public domain to validate my story.So, how am I in the wrong?��� he asks.
Ramesh says that Muthulakshmi approached the court, asking for a sum of 1.5 crore and 60 lakh for every language he released the film in. He explains, ���I���ve pledged my house and I���m almost out on the streets now. How can anyone arrange for 25 lakh in a day? I���ll be asking my friends to help me get this huge sum. I���m not challenging the Supreme Court���s order, but I���m appalled how the issue has moved to ���money��� from ���safety��� for Muthulakshmi.���
He continues, ���I met with Muthulakshmi before starting work on the film and told her the basic premise. Later, she wanted 32 cuts and I obliged. She had, at that time, said that she was worried about her and her children���s safety. Later, the Censor Board and the court gave my film a clean chit. She raised an objection even after that and only after the court insisted, she watched the film. She���s forgotten all about safety and is now behind money.���
