Kalaikkadavul Kamal HaasaR's Viswarubam Dasavatharam

"un muttAlthanamAna sattam nee aasaippadura edhaiyumE seyya vidAthu...nee ennai konnuttA un middle class manasAtchi unnai uRuthi uRuthi konnudum....ennai kolradhukkAga nee nambara nErmaiyai, madhikkara khakhi sattaiyai karai padutha thayAr na...I am honored....go ahead"

God-awesome Not Worthy

Very carefully written too. He says "nee nambura nErmaiyai".....Badri actually has nothing but contempt for Adhi's nErmai. Remember the derisive snort when he first mentions himself as 'nErmaiyAna police officer'. Badri believes Adhi is actually not being honest enough with his self-proclaimed "samudhAya kObam" and has morally sold-out to the system. This whole dialogue is Badri making it clear that even as he is dying, he is a superior human being with absolute moral clarity and has thus lived a meaningful life. unnerving scene.

I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Crazy Mohan is part of the script writing team of 10A along with Sujatha.But the credits will show :Story,Screenplay,Dialogues -Kamal hasan.Maybe he will say "Nandri" to Sujatha&Crazy.

It's a crime to say dialogues are Kamal's weak point,maybe yes if referred to the 'Crazy'brand of writing but otherwise he comes out with very sharp intelligent lines.

Like PR,i can't give examples but there is a very high quality in his writing which cannot be denied.

`Dasavatharam` delayed!

By Moviebuzz
Thursday, 29 November , 2007, 10:50

It's official! Kamal Hassan magnum opus Dasavatharam, produced by `Oscar films` will not make it for Pongal 2008 as CG work on it is taking time!
Says V. Ravichandran of `Oscar Films`: "We were all working towards a Pongal release, but there is so much CG work in Dasavatharam, and to get that Hollywood style perfect finish and gloss it will take time."

Ravichandran is the first producer in India to have outsourced the special effects of a film to 12 different companies in the world. This means that the availability of latest technology and competition between them to produce superior quality special effects.

Says Ravichandran:"It was Kamal sir's idea to go for state of the art cutting edge technology to make the film look authentic and life-like on the big screen". Ravi says he is spending a cool Rs 10 to 12 crore just on special effects, as almost 95 percent of the nearly three hour film will have some CG work or the other.

To prove his point, Ravi showed Sify.com the first song in the film, set in a pre-historic era. As per his request we will not elaborate on the meaningful song written by Vaalee and tuned by Himmesh Reshamaiah, except to say that it looks spectacular with some of the best special effects seen in Indian cinema!

The 10 Avataar's of Kamal Hassan in the film is going to be a landmark, as each character is different in style, look and dialogue delivery. Atleast three of the characters will leave the audiences in doubt and they are sure to ask- "Is that our Kamal Hassan?" Such is the perfection, patience and pain the master actor has undergone to get into the skin of the characters he portrays in Dasavatharam.

Added to that, K.S Ravi Kumar the most prolific director has been working round the clock for the last 18 months concentrating only on Dasavatharam. Now most of the time he is sitting at his editing suite giving finishing touches to what he feels will be his most magnificent project.

Meanwhile 'Oscar' Ravichandran denied rumours in the trade that he is selling out to a big corporate. Asked a peeved Ravichandran: "Do you think I will sell my baby, even if they promise me the moon? I' m very passionate about film making and has been around for the last 18 years, and due to God's grace and audiences in Tamilnadu, 'Oscar Films' is a major brand and we have a lot of goodwill in the industry."

Ravichandran says once the CG work is over, he will announce the release date. As of now he is working towards releasing the film by February 15, the valentine day weekend. Says Ravichandran who is a marketing wizard: " I think February is a perfect time to release a potential blockbuster like Dasavatharam, there will not be any competition and we are planning to release the film with over 1000 prints in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi and will also have English subtitled version for foreign markets where Tamil films are yet to penetrate."

Kamal Hassan�s fans will have to wait longer than they thought to watch their hero in his 10 avatars.

Stopping briefly after a function in which he launched a HIV/AIDS rights campaign to humour mediapersons, Kamal answered a question about the release of his forthcoming movie �Dasaavatharam.� He said post-production work, including dubbing, was on for his film.

This was expected to go on for a while, as a result of which, the film will not make it to the screen in January, as is being forecast in Kollywood.

The grapevine is already buzzing about an April release, that �Dasaavatharam� might be the actor�s gift to fans on Tamil New Year Day.

As its released in Many langagues.. they will be looking at cashing in, during holiday season. (which might be before or after April 14)
It will be interesting to seeing. Hindi Movies which might get released in April 08

Jodha - Akbar

another big budget project Yash Raj's TASHAN

Jackie Chan at audio launch

December 3, 2007

Dashaavtaram is getting bigger day by day. Three hundred technicians at two different places are working, day in and day out, round the clock, on the post-production of the movie. In spite of this, Dashaavtaram will hit screens only for Tamil New Year. The audio release for the movie is being planned for February 2008, and all the big-wigs in Indian cinema are sure to be there.

Oscar Films� Ravichandran produces this movie with Kamal Hasaan in the lead, enacting 10 separate roles in the movie. The leading ladies are Asin, Mallika Sherawat and Jayapradha.

Ravichandran, who also holds the rights to release Jackie Chan movies in India, has invited Jackie to be release the music of Dashaavtaram at the grand function planned in February 2008. He showed Jackie clippings from Kamal�s movie, clippings from the Dashaavtaram songs and also informed him that Kamal has been acting in movies since the age of 5. Jackie Chan, already impressed with what he saw, was just amazed to know that Kamal Haasan, 54, has been acting since age 5. Jackie Chan, who was particularly astounded with Kamal�s portrayal of a 92-year-old woman in Dashaavtaram has agreed to participate in the audio launch.

Word is that Jackie Chan will release the audio; Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan will receive the first copies. Leading South Indian actors Mammootty, Mohan Lal, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna and Vishnu Vardhan will also be special guests at the event.

Jackie Chan to launch Dasavatharam audio
IndiaGlitz [Monday, December 03, 2007]

It can't get bigger than this. The audio of the much awaited movie Dasavatharam, touted to be the costliest movie to have ever been made in Tamil cinema, will be launched by Jackie Chan.

According to sources close to producer Oscar Ravichandran, Dasavatharam's audio would be a gala affair and would certainly find a place in the history of Indian cinema.

Jackie Chan will come all the way to grace the occasion. It may be recalled that Oscar Ravichandran had distributed several Jackie Chan movies in Tamil Nadu a few years ago. Jackie was shown a few clippings from the movie and he appreciated Kamal Haasan for giving his best in the movie. He readily agreed to be part of the audio launch.

Plans are on to invite prominent actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Chiranjeevi, Mammootty, Mohanlal and Vishnuvardhan for the mega launch.

Dasavatharam has musical score by Bollywood's most sought-after music composer Himesh Reshammiya. The movie directed by K S Ravikumar features Kamal Haasan in ten different roles with Asin and Mallika Sherawat giving him the right company.

According to Ravikumar, "The songs have come really good. It would make an impact among the music-lovers. Himesh has come up with a good stuff".

The audio launch is expected to be launched by February, 2008.

If you claim the former, like i said, "consistency" is the key

If its the latter and JC doesnt actually come, its a totally different issue which in no way, makes these reports unauthentic
[example: Kamal and Rajini were supposed to come to an event in Singapore but they didnt make it actually. Does it mean that the articles quoting Sharath Kumar were unauthentic?]

From: Corleone on Tue Dec 4 7:31:46 2007.

Cool down CR
Oscar is a shrewd businessman who knows how to hype it and make it big at BO (nothing wrong in it....its just business).
Nowadays BO result of any movie hugely depends on the opening and the opening depends totally on the pre-release hype.
Good word or mouth may result in increased "thiruttu DVD" sales for a movie more than an increase in collections.
A huge pre-release hype is enough to rake in profits more than good content(Recent example is sivaji).

On that lines i feel it could be a tactic from Oscar to boost up the hype.....but again I DONT KNOW ANYTHING abt this.....lets wait and watch whether JC makes it up or not.

Oscar is in good terms with the media and can influence them to write anything he wants....Example....he got quite good revenue from mediocre films like Unnaale Unnaale and Pachaikili muthucharam by using the media smartly.

So lets wait and see whats real and whats reel.

But still Jackie chan part is not authentic yet...lets wait rather than just speculating.

Apparently, Ravichandran had confirmed the arrival of JACKIE CHAN FOR THE AUDIO RELEASE IN FEBRAURY ( So i guess, it aint a speculation anymore ) . Also, FOUR MORE HOLLYWOOD BIGGIES are expected to participate in the audio release function apart from many Indian superstars!

The movie is being dubbed in 10 languages ( This was earlier dismissed as a rumour but , source tells me that Punjabi and Marathi are among the languages in which the movie dubbed ). There was a screening of the opening song, ' KALLAI MATTUM KANDAAL...' I learnt that the song has been breathtakingly shot . the roles which Kamal plays are totally unrecognizable and the whole movie is decked in grandeur!! The journalists gathered there were , it seems, throughly spellbound by the rushes!

My uncle also told me that the movie was a visual spectacle and it had to be watched to be enjoyed in entirety!!

Gotta see what Himesh has come up with but Kamal Sir, Why Himesh???

Abhijit Mhamunkar

Mumbaimirror

Himesh Reshammiya�s first Tamil film, Dashaavtaram�s, music will be released by Jackie Chan. The action superstar is expected to fly down to Chennai in February 2008 for the music launch of this film starring Kamal Hassan in 10 different roles.

Apparently, the producer of the film, Oscar Films� Ravichandran, managed to persuade Chan to do the honours since he holds the rights to release Jackie Chan�s movies in India. According to our sources, Ravichandran showed the Rush Hour series of the southern superstar�s films which got him impressed. He was amazed at Kamal�s range and the 10 different roles he plays in the same movie, especially the part where he plays a 92-year-old woman. He couldn�t believe that Kamal is 54 years old and has been acting since the age of 5.

When we broke the news to him, Himesh said, �I am really delighted to hear this. I am looking forward to the launch.�

A grand function is being planned for the launch of the music where top Bollywood stars will be invited. The invite list includes Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, stars from the south like Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna and Vishnu Vardhan will also be invited.

Asin, who is playing the lead opposite Aamir Khan in his Ghajini remake, is the heroine of Dashaavtaram. It also has Mallika Sherawat playing a negative character. The film is touted to do bigger business than Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji. Presently 300 technicians at two different places are working round the clock on its post production. The film is also being dubbed in Hindi and is going to be released together in the both its versions during the Tamil New Year in mid-April 2008.

Later, after the bad turn of events, "Kalaipuli" S. Thanu in a kumudam interview was talking about how Kamal had dragged the expenses manyfold including some expensive cameras and rents for several days etc...Kamal mentioned as a response that he had cautioned Thanu not to spend so much for the audio launch with inviting Sippy and other people from Bombay and other places.

Hope the movie turns out great. I don't care much for the songs although good songs are a big help leading up to the release.

இருபத்தைந்து கோடியில் படம் எடுக்க முடியுமா? என்று ஒரு கார்ப்பரேட் நிறுவனம் தன்னை அணுகியதாக ஒருவிழாவில் கூறியிருந்தார் தங்கர்பச்சான். 60 கோடியில் எடுக்கப்பட்ட சிவாஜி, அதற்கு கொஞ்சமும் குறையாத செலவுடன் எடுக்கப்பட்டு வரும் தசாவதாரம், போன்ற படங்கள் வருகிற இந்த நேரத்தில் 25 கோடி என்பது ஆச்சர்யப்படும் தொகை அல்லதான்! இருந்தாலும், ஒரு கோடி ரூபாய்க்குள் படம் எடுக்கிற சிலருக்கு 'சுருட்டுகிற இயக்குனர்கள்' என்ற பட்டத்தை வழங்கிவிடுமோ என்ற அச்சத்தையே தருகின்றன மேற்படி படங்களின் பட்ஜெட்டுகள். முன்னணி நடிகர்கள் என்பதால் இந்த செலவு கட்டுப்படியாகிறது. ஆனாலும், சிவாஜி பலரின் கையை கடித்திருக்கிற விஷயம் திரையுலகத்தை அதிர்ச்சியில் ஆழ்த்தியிருக்கிறது.

OK, if that is true, I dont see how 10A will succeed commercially?

Is is going to run full houses for 75 plus days??

Otherwise HOW will they recover 70 plus crores??

back to Dasa's music.

Some of us have hopes of HR giving good scores for Dasa.
But in the last one year whatever interviews HR has been giving only once he mentioned about Dasa, that too he was tellng he can meet Jackie for the music launch. Same time for his other scores and other movies he talks a lot with full of excitement. Isn't he excited about Dasa?

I am keeping least hopes for the music, so anything that comes good will be a bonus for me....

From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sun Dec 16 3:39:23 2007.

i think still some things have to be learnt! i mean, the kostin that "if sivaaji ITSELF is a loss(at some places)
then howcome dasa will run?" is still a crap. flat comparisions of two films and that too of two actors whose film contents are poles apart.

for this sake, i would like to know what if dasa has released and faced the same state on sivaaji and sivaaji is yet to release?? in that case they will say"kamal padam vera rajini padam vera, thalaivar padam eppadi odummnu ungalukku theriyaathaa enna" enru nakkal panniirukka chance irukku
From: sakaLAKALAKAlaa Vallavar on Sun Dec 16 3:44:34 2007.

to be on facts, hi budget is always a risk no matter who the actor is. but the hooking points are that

1) Dasa is set for a maximum screen that no other indian movies had been so far. i mean, a complete coverage of south,orth and overseas. nothing left. a biggest indian release

2) content looks promising and expected to have a global appeal for all indian movie goers. even targetted for non indian, foreign audience.

3) oscar ravi's marketing skills inside TN (and this time all over india). Bringing Jackie for audio is a sample

kamal's earlier credits + promising new stuff of this films should help for an unheard maximity of reach

Sakala,

More than any RK fan, I think the RK fan within you, is asking all this question??

I can agree on your point that no matter what HIGH budget movie is always a risk.

Wishing all the best to 10A. Like you I also have lot of hope on

I dont see the distributors/theatre owners recovering the invested cost IF they burnt their fingers in Shivaji.

Tell me one good reason for them to buy a movie for 50 lakhs?

Why do they have to take such a risk?

Oscar has to distribute/screen himself everywhere if it is over priced!

Flash Back >> for people who missed this article.

IF UTV or SONY(INDIA) or anyother big company(pyramid symira) which has good distribution channel doesn't take the lead in distributing this movie, it doesn't matter how many prints they are planning to release.

I Read somewhere in thread that OSCAR is on the MOON.. He must settle there if he can't convenice distys.!!

Dear Thirumaran sir
\\\ SOURCE THE HINDU BUSINESS :______________________

The Tamil film industry has always set standards for professionalism, for well in control of budgets, and streamlined productions that have for long been the envy of a more flamboyant but less disciplined Bollywood. Now having corporatised the Hindi film industry, biggies such as Adlabs and UTV are testing waters in the South Indian film industry.

UTV and Adlabs have shown interest in working out a production, distribution deal for Kamal Hassan�s next movie Dasavatharam. The movie is 90 per cent complete, and producer �Oscar� Ravichandran is giving the propo sals a serious consideration. Kamal Hassan is also believed to be keen on an association with UTV which has produced movies such as Lagaan and Rang de Basanti and supported them with equally good marketing at interna tional platforms.

Mr Siddharth Roy Kapur, Executive Vice-President - Marketing, Distribution & Syndication, UTV, says: �In the last few years, the South market has seen some great films, Tamil film industry taking the lead. The passion and star worship of the audiences is at a completely different level, which makes the market an interesting place. In June this year, we announced our tie-up with Radaan Mediaworks to co-produce films in South Indian languages. Now, we are co-producing Kannamooch i Yenada starring Sathyaraj, Radikaa Sarathkumar, Prithviraj and Sandya, expected to release in July 2007.We are also planning a project with director K.S. Ravikumar.�

�We wanted a regional presence outside of the Hindi film industry, and Tamil and Telugu industries were the only ones that seemed interesting and viable in terms of revenues,� said Mr Manmohan Shetty, Chairman and Managing Director, Adlabs.

The Reliance ADAG company will be producing a movie with Madhavan in the lead before the year end while its co-production Kireedam, starring Ajith Kumar is ready for release. However, Adlabs has not taken on the distribution respons ibility of its first Tamil venture. �We didn�t want to take all the risk, you could say we are testing the waters,� added Mr Shetty. The company is also partnering in Rajnikant�s daughter�s animation project Su ltan The Warrior.

Mr Oscar Ravichandran, who is credited with bringing in a new era in the Tamil film industry by managing to get institutional funding from the IDBI for Anniyan, warns that money alone may not help, �It doesn�t matter how many hundreds of crores they bring, only those with creative ideas will survive here.�

Mr Ravi Gupta, CEO, Mukta Arts, agrees, �Frankly, the Tamil film industry is well organised both in terms of funding and distribution, it�s a well-developed, self-contained industry. We are looking at regional cinema, but in Marathi,� he says.

even if PP is done i think april14 is best time. not due to sentimental but logical reason. holiday season. all over india schools will be off. family audience can be pulled. mostly Tax works too are done so businesses too will\may be slightly free

already an expectation exists in all levels becos of i10 roles and the budget\granduesness ect. will have to wait and see the good publicity Oscar is planning to make. if songs become hit they add more publicity. today's media power shall be used to good extent. dubbing in langages when have not been attempted for atamil cinema is again for benefit. apart from kamal, Himesh, Mallika asin too joins bollywood familiarity. Jacike's vist will help for publicity inside india and in Asia to some extent(if released)

George Bush's role and plot (which is probably on a global issue) may help to some extent in overseas among Non inddians. NRIs anyways will be watching.

I guess aandavar will travel in and out of india, to major metros for publicity(like an election campaign )

let me put it flat. i surely feel kamal is the darling of Mass and Class which he is once again going to prove in Dasa, but this time, more widely. But same time, we fans are interested in the film getting a decent profit all over and satisfyable content (which actually is expected to be mindblowing)

i dunno abt other fans here but i never expect something like vasool mazhai ect specifically in TN, given, how "GOOD" TN ppl wil react to such good themes!

in other areas, this films will surely be a head turner, will grab movie buff's attention, possibly all over the world

You guys had your share of fun during SHIVAJI Release is in't?. Infact CRBE Gang. wrote what not about producers / actors/ movie for not comfirming the movie date..

And Today just bcoz DASA is in state of worry. People shouldn't try bad mouthing something for the heck of doing it . Face it !

Shivaji lived up to its exceptation ! Whether you agree or not.

For a Great MULTI TALENTED/MULTI FACED/ BORN GENIUS /ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTOR OF OUR TIMES LIKE KAMAL HASSAN SIRJI! Doesn't need Jackie to make this movie successful.

Just bcoz Queen Elizabeth opened the Marudunayagam - It did not create histroy.nor bcoz Jackie will be there at Audio function this movie will go in guniess books.

as an actor in few movies he has donned roles which no other actor even dreamt of doing it . I Perosnally was really touched by his performance and apperance in Anbe Sivam. An actor who can change such a simple storyline in to a great movie, you think will take chances in a Magnum Opus like DASA ! you guys must really growup think lil beyond this.

We are not questioning about the Quality of the movie. We are questioning about the logistics. 8 Months delays after intital talks broke out between UTV and OSCAR, speaks volume as to how deep the issue is. Lets all hope that he resolves this issue at the earliest and get things going. As every Kamal fans were eager to see SHIVAJI, even we (Rajini Fans)are eager to see this Movie.

Critics will always be there whether you guys agree with it or..not.

As OUR DEAR THIRUMARAN SIR ALWAYS SAYS.

LETS TRY GETTING SOME ARTICLES WITH FACTS BEFORE DISCUSSING IT !!
INSTEAD OF DISUSSING ON DIGS AND PERSONAL COMMENTS!

initial talks broke out-aa?

Oscar ravi was offered a price that was atleast 30 to 40 crores more than the budget .. do u know thaT??.. he still rejected it.. becuase,
1. he didnt like the entry of another big corporate player in the tamil film distribution market..
2. oscar films will be sidelined in the publicity and their brand value might not increase..
3. most importantly ravi knows that DASA is a golden goose for him out of which he can make a heck of lot of profit if he distributes the movie, than what these corporates are offering him..

If a producer refuses to sell his movie, it only means that he has great confidence in his product..

From: Devar Magan on Tue Dec 18 12:17:47 2007.

Himesh Reshammiya's first Tamil film, Dashaavtaram's, music will be released by Jackie Chan. The action superstar is expected to fly down to Chennai in February 2008 for the music launch of this film starring Kamal Hassan in 10 different roles.

Apparently, the producer of the film, Oscar Films' Ravichandran, managed to persuade Chan to do the honours since he holds the rights to release Jackie Chan's movies in India. According to our sources, Ravichandran showed the Rush Hour series of the southern superstar's films which got him impressed. He was amazed at Kamal's range and the 10 different roles he plays in the same movie, especially the part where he plays a 92-year-old woman. He couldn't believe that Kamal is 54 years old and has been acting since the age of 5.

When we broke the news to him, Himesh said, �I am really delighted to hear this. I am looking forward to the launch.�

A grand function is being planned for the launch of the music where top Bollywood stars will be invited. The invite list includes Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan, stars from the south like Nagarjuna, Chiranjeevi, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Nagarjuna and Vishnu Vardhan will also be invited.

Asin, who is playing the lead opposite Aamir Khan in his Ghajini remake, is the heroine of Dashaavtaram. It also has Mallika Sherawat playing a negative character. The film is touted to do bigger business than Rajnikanth starrer Sivaji. Presently 300 technicians at two different places are working round the clock on its post production. The film is also being dubbed in Hindi and is going to be released together in the both its versions during the Tamil New Year in mid-April 2008.

Thanks for the pointer. Enjoyed the video. I think it would be great to have additional bonus material atleast in the DVD version of the movies. Don't know why that has not caught on.

I thought the issue at that time which Krishnaswamy raised was more about the use of "Sandiyar" to describe a class of people which he thought was deragatory not so much about "Tamizh Kalacharam". Maybe Kamal is deftly relating this to other comments about him in the past about spoiling kalacharam?

oru sandiyana mayyama vechirukkara padathukku vera enna peru veikkanum nu kekkaraare avar!

True, i recall it started off like that that the film promotes violence etc. but it took on a more casteist tone. I think the fundamental point KS was trying to make was that starting with Thevar Magan, in which KS claimed the thevars were glorified, Virumandi which was perceived to be Thevar Mahan Part II, also glorifies the superiority of Thevars with the term "Sandiyar" - which I think is widely used to assert the superiority of Thevars over others in the past. It seemed to me that KS was objecting to the meaning of that word and what it conveyed indirectly.

Of course, I am not justifying KS although everyone has the right to express his views and even agigate. But when KS started to use violent means to stop the movie....one starts to wonder. I guess it's all politics.

Speaking of which, i was just thinking...when Sivaji was released isn't it funny that tamil politicians of all stripes (including those currently in power and those who were in power before) watched the movie in exclusive preview shows and expressed delight and satisfaction that the movie was good? Wasn't the movie about politicians and thier corrupt ways? Shouldn't they be offended instead of being delighted? Beats me.

Krishnaswamy spouted hell a lot of unbridled nonsense, actually. The objection to the title was only a starter of sorts, if I remember correctly. He went on to talk about other things as well in the context of Kamal films. The objection to kissing and "male exposing" (he particularly referred to scenes from films like 'Kuruthippunal') where also part of his allegations on Kamal's films. All in the name of "Thamizh kalaacharam." Supreme idiocy.

there is lot of diff, very important is, we tamilians attack and face the bull without any weapons, bare handed, your stamina of legs and your arm powrt, and way of attack is the only keypoint here...

here the bull has the liberty(!) and power to kill you and its YOU who haveto be careful enuf to escape frm bull and still make it fall down to earth. it will 1st try to escape frm u and run away. if impossible, will try to attack you

there lots of superb tricks and tips which are not part of other bull fights. so in anyway, our jallikattu is uniquely tough. it deserves a patent\copyright kinda thing!

the bull is induced and forced to a temper by ppl, before its release, and as soon as release, the bull will start with full force, even going ear is tough at that time but our dare-bull fighters attack and finish the matter as soon in 20 seconds which is more than great. nerla paartha aubavam ithu! when seeing that, virumaandi is just a 20% effect of the real jallikattu. other films are not even 2%

Appo spainla Bull Fight ?? Rolling Eyes

there is lot of diff, very important is, we tamilians attack and face the bull without any weapons, bare handed, your stamina of legs and your arm powrt, and way of attack is the only keypoint here...

here the bull has the liberty(!) and power to kill you and its YOU who haveto be careful enuf to escape frm bull and still make it fall down to earth. it will 1st try to escape frm u and run away. if impossible, will try to attack you

there lots of superb tricks and tips which are not part of other bull fights. so in anyway, our jallikattu is uniquely tough. it deserves a patent\copyright kinda thing!

the bull is induced and forced to a temper by ppl, before its release, and as soon as release, the bull will start with full force, even going ear is tough at that time but our dare-bull fighters attack and finish the matter as soon in 20 seconds which is more than great. nerla paartha aubavam ithu! when seeing that, virumaandi is just a 20% effect of the real jallikattu. other films are not even 2%

Sakala Sir.

Spain's Street Bull Fight is same as Jallikattu. Wild bull is mugged by narrow street. It started around 714 AD . Just to add bit more danger to the sport is usually conducted on narrow street made of hard solid rocks.

So the guy whoever tries to touch the BULL either get smacked at the back by Bulls horns.. or break his bones by crushing himself on rock filled streets..!

Just for FYI only.

Appo spainla Bull Fight ?? Rolling Eyes

I would say the running of the bulls is similar to jaliikattu, but the whole purpose of the spanish event is not the same as the Indian. The running of the bulls is exactly that- bulls running. And a whole lot of people running away from the bulls.

Jallikattu is about wrestling the bull and subdueing the animal, not running away from it. And unlike the Spanish bullfight (the event that takes place in the arena where the 'bullfighter' dresses up like a Christmas tree and waves an oversized red handkerchief), there is respect for the bull; no need to kill the beast to please the audience.

Jallikattu is pretty gung-ho!

Kumar in Spain even they conduct in the same way as Jallikattu. What you are refering to is the one conducted in an arena, The only thing is Size of the Bull makes the people run in Spain. But in our place. Bull will be in samae size(Namba Namitha madree).. so they jump..

கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாசன், உலகப் புகழ் பெற்ற வால்ட் டிஸ்னியுடன் இணைகிறார். இருவரும் இணைந்து கமல்ஹாசனின் மர்மயோகிக்கு உயிர் கொடுக்கப் போகிறார்கள். இந்த மாபெரும் படத்தின் இணைத் தயாரிப்பாளராக பரத் பாலா செயல்படுவார்.

உலகத் திரையுலக வரலாற்றில் முதல் முறையாக 10 வேடங்களில் நடித்து வரும் கமல்ஹாசனின் தசாவதாரம் முடிவடைந்துள்ளது. இப்படத்தின் கிராபிக்ஸ் வேலைகள் படு மும்முரமாக நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கின்றன. மார்ச் இறுதியில் இந்தப் பணிகள் முடிந்து முதல் கட்டமாக ஆடியோ ரிலீஸாகும் எனத் தெரிகிறது.

இந்த நிலையில் தனது அடுத்த படமான மர்மயோகிக்கு தயாராக ஆரம்பித்து விட்டார் கமல். தசாவதாரம் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டுக்கு முன்னதாக மர்மயோகியின் பணிகளைத் தொடங்கவும் அவர் திட்டமிட்டுள்ளார்.

மர்மயோகியை கமல்ஹாசனே இயக்கவுள்ளார். முதலில் பரத் பாலாவின் தயாரிப்பில் மட்டும் இப்படத்தை உருவாக்க கமல் திட்டமிட்டிருந்தார். இவர் வேறு யாருமல்ல, ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானை வைத்து வந்தே மாதரம் ஆல்பத்தை உருவாக்கி நாடு முழுவதும் தேச பக்தி அலையைப் பரப்பியவர். சமீபத்தில் ரஹ்மானை வைத்து ஜனகனமன ஆல்பத்தையும் உருவாக்கி வெளியிட்டார்.

இந்த நிலையில்தான் கமலுடன் கரம் கோர்க்க விருப்பம் வெளியிட்டது ஹாலிவுட்டின் மிகப் பெரிய நிறுவனமான வால்ட் டிஸ்னி. சமீபத்தில்தான் இந்த நிறுவனம் இந்திய திரைத் துறைக்குள் காலெடுத்து வைத்தது.

யாஷ்ராஜ் பிலிம்ஸ் நிறுவனத்துடன் இணைந்து ரோட்சைட் ரோமியோ என்ற படத்தை உருவாக்கியுள்ளது. தற்போது கமல் மூலமாக தென்னிந்தியாவுக்கு வருகிறது.

சமீபத்தில் மர்மயோகியின் லொகேஷன் பார்ப்பதற்காக கமல் தாய்லாந்து சென்றிருந்தார்.

பிப்ரவரி 3வது வாரத்தில் மர்மயோகி படத்தின் படப்பிடிப்பு தொடங்கவுள்ளதாம். அதன் பின்னர் அமெரிக்கா செல்கிறார் கமல். அங்கு வால்ட் டிஸ்னி நிறுவனத்துடன் படத் தயாரிப்பு தொடர்பாக விரிவான பேச்சுவார்த்தைகளில் பங்கேற்கிறார்.

மர்மயோகியில் மொத்தம் 3 நாயகிகளாம். அதில் இருவராக ஆசினையும், ஹேமமாலினியையும் கமல் முடிவு செய்து விட்டார். அடுத்த நாயகியைத் தேட ஆரம்பித்துள்ளனர்.

தசாவதாரம் படத்தைத் தொடர்ந்து 2வது முறையாக கமலுடன் ஆசின் இணைகிறார் என்பது நினைவிருக்கலாம்.

மர்மயோகி மூலம் கமல்ஹாசனும், ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானும் மீண்டும் இணைகிறார்கள். அதேசமயம், தசாவதாரம் படத்தின் பின்னணி இசையை மட்டும் கவனிக்குமாறு ஏ.ஆர்.ரஹ்மானை கமல் கேட்டுக் கொண்டாராம். ரஹ்மானும் அதற்கு இசைந்து, பின்னணி இசையமைக்கிறாராம்.

மர்மயோகி குறித்து கமல் கூறுகையில், மர்மயோகி எனது அடுத்த படைப்பு. மிகுந்த ஆர்வமாக உள்ளேன். இது தமிழ் மற்றும் இந்தியில் உருவாகவுள்ளது. 7வது நூற்றாண்டு கதைக் களம் இது. தமிழில் இதுவரை இல்லாத அளவுக்கு மிகப் பிரமாண்டமாக எடுக்கப்படவுள்ளது. படத்தின் திரைக்கதை, இயக்கத்தை நானே கவனிக்கிறேன்.

வெற்றியின் அளவு என்ன என்பதை தெளிவாகச் சொல்ல முடியாது. ஒரு கட்டத்தில் நிறைய பணம் சம்பாதிப்பதை வெற்றியாக கருதினேன். பின்னர் சிறந்த நடிகராக, உயரத்திற்குப் போனபோது அதை வெற்றியாக கருதினேன்.

ஒரு கட்டத்தில் ஒரு நேரத்தில் ஒரு படம் மட்டும் செய்யலாம் என்ற முடிவுக்கு வந்தேன். அந்தப் படத்தையும் சிறந்த படமாக கொடுக்க தீர்மானித்தேன்.

அப்படித்தான் தசாவதாரம் பிறந்தது. இப்போது மர்மயோகி உருவாகவுள்ளது என்றார் கமல்.

From: Devar Magan on Tue Jan 8 9:18:58 2008.

Saran the Snake
After checking with a few sources back home, it looks like a DD has been made out for Saran more than a week back and he has not come to collect it. Repeated phone calls has been made to Saran but his mobile remains switched off. Even the Marwari who was contacted on behalf of Thalaivar has mentioned that he has not been able to get in touch with Saran.

Saran the Snake, waited to go to the producer council and sensationalize this event by falsely accusing Thalai.

I hope Thalaivar puts an end to all this kind of crap accusations by releasing to the press a copy of the DD and letter so that everyone knows that he can air dirty laundry in public too. Because he has been playing it quiet and decent everyone has taken advantage of him...

Just recall what PL Thenappan, Dhanu did when they cheated him out of money owed for PKS and Aalavandaan. Thalaivar kept quiet even while these two crooks did lot of damage to Thalai's reputation from the background and with Dhanu continuing to do so. I believe Dhanu must have had a hand in encouraging anyone or any group that could create trouble for Kamal (doctor's association, idiot senthilkumar who filed case against Dasa etc).

Here is a request for Thalaivar - Please shed your decency and show these crooks for what they are...

Although SRK, and Amitabh are popular. I don't think they are prolific like Irrfan khan (The namesake, and Mighty hearts), Om puri (Charlie wilson's war this year, and many others before), N'shah, Aishwarya rai, and also agree with you that directors like Mira nair, and Shekar kapoor are the truly global names today. Kamal should attempt presenting Indian(incl. of Thamizh ) narratives in a pan-global paradigm. That would be a dream come true..
From: thilak4life on Tue Jan 8 12:30:56 2008.

Rahman back to Dasavatharam

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

January 11, 2008

It is raining Rahman all over with the audio of the much-awaited Jodha Akbar finally hitting the stalls today and rumors abuzz over his acceptance to work with director Shankar for the sci-fi thriller Robot as well as Kamal Haasan's Marmayogi. For all the Tamil fans of this composer this is pleasant surprise as they had been whining that he was into Hindi and not heard in Tamil films as often.

Amidst this buzz, insiders suggest that Oscar Ravichandran, producer of Kamal Haasan-starrer Dasavatharam, directed by K.S. Ravikumar, has approached A.R Rahman to compose the background score for this film. Earlier, Rahman was touted to compose the music for the film but owing to tight schedules he opted out and the chance went over to Himmesh Reshammiya, who composed the songs. However, the team was on the lookout for a composer to score the background music. With the film being delayed well beyond its intended release date, Oscar Films once again approached Rahman, and reports suggest that the maestro is also quite keen to take up the offer. He is said to be held with few other international and bollywood assignments at present and is contemplating on accepting the offer. An official announcement is expected shortly.

Dasavatharam release date announced!

By Behindwoods News Bureau.

January 18, 2008

We looked forward to a Deepavali release, and when that didn't happen, we hoped for Pongal. Like the now legendary ten roles Kamal will play in Dasavatharam, we began to wonder if the film's release too would acquire myriad release dates! Meanwhile, we had to be content hearing the entire buzz the movie was creating: the fabulous make-up involved,

the spectacular stunts, and second guessing which heroine will be paired against which avatharam. But the suspense is over now; the release date of what is perhaps the most awaited movie of the year has finally been officially announced.

Dasavatharam will hit theatres on April 10, 2008. But wait � there's a hotter buzz. The total prints for release numbers to an astounding 1200. Never in the history of Tamil movies has there been so many prints made for a movie. The movie is set to release not just all over South India (Tamilnadu: 275 prints, Andhra: 225, Kerala: 75, Karnataka: 75) but also all over North India with 300 Hindi prints. Prints going overseas total 250. All this could only mean that Kamal knows for certain that in Dasavatharam he has a blockbuster that will outdo everything else lined up this year.

great great

From: mrsrajan on Sat Jan 19 2:20:26 2008.

Last weekend , we happened to be in My wife's Friends house. Her Friend is a part of Dasa Computer Graphics team. He showed us 15 minutes of clipping with out voice , how they are connecting differnt Kamals in one single scene and Nine Real avatars of the Movie.

It is very difficult to identify Kamal in 5 avatars for sure

We are spell bounded and those stills are Incredible. That was my real pongal.

I am very proud, i am kamal fan. Like Vadivelu says in Singaravelan "Thalaiva only u possible"

"Sathyam Enbadhu Soll Alla Kamalhassan"

It will be sure Block buster for this year. I would be more happy if Rahman scores Back ground music to this movie. It will be a one of biggest plus to market this movie in bollywood. And Dasa has all the potentials to become a biggest block buster of Kollywood.

Thalaiva Looking forward to New Year (Real New year)

From: crajkumar_be on Sat Jan 19 14:24:45 2008.

Thilak/Sakala,
Please note that my statment can be modified safley...
Looks like Rahman has reservations about lending his name to BGM for a film for which the music is scored by someone else...
According to our source, Rahman will still *do* the BGM but does not want the credit. That is simply not convincing for me and i doubt that its true! (though almost all his news bits have turned out to be true as can be verified by the media reports)

For now, i hope and think that in all probability Marmayogi will stay with Rahman!!!!!!!!

They should better go for a guy like Karthik Raja who must be more often vetti these days. I don't have any liking / disliking towards him. But heard that he has good RR skills.
btw, KSR will try to rope in ARR for the movie or atleast his name. I don't think he will agree to Rahmann's wish.. (that he will score.. but he doesn't want his name to be in the movie)

I would never underestimate Kamal film(when he functions as the writing force) album in terms of quality. If Rahman does BGM, then I hope they include that in the album without fail.
From: thilak4life on Sun Jan 20 3:43:24 2008.

Thats a valid point Sriranga, I think Raaja is an apt choice, if not for the master of BGM he is, but he wouldn't consume that much of a time. But it's possible that RAja didn't want to do this..

In any case, accentuations of the visuals is important. The theme of this film warrants an exciting offer to the composer. Imagine a leitmotiv for each of the 10 characters, and how to fuse them to another set for the encounters with each other, and the build-up to the denouement, an exciting prospect this..

10A confirmed for release on April 10th

http://sify.com/movies/tamil/fullstory.php?id=14591836

Dasavatharam` on April 10!

By Moviebuzz
Monday, 21 January , 2008, 09:52

'Oscar' Ravichandran, Kollywood's leading producer and distributor has confirmed the release date of his magnum opus Kamal Hassan's Dasavatharam.
Says Ravi: "Dasavatharam is getting ready for a worldwide solo release on April 10, Thursday. It will release big in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out."

According to Ravi, the marketing wizard he is planning a new strategy to drive the film in hitherto unexplored markets. He is likely to distribute it himself in all areas with the help of friends.

Added Ravi: "The buzz on the movie is good and nearer to the release dates it sure going to get bigger and will ensure a bumper opening. The holiday season starts in India around the time and overseas especially in US and Canada where Kamal sir is the king, the cold winter conditions would have been over energizing the audiences to see the film."

The CG work of the film is going on at the moment and the audio with music by Himmesh Reshammaiah will be launched in the last week of February. The re-recording and background score of the film is being done by Devi Sri Prasad. Sony has purchased the audio rights of the film while Kalaignar TV has picked up the television rights at the highest ever paid for a Tamil film!

This salso puts a full stop to the talk that ARR is doing the background score.

i think it costs around 70,000Rs for a print..

Oscar ravi wont sell all the prints for the same price.. the cost wud depend on the centre of release also.. the "extra" prints will be sold for a lesser price, to ensure safety for all...

BTW if the prints are more the same making cost may not be applied for all the prints right

From: Srimannarayanan on Mon Jan 21 4:32:18 2008.

It might be wrong.

70000 * 1200 = 84000000

May be Oscar will price 7 lakhs per print.

its surely a miscalculation and Oscar will bite the dust - ezhudhi vechikkonga...........even if the album is as good as sivaji it wont sell even half of sivaji - simply bcos of the mass power sivaji had..........having a grand music launch wont just save the audio

in Hindi, i accept, Himesh sells more than ARR - and he will have a good run......just FYI, Himesh's last 4 albums have flopped miserably in Bollywood too........

1. but i thot, if there is a loss- then distributor or audio company will post "thaaru-maaru" on saroja devi to Junior vikatan and demand for compensation

.....so, dont be surprised if Sony MD says in Khushboo that he had incurred losses and demands compensation from Oscar.....

- esp with kamal at the helm - we can expect something good from Himesh.......but to expect a record selling album is far fetched........

From: crajkumar_be on Wed Jan 23 4:12:29 2008.

Srimann,
I don't think Virumaandi music was a comemrcial hit.
IMO its got god-level music but unfortunately, its not very TV-time friendly and the songs are all entirely situational. (and padathula irundha ore melody paattayum TV la full-a poda mudiyaadhu )
What i mean is, apart from audio sales, TV-time is also very important.

DM : Sony's Biggest Diaster was Sawariya.. at 60Cr. for 2007. After that kind of set back that too in Indian Market where we have Companies like T-Series / 5 star / Pyramid who play by volumes. It will be Interesting to see Whether they are willing to take this kind of risk with 10A . If they do. 2cr really looks small amount (Sony will never accept the condition of TN only) Another Important thing we are missing. The Audio rites could be Inculsive of Hindi Version.

To KH Fans (Hard / soft cores)

I am pretty sure people who have been following Shivaji Thread for last couple years would agree, Facts which were made public it matched the speculation. but I do agree that few of us Including me speculated on Number of prints those were lame ones.

Gapla Kaada.
As far Collection is concern. Its just another Indian Movie where nothing is going to be disclosed in Public. Intital few days Distys like Abhirami made few numbers public just to ride on Hype. which he succeded. I am pretty sure even 10A disty has to do same in order to recover the money other than that you are not going to get any numbers anyway (Including from your sources) . I am pretty sure None of us hyped about 400 cr collection like Daily thanthi did

. Shivaji -> Released - > Conquered the World.
10A -----> waiting in the launch pad -----> To Conquer the Universe.. I am sure it will be Kamal Hassar's best movie yet.

From: rooky on Wed Jan 23 12:14:08 2008.

Increasing number of People like Maddy or NERD showing their vayitherichal on Dasa is pointing to something really positive.

"Pazhutha maramthaan kalladi padum".

If Billa sells 25000 CDs on the first day,how much does it amount to..25000*100 = 25 lakhs.Dasa audio will certainly open bigger and when the audio sells for about 50lakh or so in the first week or two,It can definitely make it to more than 2 Crores.

And with close to 1200 prints, obviously, Dasa will create a new Opening record in the history of tamil cinema and going by the collections for even a hypedup average grosser in Hindi, Dasa surely will set a new BO record nationwide.

DASA is already rocking few people here.Certain to rock the world soon

rooky, i agree with many here that DASA audio is over-priced at more than 2 crores.. billa's MD was Yuvan whose combo with vishnu delivered two super hit musicals..

Dasa audio's USP in tamil is kamal/Dasa the movie.. so, the audio might not take a big opening as billa or sivaji... thats why oscar is going for a grand audio launch to popularise the audio as the MD is a newcomer..

read first few posts of this thread....very gud points by rajasaranam...scholarly views frm Equanimus n tilak4life..hope i live up to their levels...i stopped at this beautiful post...very concise

abt kissing,i dont think kamal has an audience capable of accepting it...i think kissing in films like abhay was very hard to sit thru..infact the romance was very bad with bad dialogues Banging Head

...otherwise,his films r acceptable...heroism is irritating at times..i agree wit rajasaranam abt such minor things,bt compelling views by equanimus. Thumbs Up!

Thanks, Gaza. But, I'd appreciate if you don't see this post as my "defence for kissing scenes in Kamal Haasan's films" or suchlike. Because, it just isn't. I was responding to the objection raised to the kissing scene in 'mahAnadhi', and only that. Like, for example, I don't think much at all of kissing scenes in ALavandhAn. (It doesn't bore me to death per se, but that's just because it's quite funny at places, otherwise it doesn't do anything worth its length as far as I'm concerned.) Nor did I defend the "heroism" in his films ('mahAnadhi' included) anywhere. So, you may spare the 'buts' and 'otherwises' when you're talking about how you felt about ALavandhAn or any other film of Kamal, and my "views" (whatever I've expressed here) in conjunction.

I'm not debating those points at all.

I am only baffled at the extremely stringent viewpoint about whether a kiss scene is "necessary" or not. This kind of gauging the "validity" of whether such a scene (be it a kissing scene or any other scene) must be there or not in a film is rather fundamentalist. Reading again, see how insistent Rajasaranam is, even underlining the reason behind his "disapproval,"

rajasaranam wrote:

it shud've been avoided as i can see Krishna only as a simpleton/ 'Gramththu manithan' gone astray in his life. Not as a man who can Lipkiss a lady with Whom he is not yet married, remotely even for silencing her. Yes the scene was poetical as always in any of a Kamal movie. But it was out of place in the life of Krishnaswamy.

The usual criticism that this scene has faced is that it is "vulgar" or "titillating" or "family audience-unfriendly." Prabhu Ram seems to have responded to that criticism eloquently sometime back (which someone quoted over there in the other thread). But, Rajasaranam even concedes that the scene was "poetical as always in any of a Kamal movie," but he just can't take it because he can't see Krishna as a man who can do such a thing. In short, he finds it out-of-place. Of course, I appreciate his doubts on whether the film is staying true to the character with this scene. (I too am not sure about whether a man like Krishnaswamy would kiss a woman at that juncture. What does my being "sure" even mean at first place?!) But, just because of that, he simply objects to the presence of such a scene with utmost surety. How oppressive of an audience to even be so "sure" about what all a character can do (or can't do) given his background!
And, it's just this particular scene, exclusively facing "objection" on these grounds. (Which is how I came about, asking why "exclusively" discuss this scene at all.) One may stop here for a moment and wonder how "disrupting" usually a different (seemingly) out-of-place scene would have been. Like a character not talking with the right accent, for instance!
I'd still have seen where he's coming from, if this scene (or any other "unconvincing" scene) is "used" or "exploited" to further the plot or the theme of the film. Like, for example, how some absurd (read out-of-place) actions of a character is "used" to further the plot developments that wouldn't have happened otherwise, or to thrust in certain motifs, in many films. Here, no such thing happens. "Not enough Reasoning for me," he declares, to just take it as an "oh-well-whatever" scene and move forward with the film.

5 unknown special things about Dasavatharam

1. There is a scene where hero Kamal Haasan and Malika Sherawat fight on the top of building and as they are about fall down, they catch hold of a synthetic vertically long banner that has the face of Sardaji Kamal. As both get down, they tear the banner apart from both the ends and land down. This scene is originally present in one of the James Bond film starring Pierce Brosnon titled tomorrow never dies.

2. It took a day to shoot just a car blasting in the remote road. The arrangements were made prior to one day. As every resident near the place looking at the set decorations thought a big scene is going to be shot, they were completely disappointed. Exactly at 1 in the night, bomb blasting from the car was shot.

3. Kanal Kannan while directing stunt wasn�t completely satisfied with Kamal�s performance. He was asking more and more takes (the scene involved Kamal getting out of the car as foreigner Kamal tries to shoot him and has to hit a person traveling in bike). Kamal Haasan was frustrated but couldn�t scold him, but did it indirectly by scolding assistant directors into task.

4. 5 foreigners raising their bikes upwards the stairs was the scene and that would appear on the screens just for 15 seconds. It took nearly about half a day to complete this shot.

5. There is a scene where Kamal has to jump from the train and hold a rope to jump the bridge. A dupe did the stunt was severely hurt and immediately doctor with ambulance came to his rescue.

http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/08/jan/30-sony-bmg-acquires-the-biggest-dhasavadhaaram-010809.asp

With India emerging as one of the hottest entertainment markets, SONY BMG, the number one music company in the world, is marking its expanding footsteps into the regional music industry in India. Sony BMG has made its entry into the growing music market in Tamil Nadu by signing on the biggest blockbuster of the year - DHASAVADHAARAM.

SONY BMG signed the biggest blockbuster of the year - V Ravichandran's DHASAVADHAARAM starring the legendary Kamal Hassan. Kollywood's leading producer and distributor, V Ravichandran of Oscar Films Pvt. Ltd. confirming the release date of his film said, "DHASAVADHAARAM is getting ready for a worldwide solo release on April 10, Thursday. It will release big in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out."

Excited about venturing into the Tamil Market, Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, SONY BMG India, "It is a privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as DHASAVADHAARAM. Being associated with Mr. Kamal Hassan & Mr. V Ravichandran in our very first Tamil project says a lot about the equity of SONY BMG, even in the markets where our presence has not been significant till recently. DHASAVADHAARAM is a very special beginning to the things to come and it shows our commitment to be a serious long term player in this market. SONY BMG has always redefined the way music has been marketed, and we are looking forward to setting new standards here as well."

DHASAVADHAARAM, the most expected movie of the year 2007, features Kamal Hassan in ten different roles, countered by the heroine Asin's dual role in the movie. Mallika Sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. She appears as a CIA agent while Jayapradha, the well-known character artist, plays another important role in the movie. Music for DHASAVADHAARAM is scored by none other than Himesh Reshammiya. This is his debut in Kollywood.

The music for this film is slated to be launched in the first week of March. Also in the pipeline are several promising non-film albums, which include one by the very talented Yuvan Shankar. This marks SONY BMG's foray into the as-yet unexplored Tamil Pop and Non-Film music space. SONY BMG thus aims to redefine and initiate an entirely new experience of Indipop music in this region, as it has already successfully done in the existing markets.

Kamal talks abt Dasavatharam Music
Kamal Haasan, brand ambassador for Project �Hridaya Ragam � 2008�, surprised everyone present at a charity function held this evening at Greenpark Hotel, Chennai, when he agreed to talk a little bit about Dasavatharam. WMC (World Malayalee Council) Chennai Province will be conducting free paediatric heart surgeries under the Project �Hridaya Ragam � 2008�. Along with

Kamal, present at the event were donors and others concerned with the project. The project�s aim is to raise money for a 100 free heart surgeries for poor children. Malayalam Manorama said that they would like to raise funds for another 25 free paediatric heart surgeries.

As the evening drew to a close, people began to ask Kamal about Dasavatharam, Kamal replied with amusement that everywhere he went he was unfailingly asked about the movie, and his answer has always remained the same: that he can�t reveal anything yet. But this evening all that changes, he said suddenly, surprising everyone there. The film will be released in April, he added, and the audio in March. He went on to praise the work of young music composer Himesh Reshammiya. Here is a North Indian, pointed out Kamal, who has composed music that beautifully and perfectly evokes all that is South Indian. Especially period music and songs that evoke 12th century South India.

Someone else asked him about a proposed project with Walt Disney. The usually taciturn Kamal Haasan admitted that talks were on to get the Walt Disney project off the ground. Kamal opening up over Dasavatharam, long kept under strict wraps, is indeed great news for fans. From now on, we can hopefully expect Kamal to reveal more.

This news has come in today's Dhinathanthi also.there are few more info on Dasa missed out in this link.

*About Jackichan releasing the audio,kamal said, "since it was not confirmed he did not say anything about it,but now i have confirmed info about this with the producer.". It was bit confusing reading this.I understand that JC will indeed release the audio.

*The report also has a Photo of one of the memebers of the org. presenting a cheque to Kamalhassan

*News also added that there will be a musical program in feb to raise funds for this organisation which will be inagurated by Illayaraja.

இதயங்களின் நாயகன் கமல்!

பந்திக்கு முந்து படைக்குப் பிந்து என்று தமிழில் ஒரு பழமொழி உண்டு. கலைஞானி கமல்ஹாசனுக்கு இது பொருந்தாது. அவர் பந்திக்கு பிந்துவார், நல்ல காரியங்கள் செய்யும் படையில் முதல் ஆளாக நிற்பார்.

குறிப்பாக மருத்துவ உதவிகள் செய்வதில் எப்போதும் முன்னணியில் நிற்பவர் கமல். இலவச ரத்த தான முகாம்கள், கண் ஒளி வழங்கும் முகாம்கள் என ஆண்டு முழுவதும் தனது ரசிகர் நற்பணி இயக்கம் மூலம் செய்து வருகிறார். தனது உடலையே, அரசு பொது மருத்துவமனை மருத்துவக் கல்லூரிக்கு தானமாகக் கொடுத்துவிட்டவர் கமல். இப்போது மேலும் ஒரு புதிய பணியில் தன்னை ஈடுபடுத்திக் கொண்டுள்ளார்.

உலக மலையாளிகள் சம்மேளனம், மெட்ராஸ் மெடிகல் மிஷன் மற்றும் மலையாள மனோரமா நிறுவனம் ஆகியவை இணைந்து இந்த ஆண்டு 100 ஏழைக் குழந்தைகளுக்கு இலவச இதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சைக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்துள்ளன. இதற்காகும் செலவுத் தொகை ரூ.100 லட்சத்தை, சிறப்பு இசை நிகழ்ச்சி மூலம் திரட்ட திட்டமிட்டுள்ளன.

இசைஞானி டாக்டர் இளையராஜாவின் தலைமையில் நடைபெறும் இந்த நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு இருதய ராகம் -2008 எனப் பெயரிடப்பட்டுள்ளது. இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியை தானே முன்வந்து ஏற்பாடு செய்ததோடு நில்லாமல், நிகழ்ச்சியின் தூதராகவும் செயல்பட்டு நிதி திரட்டித் தருகிறார் கமல்ஹாசன்.

பிப்ரவரி 24-ம் தேதி மாலை 5-30 மணிக்கு சென்னை நேரு உள்விளையாட்டு அரங்கில் நடக்கும் இந்த நிகழ்ச்சியில் தென்னிந்திய சினிமாவின் அனைத்து இசைக் கலைஞர்களும் பாடகர்களும் பங்கேற்கிறார்கள். இசைஞானி இளையராஜா குத்துவிளக்கேற்றி துவக்கி வைத்துப் பாடுகிறார்.

இதற்கென நேற்று ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்பட்டிருந்த சிறப்பு பத்திரிகையாளர் கூட்டத்தில் கலந்து கொண்ட கமல்ஹாசன் கூறியதாவது:

இந்தியாவில் இருதய நோயால் தவிக்கும் ஏழைக் குழந்தைகளின் எண்ணிக்கை ஆண்டுதோறும் அதிகரித்துக் கொண்டே வருகிறது. இதற்கு அரசாங்கம் மட்டுமே தீர்வு காண முடியாது. இதயமுள்ள ஒவ்வொரு இந்தியக் குடிமகனும் தன்னால் ஆன உதவியைச் செய்து, இந்நோயில் வாடும் பிஞ்சு இதயங்களைக் காக்க வேண்டும்.

ஒவ்வொரு குழந்தையின் இருதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சைக்கும் ரூ.1 லட்சம் செலவாகிறது. ஆனால் ஏழைகள் இவ்வளவு பெரிய தொகைக்கு எங்கே போவார்கள். அதனால்தான் இப்படி ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு ஏற்பாடு செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. இப்படி ஒரு நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு தூதுவராக என்னை அறிவித்துக் கொள்வதில் நிஜமான சந்தோஷமும் பெருமையும் எனக்கு.

எனது தலையில் இயங்கும் கமல்ஹாசன் நற்பணி இயக்கம் சார்பில் கடந்த ஆண்டு 16 சிறுவர்களுக்கு இம்மாதிரி இலவச அறுவைச் சிகிச்சை செய்திருக்கிறோம். இனி வரும் காலங்களில் இந்த உதவி இன்னும் பெரிய அளவில் செய்யப்பட, இருதயராகம் நிகழ்ச்சி எனக்கு உந்துதலாக அமைந்துள்ளது. இந்த இசை நிகழ்ச்சியில் நானும் பங்கேற்கிறேன். இளையராஜா போன்ற மேதைகள் ஆணையிட்டால் பாடுகிறேன், ஏன் ஆடவும் தயங்க மாட்டேன். ஒரு நல்ல செயலுக்காக என்னாலான அத்தனை உதவிகளையும் செய்வேன், என்றார் கமல்.

இந்த நிகழ்ச்சிக்கு நன்கொடை வழங்க விரும்புவோர் உலக மலையாளிகள் சம்மேளனம், சென்னை மாகாணம் (World Malayalee Council, Chennai Province) எனும் பெயரில் சென்னையில் செலுத்தத்தக்க டிடி/காசோலை அனுப்பலாம்.

உலக மலையாளிகள் கவுன்சில் ஏற்கெனவே கடந்த 2006-ம் ஆண்டு இதே போன்றதொரு நிகழ்ச்சியை நடத்தி நிதி திரட்டி, 60 குழந்தைகளுக்கு இலவச இருதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சை செய்துள்ளது. இதில் பிறந்து 8 மணி நேரம் மட்டுமே ஆன ஒரு குழந்தைக்கு செய்யப்பட்ட இலவச இருதய அறுவைச் சிகிச்சையும் அடங்கும். இதைத் தவிர ஏராளமான மருத்துவ முகாம்களையும் இலவச மருத்துவ உதவிகளையும் செய்துள்ளது.

இந்த அமைப்பு நடத்திய ஒரு இலவச கண் மருத்துவ முகாமில் மட்டுமே 3.2 லட்சம் பேருக்கு கண்தானம் வழங்கப்பட்டு, அது லிம்கா சாதனைப் புத்தகத்திலும் இடம் பெற்றுள்ளது.

Kamal meets Kalaignar!
By Moviebuzz
Sunday, 03 February , 2008, 12:33
Last Updated: Sunday, 03 February , 2008, 12:36
On Saturday (Feb 2), Ulganayakan Kamal Hassan made a surprise call on Chief Minister Kalaignar M. Karunanidhi at his Gopalapuram residence.

Though officially it was said to be a "courtesy call", the grapevine has it that Kamal wanted to invite Kalaignar as the chief guest for the audio launch of his Dasavatharam, and get a suitable date from him to hold the function.

Kamal is also said to have discussed his next venture Marmayogi with the Chief Minister with whom he has good vibes.

wat you guys say?

From: MADDY on Mon Feb 4 6:04:04 2008.

yea.. here comes the amount.. 2 crores.. Nerd, where are you??

DM, u told 2 crores for tamil alone - which is not yet true.....

From: Devar Magan on Mon Feb 4 6:06:59 2008.

Technically Dasavatharam is a Sanskrit word but so is "Karunanidhi"! Smile

Unlikely that it will get exemption

i somehow feel that they would keep a tamil title, and use dhasavadharam as a caption...
cos it could easily save them 10 to 15 crores which is a big amount comparably...

wat you guys say?

its a movie thats going to be marketed all over the world.. dasavatharam is well understood by people all over india.. having a common name helps a lot in marketing the movie..

tax exemption for tamil title is applicable only in TN.. so, it may fetch an additional revenue of 5 to 10 crores from tamilnadu.. but, it will be like disturbing the already established brand called Dasavatharam, which is not advisable..

From: Thirumaran on Mon Feb 4 6:08:24 2008.

Is Dasavatharam not a noun

From: Devar Magan on Mon Feb 4 6:11:18 2008.

being the name of a movie, dasavatharam can be treated as a proper noun..

DM : Thanks for the updated info. Anything concrete on MY? Officially thalaivar met kalaignar and he will make it on the audio release. I guess they have paid 6 c for Dasa for the TV rights.

This is the top paid movie in the Tamil TV industry.

So waiting for the 2 big days.

Audio release( I am longing to have dasa song as caller tune, I used to have only thalaivar songs as caller tunes for a long time).

The next is dasa release. I have promised my team member that I will take them for first day first show. So I need 40 tickets. If anyone can get it that is also fine.

I should plan my leave for the first day first show for DASA. I am doing it after 15 years. After Guna, I am going to see it in the first day first show.

So, the 2C news has come out in DC. Seekiramae maanga NDTV will reflect it. Whatever it is - Karthi first, media next >> esp when it comes to kamal related news.

Devi Sriprasad in Dasavatharam
IndiaGlitz [Monday, February 04, 2008]

Since Himesh Reshammiya has started his new project as hero in Bollywood, he could not do the back ground music (BGM) for Kamal Haasan�s mega movie Dasavatharam. So Kamal and the director K.S. Ravikumar have decided to go for Devi Sriprasad to do the BGM for the movie.

Though Devi Sriprasad is quite busy with Tamil and Telugu, he has immediately accepted to do the BGM for the most awaited after film 2008. For him, working in Kamal�s movie is a sentimental choice, as he was inspired by Kamal�s �Salangai Oli� to become a music director. It fact, it is a dream come true for the youngster to do music for Kamal�s film.

The young musician is awe stuck by Kamal�s ten different get ups and amazing acting in the film.

Like Himesh, the smart looking Devi Sriprasad too gets offers to act as hero. The music director, who is doing music for the films like Kanthaswamy, Santosh Subramaniam, and the new film featuring Vijay in Prabhu Deva�s direction, is not averse to the idea of acting. He is ready to take up the challenge if he is offered a good role.

1. What's the BW connection, if there's one? I don't get it
2. Are you going to ROTFL because the news is false? Or is it because, like Maddy says Sony will bite the dust? If its the latter, its fine because nobody can rule that possibility out and you/Maddy maybe proved right. Maybe not but there's every chance.
All that said, difficult to imagine Sony not knowing what they are doing.
If its the former, i think all that ROTFL is just a waste of energy because that would mean you are accusing Sony of lying (if indeed the 2cr thing comes out officially in the media. I have not yet seen the DC report though i heard it from our source and i'm not committed on that yet till it comes officially)
3. In case you think DM is lying, adhu eppadi solli vecha madhiri DM solra news media la varudhu, figures utpada? Are DM and the media in cahoots with their evil nexus? Or does DM transfer the figures through telepathy or something so that the media reports the same figure DM had mentioned so that both DM and the media lie the same lie? Or is Sony (and Oscar) lying through their teeth? Gee, appadi paatha naama endha news-ume namba mudiyadhe, not just from Sony. conpees

Appo what happend to ARR garu. BGM chaestaaru enndaar newsuu? Its bad call as per me IR is better option than any of these new comers.. in BGM dept. atleast

From: crajkumar_be on Mon Feb 4 11:02:00 2008.

ARR wouldn't do just the BGM for a film for which music is composed by somebody else and understandably so. The same reason applies to IR also i guess (Hey Ram was different).

Yes, definitely a bad call - no doubt but hope the overall end result makes these factors insignificant

Bollywood Trade News Network

With India emerging as one of the hottest entertainment markets, SONY BMG, the number one music company in the world, is marking its expanding footsteps into the regional music industry in India. Sony BMG has made its entry into the growing music market in Tamil Nadu by signing on the biggest blockbuster of the year - DHASAVADHAARAM.
SONY BMG signed the biggest blockbuster of the year - V Ravichandran's DHASAVADHAARAM starring the legendary Kamal Hassan. Kollywood's leading producer and distributor, V Ravichandran of Oscar Films Pvt. Ltd. confirming the release date of his film said, "DHASAVADHAARAM is getting ready for a worldwide solo release on April 10, Thursday. It will release big in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out."

Excited about venturing into the Tamil Market, Mr. Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, SONY BMG India, "It is a privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as DHASAVADHAARAM. Being associated with Mr. Kamal Hassan and Mr. V Ravichandran in our very first Tamil project says a lot about the equity of SONY BMG, even in the markets where our presence has not been significant till recently. DHASAVADHAARAM is a very special beginning to the things to come and it shows our commitment to be a serious long term player in this market. SONY BMG has always redefined the way music has been marketed, and we are looking forward to setting new standards here as well."

DHASAVADHAARAM, the most expected movie of the year 2007, features Kamal Hassan in ten different roles, countered by the heroine Asin's dual role in the movie. Mallika Sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. She appears as a CIA agent while Jayapradha, the well-known character artist, plays another important role in the movie. Music for DHASAVADHAARAM is scored by none other than Himesh Reshammiya. This is his debut in Kollywood.

The music for this film is slated to be launched in the first week of March. Also in the pipeline are several promising non-film albums, which include one by the very talented Yuvan Shankar. This marks SONY BMG's foray into the as-yet unexplored Tamil Pop and Non-Film music space. SONY BMG thus aims to redefine and initiate an entirely new experience of Indipop music in this region, as it has already successfully done in the existing markets.

2 crores for a Tamil movie is impossible. But DASA has music by Himesh. What if the audio becomes a hit in the north, which is highly probable. The cassettes and CDs are sold not only in TN but also in all other states & countries as well. Since the movie is releasing in 3 languages, the scope is much bigger. Also we have to consider the revenue generated through music channels MTV & V. Thats big business indeed! I feel we will have a better idea if someone can let us know the rate for which the audio rights for recent bollywood movies were sold for.

Thamizh,
A quick refresh would help i guess.
1. 2 Crores figure has come in the DC yesterday, according to Amarshiva.
2. DM said he "heard" that it was 2C for Tamil alone and he says that the "heard" is a fact - the act of hearing. In short, he posted what he heard. He said it in the context that he is not twisting "facts" as in changing his stand. In all likelihood it must be 2C overall, not just for Tamil IMO (assuming what we heard will come out in the media).

But compared to Shivaji- Rajini , one thing which is good / rather great about DASA is atleast KH is talking about the movie in public whereever its possible. that way people have still not lost the interest in the project.It also increases the confidence in the project.

60 - 80Cr. is gettable in 4 Languges. Audio rites 2cr for overall (TAMIL/HINDI and other Language) I feel OSCAR GARU sold it for very less, but on the other side for a newbie Music Director this price is extraoridinary. I am not sure whether even ARR GARU got this price for few of his projects. KH himself has atested Himesh's Geniusness.. in his recent interview.

OVERALL KH FANS can have the sigh of relief. Movie is more or less ready to be the Biggest Movie for 2008. Oru kumundu samyooo!!

KH looks slimer, But Malika is looking even slimmer... May be Scret of DASA energy. !! I Mean KSR has worked really overtime and all actors has worked there HEART out.!!

KAMAL SPEAKS ABOUT DASA.

The much-awaited Dashaavtaram is going through post-production at a brisk pace. The movie will hit screens on April 10th, according to news sources. Kamal is appearing in 10 different roles in the movie.Lovely Asin is his pair. K.S.Ravikumar is directing the movie. Besides all the tidbits of info about the movie filling up the media, Dashaavtaram will definitely hold some more interesting instant surprises.

The actor and the entire crew has always maintained a stoic silence about Dashaavataram. But at a recent function, when quizzed about the movie, Kamal Haasan spoke about the music of the film.

'தசாவதாரம்' பார்த்த அதிர்ஷ்டசாலி!

கமல் பத்து வேடங்களில் நடிக்கும் ' தசாவதாரம் ' படத்தின் அத்தனை வேட ஸ்டில்களை ஒட்டு மொத்தமாகப் பார்த்தவர்களே இல்லை என்று பேசிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் வேளையில், மொத்தப் படத்தையும் ஒருவர் பார்த்திருக்கிறார் என்றால் அது அதிசயத்திலும் அதிசயம் அல்லவா? அந்த அதிசயத்திற்குச் சொந்தக்காரர் இசையமைப்பாளர் தேவிஸ்ரீ பிரசாத்!
'தசாவதாரம்' படத்துக்கு இசையமைப்பாளர் ஹநமேஷ் ரேஷமய்யா. ஒத்துக் கொண்டது போல் பாடல்களுக்கு ட்யூன் கொடுத்து பாடல் ரிக்கார்டிங்கும் முடிவடைந்து விட்டது. படப்பிடிப்புகள் நிறைவடைவதற்குள் ஹநமேஷ் ரேஷமய்யாவுக்கு நாலாப் பக்கமிருந்தும் நாயகன் வேஷம் வர, அவரால் ' தசாவதாரத் 'திற்கு பின்னணி இசை அமைக்க முடியாத நிலை. இந்நிலையில், இசையமைப்பாளர் தேவிஸ்ரீ பிரசாத்துக்கு தொலைபேசி ஒன்று வந்தது. ' எனது தசாவதாரம் படத்துக்குப் பின்னணி இசை அமைக்கச் சம்மதமா? ' கேட்டது சாட்சாத் கமல்ஹாசனேதான். "கமல் சாரின் 'சலங்கை ஒலி' பார்த்துச் சினிமாவிற்கு வந்தவன் நான். இந்த வாய்ப்பை விடுவேனா" என்றார் தேவிஸ்ரீ பிரசாத்! கமலின் பத்து வேடங்களைப் பார்த்துக் கிறங்கிப் போனவர், " எனது இசை வாழ்வில் இதுவொரு மைல் கல்லாக இருக்கும் " என்றார் நிஜமான பெருமிதத்துடன்!

Yeah Rite.. keep dreaming.!!

10 BGM 100 BGMooo.. if he addes his Andhra Masala style.. Consider calling it GOVINDA GOOOOVINDA! I am not expecting DSP to do anything fancy which might in turn harm the project. If he a does an average job he is good and safe.! Keeping time factor if he can pull off..a decent job All well in the end.

Its Complex project from any stand point ! I am not sure any other KAMAL GARUS project has taken this long.. DM or CRBE can correct me if I am wrong. So there is lot at stake ! Huge speculations will start coming up thick and fast once Tralier is relased on story, roles, etc etc... Can't wait to cook my story after seeing trailer.

Like LM said, Himesh doesn't do BGM for his movies. The credits would credit him for the songs but not the BGM. BGM is done by someone else. In fact, its not only with Himesh, thats the case with any MD in Bollywood now i think (experts may correct me if im wrong).
For e.g, OSO - Vishal-Shekar music, Sandeep Chowta BGM. No Smoking - VB music, two others did the BGM. I guess thats the norm in BW

i cant understand the so called tax exemption funda of the TN state government.

"sivaji" got tax exemption citing that it is a "proper noun" and hence can be exempted from the taxes, but there was ABSOLUTELY no need for the protagonist to be named "sivaji". say, for example, it wud hav made no difference to the story even if the protagonist had been named "tamil selvan" or "kamban" or "pugazhendi".

but the producers of the movie "emden magan" were forced to change the name despite the fact that even "emden" is a "proper noun" !!!

and now dasa might be in crisis becoz they assume that "dasavataram" is a sanskrit word, but shankar n co have happily translated "robot" into some dumb word called "iyanthira" which is nothing but the sanskrit word "yantra", and nobody is opposing or pointing out that iyanthira is also not a tamil word

-deleted-

the more apt tamil translation for robot is "thaaniyangi karuvi" or "thaaniyangi pori maandhan" funny, right!!

btw, i am not even sure whether "maandhan" is a proper tamil word or only a corrupted sanskrit word like "manidhan"

sakala, DM, plz do something about this, especially if u got some contacts.
From: NOV on Tue Feb 12 4:45:45 2008.

I quite support this tax exemption rule; no one is forced to name thier films against their wishes.

Guess this came about after a bout of films titled... 123, Yei, ah aah, dhool, dhil, and plenty more with english names.

Dasavatharam and Sivaji deserve the exemptions as these are not nonsensical names.

A good move by the TN govt.

அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதி ஜார்ஜ் புஷ், 8 அடி உயரமுள்ள வெளிநாட்டுக்காரர், கறுப்பு நிறமுள்ள தொழிற்சங்க தலைவர், 90 வயது பாட்டி, கோவில் அர்ச்சகர் உள்பட 10 வேடங்களிலும் கமலஹாசன் மாறுபட்ட தோற்றங்களில் வருகிறார். இதற்காக, `ஹாலிவுட்' மேக்கப்மேன் வெஸ்ட்மூர், அமெரிக்காவில் இருந்து வரவழைக்கப்பட்டார்.

அவரிடம், கமலஹாசன் ஒவ்வொரு வேடத்துக்கும் பல மணி நேரம் செலவிட்டு, `மேக்கப்' போட்டுக்கொண்டார்.

அசின்

`தசாவதாரம்' படத்தில் கமலஹாசன் ஜோடியாக அசின் 2 வேடங்களில் நடித்து இருக்கிறார். பிரபல இந்தி நடிகை மல்லிகா ஷெராவத், ஜெயப்ரதா ஆகியோரும் கமலஹாசன் ஜோடியாக நடித்துள்ளனர்.

ஒரு முக்கிய வேடத்தில், நெப்போலியன் நடித்து இருக்கிறார். நகைச்சுவை வேடத்தில் ரமேஷ்கண்ணா வருகிறார்.

கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் டைரக்டு செய்திருப்பதுடன், ஒரு முக்கிய வேடத்திலும் நடித்து இருக்கிறார். கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் இதற்கு முன்பு கமலஹாசனை வைத்து, `அவ்வை சண்முகி' படத்தை டைரக்டு செய்தவர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

ரூ.50 கோடி செலவில்...

தமிழ் பட உலகில் உள்ள பிரபல தயாரிப்பாளர்களில் ஒருவரான ஆஸ்கார் பிலிம்ஸ் ரவிச்சந்திரன், ரூ.50 கோடி செலவில் `தசாவதாரம்' படத்தை தயாரித்து இருக்கிறார்.

படப்பிடிப்பு கடந்த டிசம்பர் மாதமே முடிவடைந்தது. எடிட்டிங், டப்பிங், பின்னணி இசை சேர்ப்பு பணிகள் தொடர்ந்து நடைபெற்று வந்தது. அந்த வேலைகள் அனைத்தும் ஏறக்குறைய முடிவடையும் நிலையில் உள்ளது.

வருகிற ஏப்ரல் 10-ந் தேதி, `தசாவதாரம்' திரைக்கு வரும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.

3 மொழிகளில்...

இந்த படம் தமிழ், தெலுங்கு, இந்தி ஆகிய 3 மொழிகளில் தயாராகி இருக்கிறது. தமிழ், இந்தி ஆகிய 2 மொழி படங்களுக்கும் கமலஹாசனே தனது சொந்த குரலில் `டப்பிங்' பேசியிருக்கிறார்.

தெலுங்கு படத்துக்கு, கமலஹாசனுக்காக பின்னணி பாடகர் எஸ்.பி.பாலசுப்பிரமணியம் `டப்பிங்' பேசியிருக்கிறார். கமலஹாசன் நடித்த சில தெலுங்கு படங்களுக்கு, எஸ்.பி.பாலசுப்பிரமணியம் ஏற்கனவே `டப்பிங்' பேசியிருக்கிறார்.

`தசாவதாரம்' என்பது, இந்து கடவுளான மகாவிஷ்ணுவின் அவதார மகிமைகளை குறிக்கும். அதை கருவாக வைத்தே `தசாவதாரம்' படத்தின் கதை அமைக்கப்பட்டிருப்பதாக தெரிகிறது.

Thilak,

Quote:

Kamal Hassan's much-awaited Kollywood flick 'Dasavatharam,' his latest experiment with variety by donning 10 different roles, is finally slated for an early April release.

Originally planned for a 'Pongal' release, the movie has dragged well beyond the schedule.

"The post-production work is still on and it may take some time... the film is expected to be released on April 10," (three days ahead of the Tamil New Year), sources in the film unit told us.

The actor, who also speaks 10 different dictions in the film, has decided to keep away from the media till the release of the film, the sources added.

He has penned the screenplay and dialogue too.

The Tamil audience should also wait to see Bollywood damsel, Mallika Sherawat, who is playing a role in this film.

Though she had earlier done an item number in Maniratnam's 'Guru', it was only a dubbed version, and 'Dasavatharam' could well mark her first direct entry into Kollywood.

The film is being directed by K S Ravikumar, a man who knows the art of delivering hit movies. In fact, he had earlier directed Kamal in the rib-tickler, 'Panchathanthiram.'

'Dasavatharam,' meaning the ten incarnations of Lord Mahavishnu, also marks the Kollywood debut of Himesh Reshammiah, the man whose tunes Bollywood has been swinging for the past few years.

A stickler to the saying "variety is the spice of life," Kamal, as he is fondly called, has tried many an experiment with the looks of his characters, especially the old man in `Indian' (`Hindustani' in Hindi) the old woman in `Avvai Shanmugi' (Chachi 420 in Hindi) and in "Anbe Sivam," directed by Sundar C.

Page 2:

Quote:

A top hero who never shies away from exeprimenting, both with the script and looks, Kamal had did the same thing with 'Virumaandi', his home production, which also ran into some controversy with a political party claiming that the original title, 'Sandiyar,' would inspire the youth in villages to openly wield the traditional weapons in the name of chivalry.

Buckling to pressure, the actor-director renamed the film as 'Virumaandi' after the lead character. But his moustache in the film went on to be popularly branded as 'Virumaandi Meesai,' (Virumaandi moustache) in Tamil Nadu.

Dasavatharam�: All the way from Japan!
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, February 13, 2008]

Dasavatharam Gallery

Kamal Haasan�s �Dasavatharam� has hit headlines for various reasons. This time around it is under the focus for a special guest all the way from Japan!

�Dasavatharam� is a big budget film in Kollywood, next to �Sivaji� that was released last year. Though the talkies part of the film was wrapped up last year in December itself, much time is being taking to complete the back ground music score and the post-production work.

The Tamil film industry is abuzz with news that the music launch of this film might take place in the month of March this year. Oscar films is producing this much-awaited flick, and the producer Oscar Ravichandran had announced a month back that the chief guest for the music launch will be none other than Jackie Chan himself.

At that time some people called this a publicity stunt by Ravi Chandran for promoting the film but the fact is that his brother, Ramesh Babu, has taken a trip to Japan to meet the famous Hollywood star.

The �Dasavatharam� team is awaiting the return of Ramesh Babu who is expected to return to Chennai this week after which things can be finalized on the invite.

Sony has obtained the copy rights for the songs of �Dasavatharam� and around two lakh CDs are to be released into the market. The price of one CD will be fixed at Rs. 99/-. If all goes as planned then this will be the �most� costliest music CD in Tamil industry.

It seems like the 'Dasavatharam' team will settle for nothing but the best!

Well...some new news which is always welcome. Something better than nothing.

Budget is 50 crores which is believable. Usually there will some hype and exageration on the budget - so it is perhaps between 40 and 50 Cr.

They say simultaneous release in 3 languages. Earlier there were some media reports that it will be dubbed into a lot more languages. May be later?

Quote:

Chennai: For music director Devi Sriprasad, the opportunity to work in �Dasavatharam� is a dream come true.

A �devotee of actor Kamal Haasan� � as he declares himself, the young music director, who has made a name for himself in Tollywood, has his hands full in Kollywood too.

He recently wrapped up work for �Santosh Subramaniam� starring Jeyam Ravi and is composing music for �Kanthasami,� starring actor Vikram and directed Susi Ganesan. He has also been signed up for actor Vijay�s next film, to be directed by Prabhu Deva. And now, the recent assignment to score the background music for Kamal�s �Dasavatharam,� he says, was an irresistible offer.

An ardent fan of not just actor Kamal, but also Kamal, the singer, he says he will try his best to get the actor to sing for him, in the background score. �I am working on a really special tune for him.� �The film Salangai Oli and Illayaraja Sir�s music in the film is my inspiration. Even now, I watch the film often,� he says.

Queried on what he felt about the clippings he saw from the film that has been making so much news, he says: �Working with Kamal sir is like receiving an Oscar award. There is no superlative that can match this one man called Kamal,� he says.

Good, he can be given assignments in field work! Smile

Few years back, when the movie 'Myth' was being made, Jackie Chan was interviewed by one of the indian journalists. When asked who his favourite Indian Actor was, Chan said it is an actor from the south who has done several good movies. I was expecting him to say our Thalaivar's name but he disappointed me by saying he doesnt remember the name of the star.

Now in this audio release, I expect him to say few words praising Thalaivar! OMG! Those words are enough to make the whole world take notice of Aandavar!!!

1000 Prints for Dasavatharam-Economic Times
Oscar Films plans big release for 'Dasavatharam'
Oscar Films is planning to simutaneously release the film with close to 1000 prints for the film's worldwide release in Apr'08. 'Sivaji' which created a big euphoria in 2007, was released with 797 prints in India and overseas. Its dubbed version in Hindi is yet to be released.

"We are gearing up to release 'Dasavatharam' on Apr 10 in all the three languages simultaneously. As on date, our plans are ready for 975 prints and we expect to cross the 1000-print mark at the time of release," Oscar Films V.Ravichandran told ET.

The film's audio rights has been bagged by Sony BMG for Rs.2 crores, a record price for any Tamil film music.

With Kamal doing 10 different roles, the film requires large efforts on the computer graphics (CG)."The CG work is being carried out in 12 different centres simultaneously, including Chennai, Hong Kong, Bangkok and London." Some of the companies involved in the work include Nipuna, Prime Focus, Accel, Bink, Moving Stills and Land Marvel." Industry experts feel that Dasavatharam uses the MOST CG after TERMINATOR 2 and it will show in every scene."

Ravichandran plans to bring out 250 prints for Tamil, 225 for Telugu, 50 for Malayalam and Kannada each, besides 200 for overseas and another 200 prints for the Hindi version.

When the post production work of Dasavatharam was going on in Hong Kong, a surprise visitor came to the spot and is said to have witnessed the proceedings. He is none other than Jackie Chan, the world�s greatest action star. He is reported to be awed by the work that was going on and expressed his appreciation to the unit. Oscar Ravichandran, the producer had extended an invitation to Chan to participate in the audio release function of Dasavatharam in India which has been very warmly received by this legendary Chinese star. It is expected that in all probability Jackie Chan would grace the audio release function of Kamal�s Dasavatharam.

Monday, 18 February , 2008, 18:36

The audio release of Kamal Hassan�s magnum opus Dasavatharam is to be held on March 14, Friday at the Nehru stadium in Chennai. And the chief guest for the function is said to be Asia�s biggest star and action hero Jackie Chan.
Himesh Reshammiya is the music director for the film whose audio rights have been purchased by Sony BMG for Rs 2 crores while Devi Prasad has composed the background score. On the same day, a teaser trailer of the film showing a glimpse of Kamal in 10 different roles will also be premiered in theatres and television.

Meanwhile producer Oscar Ravichandran has decided that he will release the film worldwide himself on April 10. As of now the print order for the film which will be simultaneously released in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi may touch 1000 plus.

At the moment computer graphics (CG) work is being carried out in 12 different cities simultaneously including Chennai, Hong Kong, Bangkok and London. Some of the leading CG companies in the world like Nipuna, Accel, Prime Focus, Bink, Moving Stills and Land Marvel are involved in the CG work.

Says a spokesperson of a CG company involved in the work: �Ravichandran is a shrewd guy. He has outsourced CG work to various companies who will now be drawn into a competition between them to produce superior quality work. For example the scenes involving Sardarji Kamal�s CG work and foreigner Kamal are being handled by different companies. Nobody other than the two Ravi�s- producer Ravichandran and director Ravikumar knows who is doing what, which will definitely improve the quality of CG work.�

Says Oscar Ravichandran: �The feedback that I�m getting is positive as far as CG work goes. The buzz in CG world is that Dasavatharam has the maximum CG effects after Terminator-2 and it will show in every frame.�

its said to be around 70- 80 cr ! I was only try to give an anaology to ppl here about the article. comparing hollywood flicks on CG dept is insane. Kamal Hassar is one of the most respected actor in Indian cinema. There are lotz of expectation on his latest venture is sky high. Movie itself has taken close to 2 yr(correct me if I am wrong).

This is quite dated article but still total budget should not be that different... I would be very surprised if it is anything more than 50 Cr. There's not much market for a tamil film (I am aware Dasa is being dubbed in to other languages). Hindi films with hindi actors not only have an all-india reach but have a bigger market overseas.

Being associated with Mr. Kamal Haasan & Mr. V Ravichandran in our very first Tamil project says a lot about the equity of SONY BMG, even in the markets where our presence has not been significant till recently. Dhasavadhaaram is a very special beginning to the things to come and it shows our commitment to be a serious long term player in this market. SONY BMG has always redefined the way music has been marketed, and we are looking forward to setting new standards here as well."

The press note further stated � "Dasavatharam is the most expected movie of the year 2008, features Kamal Haasan in ten different roles, countered by the heroine Asin's dual role in the movie. Mallika Sherawat dons an altogether different cap in this movie. She appears as a CIA agent while Jayapradha, the well-known character artiste, plays another important role in the movie. Music for the Dhasavadhaaram is given by none other than Himesh Reshammiya. This is his debut in Kollywood.

For the first time, Sony BMG, the number one music company in the world is entering the regional music industry in India, and the company has chosen Tamil as its launching pad. The film the company has signed is one of the most anticipated films of 2008, Kamal Haasan's [Images] Dasavatharam.

Himesh Reshammiya [Images] has composed the music whose audio is scheduled to be launched in the first week of March. The launch is touted to be a big affair with Jackie Chan [Images] expected to attend the function. It is said that the producers are going to have the audio release not in any hall but at the Nehru Stadium in Chennai.

Dasavatharam sees Kamal Haasan in ten different roles, and Asin, his heroine in a double role. Mallika Sherawat acts in the film as a CIA agent while Kamal's heroine of yesteryears, Jayapradha, now a Samajwadi Party MP plays a major role.

Excited about venturing into the Tamil market, Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director, Sony BMG India said, "It is a privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as Dasavatharam.

The release will be on a Thursday. It will release big in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi simultaneously, the number of prints and publicity campaign are being worked out."

Meaty roles for heroines in Dasavatharam

Chennai (PTI): While Kamalhassan's ten different roles and an equal number of dictions in the much-awaited "Dasavatharam" has been hogging the media limelight all these days, it has now emerged that the female leads are also in for some meaty roles, with heroine Asin playing a double role.

And the surprise package could well be Bollywood damsel, Mallika Sherawat, who is playing the role of a CIA agent in the movie, according to a press release.

Mallika, making her first direct entry into Kollywood, "dons an altogether different cap in the movie," the release said. Asin, who has been delivering quite a number of hits, pairing top Tamil and Telugu heroes, will for the first time play a double role.

The other Bollywood connection to the film comes by way of singer Himesh Reshammiya, who also makes his debut in Tamil cinema. However, it is not clear whether he will render one of his own numbers in Tamil. The release further said that the audio rights of the movie have been bagged by Sony BMG, which makes its foray into the regional music market through the Kamal-Asin starrer.

The release quoted Shridhar Subramaniam, Managing Director Sony BMG India as saying it was "privilege for us to enter the Tamil music market with a project as grand and special as Dasavathram".

Earlier slated for a Pongal (January 15) release, post production delay ensured that the producer, Oscar V Ravichandran rescheduled the dates for April.

The successful duo of director K S Ravikumar and Kamalhassan had earlier come out with the rib-ticklers, 'Avvai Shanmugi' and 'Panchathantiram'.

Even before the news that Sony BMG taken the music rights of �Dasavadharam� could die down, here comes more news about this mega-budget movie.

By now we are all aware that Kamal Haasan will be appearing in ten different makeovers in this film, and one of them will be like a famous Sardarji singer. A few more pictures have been released, one of which shows the �Ulaga Nayagan� jumping in the air in a Sardarji makeover. The makeup is too good that it fits Kamal like a glove.

The producer of this flick Oscar Ravichandran has spent around 50 crores in the making of �Dasavadharam�. It is confirmed that �Dasavadharam� will hit theatres on April 10, 2008. The film is a tri-lingual as it is being shot in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi. Kamal has dubbed in Hindi and Tamil, and with regards to Telugu, play back singer S.P. Balasubramaniyam is dubbing for the actor.

Highlights:

�Dasavadharam� will see the release of 1000 prints. There are lots of highlights as far as this film is concerned. It will see the comeback of actress Jayapradha in Tamil after a hiatus. The actress has a special appearance in this film. The film also stars yester year comedian Nagesh, Napolean, R. Sunderrajan, Ramesh Khanna, M. S. Baskar, K. R. Vijaya and Rekha.

The music launch of �Dasavadharam� will take place towards the end of March from Nehru indoor stadium, Chennai. Hollywood actor, Jackie Chan, will be the Chief Guest and will release the audio. The music launch will be a star studded one with hi-fi film celebrities like Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwariya Rai Bachchan, and Telugu Star Venkatesh gracing the music launch.

With so much hype on �Dasavadharam� hitting the stands on a daily basis, we hope this film will satiate the desires of all the fans.

Its nice to see know that Kamal has included actors, out of his circle in DASA. I believe these two have'nt acted with him before. He usually goes for Delhi Ganesh(a good actor but havent we seen the Kamal-DG combo a lot many times?), Santhana Bharathi

Jackie Chan to release Dasavatharam music

Gullu Gupshup
February 25, 2008 14:09 IST

Having Mallika Sherawat [Images] in your film has quite a few perks, besides the more obvious one of roping in a sex bomb. You get to have Jackie Chan [Images] as the chief guest for the music launch!

So when Kamal Haasan [Images] wanted Chan to launch the music of his film, Dasavatharam, he asked Mallika to help out. And now, Chan will, in all probability, fly down to Chennai for the launch in March.

Mallika had worked with Chan in The Myth, in which she had a tiny role. But the two forged a good friendship during the making of the film as well as their trip to the Cannes film festival.

Dasavatharam is one of the most ambitious Tamil films of the year, and will star Hassan in 10 different roles. Besides Mallika, the film also stars Tamil actress, Asin. The music has been composed by Himesh Reshammiya [Images].

Dasavatharam will bounce over IPL

M Bharat Kumar | Sun, 24 Feb, 2008,01:50 PM
.

Come April, the much awaited Indian Premier League (IPL) action kicks off across the country. Prominent cricketers from various countries will take the field. Spread over two months, it has emerged a sought-after tournament among cricket-lovers.

The cricket-savvy Chennaiittes will be rooting for their local team - Chennai Super Kings, which boasts of big names like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Muthiah Muralitharan, Mathew Hayden and Stephen Fleming.

.

Though the cricket carnival has enthused sport-lovers, fear has gripped the Tamil film industry which normally witnesses a host of movies release during the summer vacation.

�Cricket attracts maximum attention from the people and it is a big risk releasing movies during these days�, says a prominent producer.

�The fact that cricket enjoys equal patronage to that of films cannot be overestimated�, he says and adds, �perhaps movies starring big stars can still rope in the moolah given their fan-following�.

Kamal Haasan�s much-hyped and anticipated Dasavatharam is ready for release this April, while efforts are on to ensure that Vijay�s magnum opus Kuruvi see the light of the day this summer vacation. Also a half-a-dozen other movies are in the queue.

Producer V Ravichandran of Oscar Films is however a happy man. He is confident that the IPL will not ruin the prospects of his home production Dasavatharam.

�The movie has come good and the hard work of the entire cast and crew and the marvel on screen is sure to attract the audience�, he says and adds, �even I am a keen lover of cricket. However I will not be glued to the television set all round the clock to watch the matches. Dasavatharam is sure to bring audience to theatres�.

Known for his shrewd marketing, Ravichandran has proved in the past that his movies go on to become a big hit in spite of cricket action.

Movies like Chithiram Pesuthadi were successfully distributed by Ravichandran at a time when the World Cup cricket was on.

�Summer vacation provides people an opportunity to go places and Dasavatharam would be one such preferred destination. It may not be the case if a movie like Dasavatharam is released in August or September. Students would prefer to academics and watch television programmes during those times�.

A keen lover of cricket, Oscar Ravichandran, says, � I too would love to watch some matches. My heart goes out for our local club Chennai Super Kings. Chak De Chennai�.

For people, �it is entertainment all the way this summer�.

Nagesh plays important role in all Kamal Hassan films. Both Nagesh & Kamal share special bonding in promoting Tamil Cinema. Likewise, Nagesh is been called by Kamal to do a special role in Dasavatharam. The Happy Nagesh accepted the offer without hesitation.

Speaking about Kamal Hassan, Nagesh laud Kamal for his excellence acting skill and his way of approaching the people, one step ahead Nagesh described Kamal is a Man of this centaury. Nagesh is looking forward to see the arrival of Dasavatharam.

Dasavadharam� audio launch postponed
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, February 27, 2008]

The much awaited audio launch of �Dasavadharam�, which was scheduled to be held in March, is now postponed to April. The venue too has been changed. Earlier, producer Oscar Ravichandran planned to stage the mega show in Nehru Indoor Stadium. Now it is decided to be held at Nandanam YMCA Ground.

However, there will be no change in the grandeur of the function. The big weights from various languages would attend the function. Apart from the chief guest Jackie Chan, the superstar studded event will have Mammootty, Mohanlal, Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Chiranjeevi, Nagarjuna, and Amitabh Bachan. Talks are on to bring two superstars from Kannada industry. Sony Audio Company, which has bagged the audio rights, is coordinating the arrangements for the function.

The audio rights have been sold at an unprecedented rate. The amount, it is said is something, which no Tamil audio track has ever fetched.

�Dasavadharam� has broken the record in terms of TV channel rights as well. It has been sold at a rate of Rs. 10 lakhs higher than that of Sivaji!

Audio launch on April 2

By Moviebuzz
Thursday, 28 February , 2008, 13:19

Kamal Hassan's magnum opusDasavatharam, produced by Oscar Ravichandran and directed by K.S Ravi Kumar will have its audio launch on Sunday April 2 at Chennai's Nehru Stadium. And the chief guest at the function will be none other than Asia's biggest action hero Jackie Chan.
The audio launch which was earlier slated on March 14 has been postponed to suit Chan's availability. Now the big question the trade is asking is whether the film will be postponed to May, since the audio launch is happening only on April 2? For big movies normally there is a gap of one month between audio launch and theatrical release.

Oscar Ravichandran, the producer of the film is a risk taker, as he is distributing himself the film worldwide. Though a Mumbai based corporate has offered him Rs 55 crores for worldwide theatrical rights, he is looking at a much higher price.

Ravi is keeping to his earlier date of April 10 as release date, but the trade feels it is impossible and may come out only in May. Ravi wants the film to take a bumper opening without any competition from Hollywood and Bollywood summer biggies that are due in May.

So it looks like Ravi will release Dasavatharam on April 10 or 18 the latest, to get the big solo release advantage.

The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

Dasavatharam-First sale!

By Moviebuzz
Sunday, 02 March , 2008, 11:37
Last Updated: Sunday, 02 March , 2008, 12:06

The first theatrical rights sale of Oscar Ravichandran�s Kamal Hassan big budget extravaganza Dasavatharam has taken place. Kerala theatrical rights have been sold to a NRI in Dubai, a big fan of Kamal Hassan for a whopping Rs 2.25 crore!
The NRI, an avid reader of sify.com confessed that he read so much about Dasavatharam in the site. His big dream was to make a film with Kamal Hassan, which was hard to realize. So the next best thing was to distribute Kamal�s magnum opus in his home state of Kerala.

Dasavatharam is now almost confirmed for release on Friday, April 18. The NRI who has purchased the Kerala rights has roped in Lal Creations to distribute the film. Lal creations are the leading Malayalam distributors and producers, and are owned by character artist cum villain in Tamil and Telugu films Lal.

Lal creations have already started making the bookings for Dasavatharam, as there is acute shortage of theatres in Kerala since it will be Vishu time in the state and Mohanlal, Mammootty, Dileep films are also due for release.

I feel that if Dasa were to come out in April (April 10/18th) after a good level of publicity, it is bound to do well. I am really not interested in who releases the audio or how grand the function is. Oscar is getting unnecssarily caught up in these issues. What matters most is whether all the work related to the film is complete. If it is, they should just get it out and April seems like the best bet.

Dasavatharam trailer premiere on April 2

By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 05 March , 2008, 12:33

Oscar Ravichandran is going to premiere the teaser trailer of his most ambitious film Dasavatharam on April 2 at the audio launch of the film in the presence of Jackie Chan and other special guests.

A 90- second crisp 'First Look' teaser trailer of Dasavatharam, in which all the 10 roles that Kamal Hassan does in the film is ready. Ravichandran wants it to be screened only on April 2 at the function. The first song in the film featuring Kamal, Asin and Nepolean will also be screened on the occasion.

Ravichandran has appointed a Mumbai based publicist to promote the film all over India. Meanwhile Ravichandran held a sneak peek of Dasavatharam trailer and a song for select exhibitors in Tamilnadu.

The film is slated for a worldwide release on April 18.

Today's Vikatan carries an interview with KSR and some stills from the movie had been given. There are around 5 photographs. Kamal and Asin, Kamal standing in front of the camera listening to KSR with the script, KSR with Mallika Sherawat, JP and the only new photograph I could find was Kamal and KSR standing in front of a temple near an elephant surrounded by many vaishnavaites. KSR had talked about the movie in general without commiting on the date of release.

When KSR asked Kamal what will he try to achieve next, coz, almost he has reached the pinnacle with Dasa.., to which Kamal took him to his room, opened his laptop and showed a mini trailer of his next film, in the story-board !!!

Finally KSR finished saying, " Seyal padamal avaral oru naal kooda irukka mudiyadu. That's Kamal".

ரவிகுமார் சொல்லும் ரகசியங்கள்

'புரியாத புதிர்'தான் ஆரம்பம். இதோ, கே.எஸ்.ரவி குமாரின் அபார அவதாரம், கமலின் 'தசாவதாரம்'!

ஜீன்ஸ் இளைஞர்கள் பரபரக்கும் அலுவலகத்தில் கண்ணாடியைத் தூக்கிவிட்டபடி பெரிய சைஸ் படத்தில் சிரிக்கிறார் ரவிகுமார். கடந்து போய்க் கதவைத் திறந்தால், மிக அமைதி யாக 'நல்லாயிருக்கீங்களா?' எனப் புன்னகையோடு விசாரிக் கிறார். நெற்றியைச் சுரண்டும் பிசினஸே இல்லை... கேள்வியை முடிக்கும் முன்பே, பதில் வந்து விழுகிறது.

''பத்து அவதாரம்! எல்லோருக்குமே அந்த ஆச்சர்யத்தைக் கொண்டாட்டமாகப் பார்க்க ஆசையா இருக்கு. எப்படி வந்திருக்கு படம்?''

''அஜீத்தோடு 'வரலாறு' படம் செய்துட்டு இருந்தப்ப, திடீர்னு கமல்கிட்டே இருந்து போன். 'பத்து ரோல். பேர் தசாவதாரம். நல்லாயிருக்கா?'னு கேட்டார். 'நிச்சயம் ஹிட்டாகும்'னு சொன்னேன். 'என்னங்க, கதையே சொல்லலை... அதுக்குள்ளே ஹிட்னு சொல்றீங்க?' என மறுபக்கத்தில் ஆச்சர்யம்! 'இல்லை சார்! நீங்க பத்து கெட்டப்! மினிமம் கேரன்ட்டி! சந்தேகமேஇல்லை'னு சொன்னேன். அடுத்த சில நாட்களில் திரும்பவும் போன். 'தசாவதாரம், பத்து கெட்டப், நீங்க நான் ஆஸ்கார் ரவிச்சந்திரன்'னு சொன்னார். அப்புறம் நான், கமல், கிரேஸி, மறைந்த சுஜாதா சார்னு எல்லாரும் உட்கார்ந்து பேசினோம். என் கண்ணெதிரே விதவிதமாக மாறி, அப்படியே புதுப்பிச்சு, புதுப்பிச்சு, படிப்படியாக வேறு உருவத்துக்கு வந்த கதை. இன்னிக்கு அந்தக் கதையை யாரோ ஒருத்தர் தன் கதைனு சொல்லும்போது, வேடிக்கையா இருக்கு. ஸ்பாட்ல இந்த ஸீன் இன்னும் சிறப்பாக வரலாம்னு சொன்னால், கமலே அதை மெருகேற்றுவார். ஷங்கருக்குப் பிரமாண்டம் கை வந்த கலை. ஆனால், இதில் கமல் செய்திருப்பது அந்தப் பிரமாண்டத்தின் வேறு வகை. படத்தில் கிராஃபிக்சுக்கு இருக்கிற முக்கியத்துவம் ரொம்பப் பெரிசு! ஒரே காட்சியில் ஐந்தாறு கெட்டப்பில் கமல் வந்து நிற்பார். உங்களால் நம்பவும் முடியாது. நம்பாமல் இருக்கவும் முடியாது. எங்களோட டிஸிப்ளின், ஈடுபாடு, கடின உழைப்பு எல்லாம் படம் ரிலீஸானதும் புரியும். எல்லாத்துக்கும் பணத்தைக் கொட்டி இன்னும் புன்னகை மாறாமல் இருக்கிற ஆஸ்கார் ரவிச்சந்திரனுக்கு வந்தனம். 'புதுசா டெக்னாலஜி என்னென்னப்பா வந்திருக்குன்னு கேட்டுட்டு நாங்க படம் பண்ணலை. எனக்கு முக்கியம் கதைதான். அதில் டெக்னாலஜி விளையாடியிருக்கு!''

''இது கமல் படமா, ரவிகுமார் படமா... பளிச்சுனு சொல்லுங்க..?''

''நல்ல திறமைசாலிகள் செய்த படமாக இருக்கும். இயக்குநராக நான் கத்துக்கிட்டது, ஒரு தேர்ந்த டெக்னீஷியனாக தன்னை அவர் பெரிய அளவில் உயர்த்திக்கிட்டது ரெண்டும் இதில் கலந்திருக்கு. நான் பார்த்த ஹாலிவுட் படங்கள், என்னோட அனுபவம் எல்லாமே அவருக்கு முன்னாடி குறைவுதான். நிறைய இடங்களில் அவர்கிட்டே ஐடியா கேட்டுக்கிட்டே இருக்கேன். அவருக்கே சந்தேகம் வந்ததுன்னா அடுத்த நிமிஷமே அமெரிக்காவுக்குப் பேசுவார். பத்து ரோல் செய்வதால் கமல்தான் அதிகம் தெரிவார். ஆனா, நிச்சயமா கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமாரும் படத்தில் தெரிவான். படம் பற்றி என்னை விசாரிக்கிற பல பேர் அடிக்கடி 'சிவாஜி'யோடு இதை ஒப்பிட்டுக் கேட்டுக்கிட்டிருக் காங்க. 'சிவாஜி'யின் பிரமாண்டம் வேறு; 'தசாவ தார'த்தின் பிரமாண்டம் வேறு! 12ம் நூற்றாண்டு, சுனாமி, அமெரிக்காவில் எடுத்த பகுதிகள்னு எது எதெல்லாம் எப்படி எப்படி இருக்கணுமோ அப்படியே அச்சு அசலா இருக்கும். வெறும் 'செட்' அசத்தல் இல்லை தசாவதாரம்! நானே படத்தைப் பத்தி ரொம்பச் சொல்லி எதிர்பார்ப்பைப் பெருக்கிட வேண்டாம்னு நினைக்கிறேன். இரண்டு வருஷம் உழைச்சிருக்கேன். 2006 மே மாதம் வேகம் எடுத்த பயணம் இது. கமலும் ரவிகுமாரும் ஏன் இவ்வளவு டைம் எடுத்துக்கிறாங்கன்னு ஒரு கேள்வி வரலாம். இதுக்கும் குறைவான நேரத்தில் நிச்சயம் இதைப் பண்ணியிருக்கமுடியாது. ஒவ்வொரு ஸீனிலும், ஷாட்டிலும், நடிப்பிலும், ஆர்வத்திலும், கடின உழைப்பிலும் என்னை விடவும் அக்கறைப்பட்டவர் ஒருத்தர் இருக்கார். அவர் கமல். மற்றபடி இது ரவிகுமார் படமா, கமல் படமானு வாதம் பண்ணவே தேவையில்லை. இது எங்க படம்!''

''அசின், மல்லிகா ஷெராவத், ஜெயப்ரதானு விதவிதமான பெண்கள். அவங்க ரோலைப் பத்திச் சொல்லுங்க?''

''ஏற்கெனவே 'வரலாறு' படத்தில் அசினோடு வொர்க் பண்ணின அனுபவம் இருந்தது. என்னையே கொஞ்சம் நடிப்பில் மிரட்டிப் பார்த்தவர் அவர். ஆனால், அந்த அளவுக்கு அவருக்கு அந்தப் படத்தில் இடம் கொடுக்க முடியலை. இதில் ஊர்வசி மாதிரி குணசித்திரமாக நடிக்க வேண்டியிருக்கும்; சரளா மாதிரி சரவெடியாக காமெடியில் பின்ன வேண்டியிருக்கும்; பழைய சாவித்திரி மாதிரி விசாலமான தரமான நடிப்பு வேணும் எல்லாத்துக்கும் சேர்த்து யோசிச்சா, ரேஸ்ல அசின்தான் முன்னே பின்னே ஆள் இல்லாம ஓடிட்டு இருந்தாங்க. 'இந்தப் பொண்ணாலே முடியுமா'னு கமல் சார் முதல்ல யோசிச்சார். நான்தான் 'நிச்சயம் அசத்துவாங்க'னு தைரியம் கொடுத்தேன். இப்ப பாருங்க, கமல் சாரே அவங்களைப் புகழ்ந்துகிட்டு இருக்கார்.

'அவ்தார் சிங்'னு ஒரு கமல் கேரக்டருக்கு ஜெயப்ரதா ஜோடி. கொஞ்ச நேரம் வந்தாலும் நல்ல கேரக்டர்! மல்லிகா ஷெராவத் மேல வடக்கே இன்னும் மயக்கம் இருக்கு. ஆனால், நாங்க அவரை இதில் நடிக்கவெச்சது, அந்த கேரக் டருக்கு அவர் கனகச்சிதமாகப் பொருந்தினதாலதான். படத்தோட முதல் பகுதியில் அவங்க இருப்ப தால், அழகான ஒரு ஆட்டமும் போட்டிருக்காங்க!''

''தசாவதாரத்துக்குப் பிறகும் கமல் எட்ட வேண்டிய உயரங்கள் எதுவும் இருக்குமா..?''

''சினிமாவைத் தவிர உரிமைனு எதையும் கொண்டாட மாட்டார் கமல். சம்பாதிச்ச பணத்தை எதில் முதலீடு செய்யலாம்னு மத்த நடிகர்கள் யோசிக்கும்போது, இவர் அதைவெச்சு அடுத்து என்ன படம், புதுசா என்ன செய்யலாம்னு யோசிப் பார். சினிமா என்பது கமலுக்கு ஐந்து வயதிலிருந்தே பழக்கப்பட்ட வாழ்க்கை. எனக்கும் உங்களை மாதிரிதான் ஒரு நாள் சந்தேகம் வந்துச்சு... 'இதுக்குப் பின்னாடி அடுத்து என்ன சார் செய் வீங்க?'னு அவர்கிட்டேயேகேட் டேன். 'வாங்க'னு கூட்டிட்டுப் போய் 'லேப் டாப்'பைத் திறந்து அடுத்த படத்துக்கான ஸ்டோரி போர்டை அழகான டிரெய்லராகக் காட்டினார். அது தான் கமல். செயல் படாம அவரால் ஒரு நாள்கூட இருக்க முடியாது!'' மலர்ந்து சிரிக்கிறார் கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார்.

Jackie Chan to meet Kamal Haasan
13 Mar 2008, 0000 hrs IST,TNN

Kamal Haasan�s penchant for experimenting, even though it sometime fails at the box office, has never deterred him from trying out something new.

Dasavathaaram, Kamal�s most ambitious project so far, shot in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu, has been under-production for over two years. The film will now see the light of the day in April. The movie, which also has sizzling Mallika Sherawat, Assin and Jaya Prada, has Kamal playing 10 unusual characters. As if the 10 faces weren�t enough, the movie will have Himesh Reshammiya scoring the music for a Tamil film for the first time. But the most important part of the marketing strategy isn�t any of the above.

Hollywood star Jackie Chan will be flying down to Chennai to meet Kamal and release the music of the film in the first week of April. Kamal, who is a martial arts fan, will certainly try to get some tips from the Kung Fu maestro. Is this because of Mallika�s connection with Jackie (remember the movie The Myth)? Of course Kamal denies it!

Kumar, there is nothing wrong in posting such articles. In fact, this is the place to discuss anything on Dasavatharam. What irked me is the way they ignore his successes and highlight the failures.
As Kamal always says, Thevar Magan and Aboorva Sagotharargal were experiments too, but they turned out to be successful and trend-setting. If he had been failing in all his experiments, he would'nt have become such a big star.

From: kumarsr on Fri Mar 14 9:44:53 2008.

What you say is very true indeed. Many media outlets (especially in the north) have a palpable bias towards Kamal.

There is nothing wrong in "sometimes failing". But that is not what they should project to prove kamal's worth since he is succeeding as well. That is equal to the failures of other actors.

What irks me to the core is the last line in that article.

Replan 2 - Diwali-2007
Replan 3 - December-2007
Replan 4 - Pongal-2008
Replan 5 - April 10-2008
Replan 6 - April 18-2008
Replan 7 - May 2008
Actual release - ???????

If my project had such a schedule overrun I wud have been thrown out of my job

Whatever be the magnitude of the movie, this failure in stickin to schedule is attributed to the inability of estimation capabilities of the crew.
Or some serious isue - like we had for VV??

If we compute the interest amount of the money invested, Dasa has to run and collect atleast 25% more that what was needed if it had released on April 2007.

Karthi,
naan oorukku poi almost 1.5 years aachu. Been postponing my trip many times just for the sake of Dasa. Have kept so much at stake for the movie its not even funny! Atleast if the freakin film releases on time, all of that will be worth it. aana ippo adhuvum illa. The worst part is this: I fail to comprehend one thing - if its going to take 'n' days/months its going to take 'n' days/months. Why doesnt Ravi ba^&u just say that and get it over with? Like August 2008, Nov 2008 or whatever? On top of that, another thing i fail to understand is the time it has taken till now. Hollywood padam kooda ivvalavu naal aguma nu doubt-a irukku. Had they known it would take this much of time would they have gone ahead? If not (they didnt estimate this much of effort), something is really wrong and nobody knows what they are doing.

That's it ! Lack of professionals. Since Kamalji has already started his next project, Post-prod. work could be one of the main reasons for the delay. And as we all know, major portion of PP work involves CG, so obviously this should have been given to the best hands in the industry !!

Though the word perfect is not perfect, it would be perfect that Dasa releases on april18 as planned. If not on april18 atleast on May1st would be more pefect.

But , it should get released by this summer.

Now since Thalaivar and KSR are out of the project who from the creative department is supervising the CG work? I hope it is not the producers that is supervising the CG work.

It is funny when the movie is not ready, there is news about Kalaignar, Rajini, Shruti having already watched the movie.

Curious to know how thalaivar feels about all these delays. I guess he was waiting for 10A to get released before officially launching Marma Yogi. He should be very disappointed as well, with the way the CG work is proceeding.

I wish the producers keep their mouth shut this time and give a date only when all the plans are final.

Kamal�s latest film Dasavataram is a different film not just because Kamal is a part of the movie.

There are other reasons as well. This high budgeted film (at a whopping sum of Rs 75 crore) has actress Asin playing a double role along with Kamal who is playing ten different characters.

For the music launch of the film, a huge set is being erected in Chennai worth Rs one crore. The audio will get released on April 2 by none-other-than action hero Jackie Chan.

The music of the film is by Himesh Reshammiya. Now, we wonder how instead of Illayaraja and AR Rahman, who have scored music for many of Kamal�s films, Himesh managed to grab this jackpot.

The film�s producer Oscar Ravi Chandran says, �The Telugu and Tamil audios are releasing simultaneously. Dasavataram is one of the most anticipated films this year.� Well, we will take your word for it, Ravi!

Dasavatharam delayed!
By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 20 March , 2008, 11:54

There was a studious silence on the Dasavatharam front for the last few days with rumours flying thick and fast that the films release scheduled on April 18 has been postponed indefinitely.

When we contacted Oscar Ravi, he said: "The audio launch to be held on April 2 has been postponed by a week to suit the convenience of Jackie Chan. Now we are looking at a May release."

Ravi refused to elaborate further. But the markets have gone into a tizzy and are saying that like Sivaji release date last year Dasavatharam too will be delayed and may release only in June.

Meanwhile Kamal Hassan is dubbing for the Hindi version of the film. Dasavatharam is said to have shaped out well and the trade sentiments is that it should release in May first week to cash in on the summer holidays.

The views expressed in the article are the author's and not of Sify.com.

Dhasavathaaram audio launch postponed

Galatta [March 20, 2008, 10:57:58 AM]

We had earlier reported that the audio launch of Kamal Haasan�s magnum opus Dhasavathaaram will take place on April 10. Now, it looks like the audio launch of Dhasavathaaram will get delayed further by 2 weeks. The audio launch will now take place on April 25. The reason for the postponement is not yet known.

Dhasavathaaram sees Kamala Haasan doing 10 roles for the first time. The film has Asin and Mallika Sherawat as the female leads. The film, produced by Oscar Movies V. Ravichandran, is directed by K.S. Ravikumar and has music by Bollywood�s hot composer Himesh Reshammiya.

Hollywood star Jackie Chan will be the chief guest for the function. In addition to Chan, many other superstars from Indian cinema including Amitabh Bachchan, Mohanlal, Chiranjeevi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan are expected to take part in the grand function.

I almost get the feeling that, CG work will be about 50% of the whole movie. Have never seen any movie, that had CG work for more than 3 months (that too by 10 different (dasavatharam??) companies doing it simultaneously).

Hope, it would be worth the wait for everyone....

Normally, I get pretty excited every time an announcment is made about any Aandavar's upcoming movie. I often start speculating with excitement the kind of character/role that Aandavar would play, the kind of genre the movie would be etc.

10A is one of those rare Aandavar movies where I didn't get excited about the movie at all till date. That too even after the movie is in the making for almost more than a year now... Not sure what is the reason for my rather unusual low key excitement about 10A. But the fact that the movie is getting further delayed due to some unexplained reasons is not helping my cause either.

��Oscar�� Venu Ravichandran - An embodiment of Worst Producer
March 21st, 2008

��Dasavatharam�� is one of the most anticipated films this year. The movie will not only see Kamal Haasan playing 10 different characters, but actress Asin also plays dual roles. Bollywood sex symbol Mallika Sherawat appears as a CIA agent, while Jayapradha, the well-known character artiste, plays another important role.

Kamal Hassan is said to have given 10 different variations to his voice while dubbing for the characters he plays and heroine actor Asin has also dubbed for her role for the first time. The film, earlier perceived as a possible comedy, is said to have become a completely performance-oriented script. With veteran actor Nagesh, who has performed with Kamal in many of his comedies, including ��Avvai Shanmugi�� and ��Panchathantiram��, playing a role in the film, the audience may be surprised by an interesting comedy track. Actors Napolean, Mallika Sherawat, Jayapradha and Rekha, and directors P. Vasu and Ramesh Khanna are among t he other actors.

Kamal Hassan has paid attention to the action sequences that have been choreographed by U.S.-based Joop Katana and Andy Dixon, apart from Kanal Kannan and others. Sony BMG has forayed into the Tamil music market by acquiring the music rights of this film. The film also marks Himesh Reshammiya��s debut in Tamil cinema. He has composed the music for Dasavatharam.

Hollywood actor Jackie Chan will launch the audio cassette of Kamal Hassan��s much-awaited Tamil film ��Dasavatharam,�� and other important personalities of Bollywood, Kollywood, Tollywood and Mollywood will be present on the occasion of the audio launch. The audio launch of this film will take place in the last week of April. It is also learnt that the film release is also postponed.

Well, these are the common things we have been looking through in each and every media channels as the headlines of tinsel town.

Oscar V Ravichandran has been proving himself as the worst producer in Kollywood with his idiotic acts. And now we bring you some of the exclusive morsels that has been hiding behind the delayed release of Dasavatharam.

With Kamal Haasan and K.S. Ravikumar striving with all their efforts in bringing out their best in Dasavatharam, producers V. Ravichandran and his brother Ramesh Babu has working in contrast.

1. It has been revealed that with the film getting planned to be released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, Kamal Haasan has dubbed only for Tamil.

2. Sony Music that has purchased the audio rights of the movie is completely disappointed with the fact that till now only 50,000 CDs are in order.

3. V.Ravichandran who exported the flick for computer generated graphic works to Germany hasn��t got the output. When approached them, they have replied they can get it completed only in the month of June.

4. The main cause for the delay of audio release is because that Jackie Chan has refused to fly Chennai during the first week of April, but at the month end. Apart from this, Ravichandran has paid Rs. 5 Crores as remuneration for Jackie Chan to get him here in Chennai to release the audio. The most funny part here is Kamal Haasan who has strived with all might in 10 different roles has been paid only 10 Crores and remember a man without effort getting half the amount.

5. Ravichandran has never discussed about any of the issue of audio release and film��s release date with Kamal Haasan and that��s a great insult�K

If none of the film involved (producer, director & the lead actor) is openly coming out with the reasons for the delay, these things are inevitable. More so for a mega movie like 10A. Absolutely bemused to know that a producer of Oscar's calibre is doing this. May be this is part of his shrewdness!!.

கமல் - ஒரு சகாப்தம்

கமல் - இந்த மூன்றெழுத்துப் பெயருக்கு பின்னால் தான் எத்துனை விஷயங்கள் உள்ளன. ஒரு குழந்தை நட்சத்திரமாக அறிமுகமாகி, நடன இயக்குனராக பொருப்பேற்று, துனை நடிகராகி, கதா நாயகனாக பதவி உயர்வு பெற்று இன்று உலக நாயகனாக இருக்கிறார். அவரின் இத்தகைய படிப்படியான வளர்ச்சிக்கு பின்னால் இருக்கும் அவரது உழைப்பை என்னால் உணர முடிகிறது. இன்றும் அவர் ஒவ்வொரு படம் வெளியிடுவதற்கும் பல தடைகளை கடக்க வேண்டி இருக்கிறது.

தனக்கு தெரியாத அரசியலில் பங்கு கொள்ளாமல் தனக்கு நன்கு தெரிந்த நடிப்புத் தொழிலில் கவனம் செலுத்துபவர். தயாரிபாளர்களின் பணத்தை தண்ணீராய் செலவழிக்கும் நடிகர்களிடையே தனது சோதனை முயற்சிகளையெல்லாம் தனது சொந்த செலவிலேயே செய்பவர். தான் சம்பாதித்த பணம் அனைத்தையும் சினிமாவிலேயே முதலீடு செய்பவர். இன்றும் வாடகை வீட்டில் குடி இருப்பவர். சினிமாவில் மட்டுமில்லாமல் வெளி உலகிலும் உத்தமர் வேஷம் போடும் நடிகர்களிடையே வெளி வேஷம் போடத் தெரியாத நடிகர். தான் இப்படித்தான் என்று நேர்மையாக உரைக்கும் தீரம் கொண்டவர். இப்படி பல அவரை பற்றி சொல்லிக்கொண்டே போகலாம்.

சிறு வயதிலிருந்து அவரது பல படங்களை பார்த்து ரசித்தவன் நான். அவ்வாறு நான் ரசித்த படங்களை இங்கே தொகுத்து வழங்கி உள்ளேன்.

அபூர்வ ராகங்கள் (1975) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

பெயருக்கேற்ற படி அபூர்வமான கதை. முரண்பாடான உறவுகளையும் அதனால் ஏற்படக்கூடிய விளைவுகளையும் பற்றியது. பாலசந்தர் என்றாலே பிறர் தொட அஞ்சும் கதைக் களத்தை தன் கையில் எடுப்பவர் என்பதை மீண்டும் ஒரு முறை உண்மையாக்கிய படம்.

மன்மத லீலை (1976) இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

கமல் பெண்ணாசை பிடித்தவனாக நடித்த படம். 'பாலசந்தர் டச்' என்று பரவலாக கூறப்படுவது அதிகம் உள்ள படம். விரஸமான கதையை விரஸமில்லாமல் பாலசந்தரால் மட்டுமே கூற முடியும் என்று எடுத்துக் காட்டிய படம்.

16 வயதினிலே (1977) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. பாரதிராஜா

தமிழ்சினிமா உலகை புரட்டிப்போட்ட ஒரு திரைப்படம். கிராமம் என்றால் பச்சை பசேல் என்று பசுமையாக, பணக்கார நாட்டாமையின் கட்டுப்பாட்டில் இருக்கும் என்ற தமிழ் சினிமாவின் வரையறையை உடைத்தெறிந்து தமிழ்நாட்டு கிராமங்களின் உண்மை நிலையை மக்களுக்கு காட்டி அவர்களை அதிர்ச்சியில் ஆழ்த்திய படம். பாரதிராஜா, இளையராஜா, கமல், ரஜினி, ஸ்ரீ தேவி, கவுண்டமணி போன்ற அனைவருக்கும் புகழ் சேர்த்த படம். வில்லன் 'டேய்!' என்று திட்டி விட்டாலே தனது 'இமேஜ்' போய்விடும் என்று பயப்படும் இன்றைய கதாநாயகர்கள் வெட்கி தலைகுனியும் விதம், காதல் இளவரசனாகவும், கல்லூரிப் பெண்களின் ஆதர்ச நாயகனாகவும் இருந்த காலகட்டத்தில் தனது 'இமேஜ்' பற்றிய பயமில்லாமல் கதைக்கு தேவையானதால் ஒரு புதிய இயக்குனரின் (பாரதிராஜா) சொல் கேட்டு கோவணத்துடன் நடிக்க தயங்காத கமலின் செயல் பாராட்டத்தக்கது.

நிழல் நிஜமாகிறது (1978) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

ஒரே ஒரு படம் 100 நாள் ஒடிவிட்டாலே அடுத்த ரஜினி நான் தான் என்று நினைத்துக் கொண்டு இயக்குனர்களையும், தயாரிப்பாளர்களையும் பீதியில் ஆழ்த்தி அவர்கள் வயிற்றில் புளியை கரைக்கும் இன்றைய இம்சை அரச நாயகர்களிடையே (வடிவேலுவை சொல்லவில்லை), 16 வயதினிலே என்ற வெள்ளிவிழா படத்தை அடுத்து தனக்கு துளியும் முக்கியத்துவம் இல்லாத கதையில் நடித்ததற்காகவே கமலை பாராட்டலாம். பாலசந்தர் உடைத்தெறிந்த தமிழ் சினிமாவின் எத்தனையோ வரையறைகளில் ஒன்று,

"ஒருவனால் கற்பழிக்கப்பட்ட பெண் ஒன்று தற்கொலை செய்து கொள்ள வேண்டும், இல்லை அவனையே திருமணம் செய்து கொள்ள வேண்டும்."

ஷோபாவை சுற்றியே பின்னப்பட்ட கமலுக்கு சிறிதும் முக்கியத்துவம் இல்லாத அருமையான கதை.

மரோசரித்ரா (1978 - தெலுங்கு) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

இப்படம் சென்னையில் ஒரு வருடம் ஓடி சாதனை படைத்தது. காதலுக்கு தடையாக இப்படத்தில் இயக்குனர் கையில் எடுத்திருப்பது மொழியை. தமிழ் பேசும் ஒருவனும், தெலுங்கு பேசும் ஒருத்தியும் காதலிப்பதால் வரும் விளைவுகளே படத்தின் கதை. இப்படம் 'ஏக் தூஜே கேலியே' என்ற பெயரில் ஹிந்தியில் மொழி மாற்றம் செய்யப்பட்டு அங்கும் பெரு வெற்றி பெற்றது.

சிகப்பு ரோஜாக்கள் (1978) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. பாரதிராஜா

கிராமத்து இயக்குனர் என்று முத்திரை குத்தப்பட்ட பாரதிராஜாவின் பெட்டகத்திலிருந்து வந்த ஒரு 'ஸைக்கோ திரில்லர்'. தான் காதலித்து திருமணம் செய்து கொண்டவன் ஒரு ஸைக்கோ என்பதை அறிந்த உடன் ஸ்ரீ தேவியின் நடிப்பு, உயிர் மேல் உள்ள பயத்தினை அவர் காட்டிய விதம் அனைத்தும் பாராட்டப்பட வேண்டியவை.

அவள் அப்படித்தான் (1978) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.C.ருத்ரையா

ஜெயகாந்தனின் கதை. நாவலை இதுவரை படிக்காத காரணத்தினாலோ என்னவோ எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த படம். தமிழ் சினிமா தலையில் தூக்கி வைத்து ஆடும் பெண் கற்பு நிலையை இடது காலால் உடைத்த படம். படத்தின் வசனங்கள் ஒவ்வொன்றும் சாட்டையடிகள்.

பெண் விடுதலை பேசிக்கொண்டே பெண்ணுறிமை-பெண் விடுதலை என்றால் என்னவென்றே தெரியாத பெண்ணை திருமணம் செய்யும் நாயகனாக கமல், இருமுறை காதலித்து, கற்பிழந்த நாயகியாக ஸ்ரீ பிரியா. அட்டகாசமான படம்.

நினைத்தாலே இனிக்கும் (1979) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

பின்னர் வேறு வேறு பெயர்களில் பல முறை படமாக்க பட்டுவிட்ட கதை. நோயினால் பாதிக்கப்படும் கதா நாயகி. இசைக் கலைஞன் நாயகன். நாயகனின் நன்பன். இவர்களை சுற்றி பின்னப்பட்ட கதை. படம் பார்த்தவர்களால் மறக்க முடியாதது 'சம்போ சிவ சம்போ' கதா பாத்திரம் தான். ரஜினி, கமல் இருவருக்குமே சம்பளம் குறைவாக கிடைப்பதால், இனி இருவரும் தனித்தனியே நடிப்பது என்று முடிவு செய்தது இப்படத்தில் நடிக்கும் போது தான். சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் உருவாக அடித்தளம் இட்டது இப்படம் தான்.

வறுமையின் நிறம் சிகப்பு (1980) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

1980 களில் இந்தியாவில் தலைவிரித்தாடிய தீண்டாமை, பெண்ணடிமை, வேலையில்லா திண்டாட்டம் போன்றவற்றை அடிப்படையாக கொண்டு பின்னப்பட்ட திரைக்கதை. வேலையில்லா பட்டதாரிகளான மூன்று இளைஞர்கள். மூவரும் எவ்வாறு அவர்களின் வேலையில்லா திண்டாட்டத்தை எதிர் கொள்கிறார்கள் என்பது கதை. எக்குலத்தில் பிறப்பதும் உயர்வல்ல, எத்தொழில் செய்வதும் இழிவல்ல என்ற அருமையான கருத்தை கூறும் கதை.

மீண்டும் கோகிலா (1981) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. G.N.ரங்கராஜன்

மனைவிக்கு துரோகம் செய்யும் நாயகனின் கதை. அழகான மனைவியை விட்டு நடிகை மீது ஆசைப்படும் நாயகனாக கமல். அவரது மனைவியாக ஸ்ரீ தேவி. நடிகையாக தீபா. அழகான கதை; அருமையான பாத்திரப் படைப்பு.

ராஜ பார்வை (1981) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. சிங்கீதம் ஸ்ரீனிவாசராவ்

இது கமலின் 100வது படம். முதல் தயாரிப்பு. பார்வையற்ற ஒரு வயலின் கலைஞனின் கதை. தனது சொந்த தயாரிப்பினாலோ என்னவோ, இதற்கு முன் நாம் பார்த்திராத கமலை இதில் பார்க்கலாம். பார்வையற்ற மனிதராகவே வாழ்ந்து காட்டி இருப்பார். நெஞ்சை தொடும் உருக்கமான கதை.

மூன்றாம் பிறை (1982) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. பாலு மகேந்திரா

கமலுக்கு தேசிய விருதை வாங்கி கொடுத்த படம். படம் முழுதும் ஸ்ரீ தேவியின் தான் நடிப்பில் ராணி என்று நிரூபித்து காட்ட, இறுதியில் ஒரே காட்சியில் கமல், தான் நடிப்பில் ராஜா அல்ல சக்கரவர்த்தி என்று பரைசாற்றிய படம்.

ஸிம்லா ஸ்பெஷல் (1982) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. V. ஸ்ரீனிவாசன்

கமல் முதன் முதலில் நடித்த முழு நீள நகைச்சுவை படம். நாடக கலைஞர்களின் வாழ்க்கையை நகைச்சுவையாக சொல்லும் படம். கமல், S. Ve. சேகர், ஸ்ரீ பிரியா மூவரும் நகைச்சுவை நடிப்பில் ஒருவருக்கொருவர் சளைத்தவர்கள் இல்லை என்பதை நிரூபித்த படம்.

சாகர சங்கமம் (1983 - தெலுங்கு) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.விஷ்வநாத்

அருமையான ஒரு இசைக் காவியம். நடனத்தையே தனது உயிர் மூச்சாக கொண்ட ஏழை நாயகனுக்கும் நடனத்தை நேசிக்கும் விதவை நாயகிக்கும் இடையில் பூக்கும் காதலை அழகாக கூறிய படம். படம் பார்க்கும் அனைவரையும் அழ வைக்கும் இறுதிக் காட்சி. (தமிழில் : சலங்கை ஒலி)

ஸ்வாதி முத்யம் (1986 - தெலுங்கு) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.விஷ்வநாத்

ஒரு வயதான மனிதனின் கடைசி கால கட்டத்தில் அவனால் அசைப்போடப்படும் அவனது இறந்த கால வாழ்க்கை, அவனது காதல். ஸைக்கோவாக சிகப்பு ரோஜாக்களில் நடித்து நம்மை பயமுறுத்திய கமல் இதில் மனநலம் குன்றியவனாக. (தமிழில் : சிப்பிக்குள் முத்து)

புன்னகை மன்னன் (1986) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கே.பாலசந்தர்

கமல் இரட்டை வேடத்தில் நடித்த படம். இரட்டை வேடமென்றால் இருவரையும் வேறுபடுத்திக் காட்ட ஒருவருக்கு சிகப்பு சட்டையும் மற்றொருவருக்கு கருப்பு சட்டையும் தந்த காலத்தில், காதல் தோல்வியால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட நடன ஆசிரியராகவும், சாப்ளின் செல்லப்பாவாகவும் இரு வேறு பாத்திரங்களில் வந்து இரட்டை வேடங்களை இப்படியும் வெளிப்படுத்தலாம் என்று கட்டிய படம். ஈழத் தமிழர்களின் பிரச்சனை, தற்கொலை எதிர்ப்பு போன்றவற்றை மேலோட்டமாக தொட்டு செல்லும் படம்.

நாயகன் (1987) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.மணிரத்னம்

உலகின் தலை சிறந்த படங்களுள் ஒன்று. கமலுக்கு இரண்டாம் முறை தேசிய விருது அளித்த படம். அவர் வேலு நாயக்கராக வாழ்ந்து காட்டிய படம். தமிழகத்தின் முதல்வராக இருந்த புரட்சித் தலைவர் திரு. M. G. ராமசந்திரன் அவர்கள் தாம் இயற்கை எய்தும் முன்பு பல முறை பார்த்து ரசித்த படம். (ஒருவரை மரணப் படுக்கையில் மகிழ்விப்பதை காட்டிலும் சிறந்த செயல் வேறு உண்டா?)

பேசும் படம் (1987) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. சிங்கீதம் ஸ்ரீனிவாசராவ்

கமலின் மற்றுமொரு புதிய முயற்சி. வசனமே இல்லாத படம். கதை ஒன்றும் புதிது இல்லை என்றாலும்; காதல், சோகம், பழி, நகைச்சுவை போன்ற பலவற்றை வசனமே இல்லாமலும் வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும் என்று கமல் நிரூபித்த படம்.

சத்யா (1988) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. சுரேஷ் கிருஷ்ணா

பொதுவாகவே சில இயக்குனர்களின் முதல் படத்தை பார்த்தீர்களானால் மற்ற இயக்குனர்களின் படத்திலிருந்து மாறுபட்டு சிறப்பாக இருக்கும். அப்படங்களை பார்த்தால் அது ஒரு புதிய இயக்குனர் இயக்கிய படம் என்று நம்மால் நம்பவே முடியாது. சாதிக்க வேண்டும் என்ற வெறியுடன் சிறு வயதிலிருந்து அவர்களின் மனதில் பலமுறை அசைபோடப்பட்ட கதையை அவர்கள் படமாக்குவது அதற்கு ஒரு காரணம் என்று நான் நினைக்கிறேன்.

இதற்கு ஒரு நல்ல எடுத்துக்காட்டு சத்யா.

ஊழல் செய்யும் அரசியல்வாதிகளை அழிக்கும் நாயகன் என்ற அரதப்பழசான கதையை காட்சிக்கு காட்சி புதுமை கலந்து அளித்திருப்பார்கள் கமலும், சுரேஷ் கிருஷ்ணாவும்.

அபூர்வ சகோதரர்கள் (1989) - இயக்குனர் : திரு. சிங்கீதம் ஸ்ரீனிவாசராவ்

இதுவும் அப்பாவைக் கொன்ற வில்லன்களை பதிவாங்கும் பழைய கதை. புதுமை என்னவென்றால், இரு கமலுக்கும் உள்ள வித்தியாசமே. தமிழ் சினிமா தொழில்நுட்பம் வளராத அன்றைய கால கட்டங்களில், காலை மடக்கி, குழிக்குள் அமர்ந்து குள்ள அப்புவை உருவாக்கிய கமலை பாராட்ட வேண்டியது அவசியம். படத்தின் திருப்புமுனை காட்சியில் இளையராஜாவின் பின்னனி இசை அவர் ஒரு இசைஞாணி என்று பரைசாற்றியது.

மைக்கேல் மதன காமராஜன் (1990) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.சிங்கீதம் ஸ்ரீனிவாசராவ்

கமல் நான்கு வேடங்களில் நடித்த முழு நீள நகைச்சுவை படம். தமிழ் சினிமாவின் சிறந்த நகைச்சுவை படங்களுள் ஒன்று. கிரேஸி மோகனின் வசனங்கள் படத்தின் வெற்றிக்கு முதல் காரணம். இரட்டை அர்த்த வசனங்கள் இல்லாத, குழந்தைகளும் ரசிக்க கூடிய நகைச்சுவை. நட்சத்திரப் பட்டாளமே நமக்கு கிச்சு கிச்சு மூட்டினாலும் நம்மை அதிகம் கவர்வது காமேஷ்வரன், அவிநாசி மற்றும் பீம்பாய் மூவரும் தான்.

குணா (1991) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.சந்தானபாரதி

கமல் மனநிலை குன்றியவனாக நடித்த மற்றுமொரு படம். கமல் சமீபத்திய இருவேறு பேட்டிகளில் இப்படத்திற்கு 'மதிகெட்டான் சோலை' என்று பெயர் வைக்க தமிழ் சினிமாவின் சந்தை இடம் கொடுக்கவில்லை என்றும், காதல் கொண்டேன் பார்த்துவிட்டு குணாவிற்கு இப்படி ஒரு climax வைக்காமல் விட்டுவிட்டேனே என்றும் ஆதங்கப் பட்டார்.

படுதோல்வி அடைந்த ஒரு சிறந்த படம் என்பதை தவிர இப்படத்தை பற்றி சொல்ல வேறு ஒன்றும் இல்லை.

தேவர் மகன் (1992) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.பரதன்

தமிழ் சினிமாவின் நடிப்புலக சக்கரவர்த்திகள் இருவர் இனைந்து நடித்த படம். இப்படம் பற்றி கமல் கூறுகையில், சிவாஜியைத் தவிர வேறு யார் நடித்திருந்தாலும் இப்படம் தேவர் மகன் அல்ல வெறும் மகன் தான் என்று குறிப்பிட்டார். அதை நான் வழி மொழிகிறேன். ஒருபடத்தின் வெற்றியில் கதைக்கு எத்துனை பங்கு உண்டோ அதே சதவிகித பங்கு கதாபாத்திர தேர்வுக்கும் உண்டு.

இப்படத்தின் பெரும் வெற்றியில் பங்கு கதாபாத்திரங்களுக்கு ஏற்றவாரு நடிக நடிகையரை தேர்வு செய்த கமலுக்கு உண்டு.

மகாநதி (1994) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.சந்தானபாரதி

கமல் நடித்த 200க்கும் மேற்பட்ட படங்களில் எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த ஒரே ஒரு நல்ல படத்தை சொல்ல சொல்லி யாராவது கேட்டால் நான் யோசிக்காமல் சொல்வேன் மகாநதி என்று. அப்பாவி கிராமத்து குடும்பஸ்தனாக, சிறைக் கைதியாக, ஏமாற்றப்பட்ட ஒரு தொழிலதிபராக, மனைவியை இழந்த ஒரு கணவனாக, குழந்தைகளை இழந்த ஒரு தந்தையாக, பழிவாங்க துடிக்கும் ஒரு சராசரி மனிதனாக இப்படி பல்வேறு பரிமாணங்களில் வந்து கமல் அசத்திய படம். கொச்சின் ஹனிஃபாவின் வில்லத்தனமும் மிகவும் பாராட்டத்தக்கது.

சென்னை, மார்ச். 25-

கமல் பத்து வேடங்களில் நடிக்கும் தசாவதாரம் படம் நாடெங்கும் பலத்த எதிர் பார்ப்பை கிளப்பியுள்ளது. ஹாலிவுட் படங்களுக்கு சவால் விடும் வகையில் காட்சிகளும் கமலின் வித்தியாசமான வேடங்களும் உருவாக்கப்பட் டுள்ளன. கே.எஸ்.ரவிக்குமார் இயக்குகிறார். படப்பிடிப்பு முடிந்து கிராபிக்ஸ் பணிகள் நடக்கின்றன.

பாடல் கேசட் வெளியீட்டு விழாவையும் பிரமாண்டமாக நடத்த ஏற்பாடுகள் நடக் கிறது. இவ் விழாவுக்கு நடிகர் ஜாக்கிஷானை அழைத் துள்ளனர். அமிதாப்பச்சன், சிரஞ்சீவி, மம்முட்டி உள்ளிட்ட இந்திய முன்னணி நடிகர்களும் பங்கேற்கிறார்கள். இதற்கிடையில் தசாவதாரம் படத்தில் தமிழக அரசியல் தலைவர்கள் தோன்றும் வகை யில் சில காட்சிகளை சேர்க்க முயற்சி நடக்கிறது.

கமலின் பத்து வேடங்களில் ஒரு வேடம் விஞ்ஞானி. இக் கேரக்டரில் நடிக்கும் கமல் புதிய கண்டு பிடிப்பை உல குக்கு அறிமுகம் செய்கிறார். இதற்காக அவருக்கு சென்னை சேப்பாக்கம் மைதானத்தில் அமெரிக்கா ஜனாதிபதி ஜார்ஜ்புஷ் முன்னிலையில் பாராட்டு விழா நடப்பது போலவும் அதில் முதல்-அமைச்சர் கருணாநிதி பங்கேற்பது போல வும் காட்சிகள் இணைக் கப்படுகின்றன.

ஜெயலலிதா ஒரு கமலுடன் ஹெலிகாப்டரில் வந்து இறங் குவது போன்ற காட்சியை இணைக்கவும் ஏற்பாடுகள் நடக்கின்றன. இவற்றை எப்படிகாட் சிகளாக எடுத்து சேர்க்கிறார்கள் என்பது ரகசியமாக வைக் கப்பட்டுள்ளது. விடுதலை சிறுத்தைகள் இயக்க தலைவர் திருமாவளவன் அனல் பறக்கும் மேடைபேச்சும் இப் படத்தில் இடம்பெறுகிறது.

சதி லீலாவதி (1995) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.பாலு மகேந்திரா

கமல் கோவை சக்திவேல் கவுண்டராக நகைச்சுவையில் பின்னியெடுத்த படம். கமல், கோவை சரளா, கல்பனா, ரமேஷ் அரவிந்த், ஹீரா அனைவருமே சிறப்பாக நடித்திருப்பது பாராட்டப்பட வேண்டியது.

குருதிப் புனல் (1995) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.P.C.ஸ்ரீ ராம்

கமல் போலீஸ் அதிகாரியாக நடித்த படம். வன்முறை சற்று அதிகம் என்றாலும் கதை மற்றும் திரைக்கதை முற்றிலும் வித்தியாசமானது. பாடல்களே இல்லாததும் ஒரு புதுமை. கமல் மற்றும் கௌதமி இருவருக்குமிடையே chemistry இப்படத்தில் work out ஆனது போல், வேறு எந்த நாயக நாயகிக்கும் தமிழ் சினிமாவில் work out ஆனது இல்லை.

இந்தியன் (1996) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.ஷங்கர்

லஞ்ச ஒழிப்பை மூலமாக கொண்ட படம். லஞ்சத்தினால் பாதிக்கப்பட்ட ஒரு சுதந்திரப் போராட்ட வீரர் இரண்டாம் முறை போராட்டத்தில் குதித்து லஞ்சத்தை ஒழிக்க பாடுபடுவதே கதை. கமலுக்கு மூன்றாம் முறை தேசிய விருது வாங்கிக் கொடுத்த படம். தமிழ் சினிமாவில் இரட்டை வேடங்களில் பல புதுமைகளை செய்யத் தொடங்கியது இப்படத்திற்கு பிறகு தான்.

அவ்வை சண்முகி (1996) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.K.S.ரவிகுமார்

97ல் வெளிவந்திருந்தால் கமலுக்கு நான்காம் முறை தேசிய விருதை வாங்கிக் கொடுத்திருக்கும். 96ல் கமல் இந்தியனுக்கு தேசிய விருது வாங்க கடும் போட்டியாக இருந்தது இப்படம். சட்டபூர்வமாக விவாகரத்து செய்யப்பட்ட கணவன், மனைவி மற்றும் அவர்களின் குழந்தை இம்மூவருக்குமிடையே நடக்கும் கதை. நகைச்சுவையாக சொல்ல முற்பட்டாலும் கதையின் கருத்து மிகவும் serious ஆனது.

ஹே ராம் (2000) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.கமலஹாசன்

மகாத்மாவின் மீது பலருக்கு பல விமர்சனங்கள் இருந்த போதிலும் அவர் தேசப்பிதா என்பது மாற்ற முடியாதது. அவரின் கொலையை மையமாக வைத்து கமல் முதல் முறையாக இயக்கிய படம். சாகேத் ராமின் மனைவி கொடூரமாக கற்பழிக்கப்படும் காட்சியாகட்டும், அவரின் நன்பன் கொடூரமாக கொலை செய்யப்படும் காட்சியாகட்டும் நம்மை 50 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன்னர் கொண்டு சென்று விடுகின்றன. படத்தை பார்த்து விட்டு மகாத்மாவின் சிலையை பார்க்கும் போது, 'இந்தியா ஒரு அஹிம்சை நாடு' என்று பெரியவர்கள் கூறுவதை கேட்டுத்தான் அவர் புன்னகைக்கிறாரோ என்று தோன்றுகிறது.

அன்பே சிவம் (2003) - இயக்குனர் : திரு.சுந்தர் C.

மகாநதிக்கு அடுத்து கமல் நடித்த படங்களில் எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்தது அன்பே சிவம். கமல், மாதவன் இருவரின் நடிப்பு, ஒரு காதல் தோற்றதும் மறு காதலை இயல்பாய் தேடும் நாயகி, கம்யூனிஸ சிந்தனைகள் என்று பரவலாக பல நல்ல விஷயங்கள் உள்ள படம். தெருக்கூத்துக் கலையை அழகாக கையான்டிருப்பதும் மற்றுமொரு சிறப்பு.

நான் மேலே குறிப்பிட்டுள்ளது எனக்கு மிகவும் பிடித்த கமல் நடித்த 30 திரைப்படங்களை பற்றிய எனது கருத்தே ஆகும். அப்படங்களின் விமர்சனங்கள் இல்லை. இதை படிக்கும் பொழுது கமலின் பல சிறந்த படங்களை நான் விட்டு விட்டதை நீங்கள் உணரலாம்.

அரங்கேற்றம், சொல்லத்தான் நினைக்கிறேன், அவர்கள், இளமை ஊஞ்சலாடுகிறது, அழியாத கோலங்கள், டிக் டிக் டிக், உல்லாச பறவைகள், உயர்ந்த உள்ளம், உன்னால் முடியும் தம்பி, வெற்றி விழா..... இப்படி சொல்லிக் கொண்டே போகலாம் வேட்டையாடு விளையாடு வரை. ஆனால் என்ன செய்வது? பதிவு எழுதத் தொடங்கும் முன்பு சிறந்த 10 படங்களை மட்டுமே குறிப்பிட முடிவு செய்தேன். அது 30 ஆகி விட்டது.

நான் மேற்கூறிய படங்களை நன்கு கவனித்தீர்களானால் கமலின் திரைத்துரை வாழ்க்கை மூன்றாக பிறிந்து இருப்பதை காணலாம்.

1. ராஜ பார்வைக்கு முன்

இக்கால கட்டத்தில் அவர் நல்ல இயக்குனர்கள் இயக்கிய சில நல்ல படங்களில் நடித்தார். அவ்வளவுதான். இப்படங்களில் வேறு யார் நடித்திருந்தாலும் படங்கள் நன்றாகவே இருந்திருக்கும். அப்படங்களுக்கு கமல் தேவை இல்லை. ஆனாலும் அவ்வியக்குனர்களின் முதல் தேர்வாக கமல் இருந்ததற்கு அவரை நாம் பாராட்ட வேண்டும்.

2. ராஜ பார்வைக்கு பின்; நாயகனுக்கு முன்

இக்கால கட்டத்தில் தனக்கு பொருத்தமான படங்களை தேர்வு செய்து நடிப்பதில் அவர் சற்று பின்தங்கினார் என்று தான் கூற வேண்டும். 100வது படமான ராஜ பார்வையிலிருந்து 170வது படமான நாயகன் வரை அவர் நடித்த 70 படங்களில் அவரால் விரல் விட்டு எண்ணக்கூடிய நல்ல படங்களையே தர முடிந்தது. இதற்கு கமல் மீது மட்டுமே நாம் குற்றம் சாட்டுவது தவறு. கமலின் இந்த பின்தங்கலுக்கு ராஜ பார்வையை படுதோல்வி அடைய செய்து சகலகலா வல்லவனையும், தூங்காதே தம்பி தூங்காதேவையும் வெள்ளிவிழா காண வைத்த தமிழ் ரசிகமணிகளும் முக்கிய காரணம். 'Survival Fear' என்பது இக்கால கட்டத்தில் கமலுக்கு அதிகம் இருந்திருக்க வேண்டும் என்று தான் நான் நினைக்கிறேன்.

3. நாயகனுக்கு பின்

இக்கால கட்டத்தில்தான் நாம் கமலின் விஸ்வரூபத்தை கண்டோம். காதல் இளவரசன் கமலஹாசனாக இருந்தவர், பத்மஸ்ரீ, உலக நாயகன், கலைஞாணி, டாக்டர் கமலஹாசனாக மாறியது இக்கால கட்டத்தில்தான். DTS, Digital Film Making, Digital Live Sound Recording, Make-Up ல் புதுமை போன்ற பல புதுமைகளை தமிழ் சினிமாவிற்கு அவர் அறிமுகப்படுத்தியதும் இக்கால கட்டத்தில் தான்.

இதோ அவரின் தசாவதாரத்தை அவரின் ரசிகர்கள் ஆவலுடன் எதிர்பார்த்துக் கொண்டிருக்கிறார்கள்....

Jackie Chan�s arrival costs five and half crore?
IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, March 25, 2008]

The confusion over the much awaited �Dasavadharam� audio release ceases to end. The date of release might get postponed further due to the change in the date of the international star Jackie Chan�s arrival. It is said that the release date will be fixed according to his availability.

Dasavadharam Gallery

Dasavadharam Gallery

Besides the postponement drama, the high profile guest�s presence in the function proves to be a costly affair for the producers. It is said that his honorarium for attending the function, transportation expenses, security arrangement, and other expenses would come up to Rs five and half crores.

But producer Oscar Ravichandran is unperturbed. He is gearing up to conduct the function in a grand manner without bothering about the expenses. The sources close to the producer say that the release date is yet to be decided, as the IPL cricket matches to be held in April. The IPL matches are scheduled to be played between April 18 and June 1. So we can assume that Dasavadharam audio release to be held before April 18.

Can we expect the audio to be released on Tamil New Year�s Day?

Top politicos make cameo appearances in Dasavatharam

It doesn�t get bigger than this; Kamal Haasan�s magnum opus Dasavatharam, which is being directed by K. S. Ravi Kumar and produced by Oscar Ravichandran, is pulling all stops in its quest to becoming the most talked about film for a long time. Beginning with the audio release, which is to be presided over by none other than Asian martial arts legend Jackie Chan, the film has now added another feather to its cap, or in this case, two feathers. The film will feature two of Tamil Nadu�s biggest politicians in cameo appearances � M. Karunanidhi, the reigning CM and former CM J. Jayalalithaa.

The film has Kamal taking up 10 different avatars - one of them being a scientist. According to the scene, Kamal Haasan�s scientist is being felicitated for his new discovery by the United States President George W. Bush, which incidentally is being played by Kamal himself. The felicitation ceremony takes place at Chepauk Grounds in Chennai, as the scientist is a native of Tamil Nadu.

After conceptualising the story, Kamal and Ravichandran felt that it would be apt to include Mr Karunanidhi as part of the scene. According to sources, after Kamal approached the CM, the latter gave him his approval of making a cameo in the film as he considered himself as a member of the same fraternity. But Kamal wasn�t satisfied with this alone. He wanted to rope in yet another celebrity and a woman of high stature, in this case former Chief Minster Jayalalithaa. According to the shot, she would accompany the scientist in a helicopter and descend on the dais. Both scenes were canned quietly by the crew and edited as well.

Apart from the two politicians, DPI leader Thirumavalavan also makes an appearance in the film. �The scene where he makes a revolutionary speech will create a stir in the audiences,� says a unit hand.
Insiders reveal that this is the first time a film unit has been given permission to shoot an aerial view of Chennai; the earlier two occasions being a filming after India�s independence and the other for a documentary by the BBC crew.

When I was in my native few weeks back, I discussed on 10A with my uncles One thing was sure.. They are expecting a movie like AVVAI SHANMUGI when it comes to makeup. Athavathu Kamalnnae theriyaama.

One of my uncles commented with his face glittering
Uncle :"Unakku theriyumaa...

Uncle : "dasavathaaran shooting la thalaivar ah paarka avanga ponnu vanthuchaam.. athaala kooda kandupudikka mudiyalaayaam.. thalaivarah

one side, negative news are coming, onother side, sudden surprises like politicos are appearing in movie. atleast one should be genuine. if oscar has time to feed this news to media, why not he open up on relase date???

News on the scenes or story on forthcoming movies are not necessarily be true.

Other than that, If true, who knows he might have used it to against Thiruma.

More over it is cinema. Kamal is not doing any favor to him. Even if there is a favor there is a chance both gets benefitted to some extent. If there is any real difficult situation to Thiruma and at that time Kamal does some favor people can appreciate.

Once manorama talked against rajini .Later rajini gave a character to manorama in his movie and everybody praised rajini for that .

Btw, I am not surprised by your dislike Thirumavalavan ..Most of the people just know Thiruma as a caste based politician ,nothing more about him . That is so-called mentality.

1. Looks like same incident but big difference is there. Thiruma is not full time actor nor he depends on movies. But Manorama is.! At that time many were not interested in booking Manorama, hence basically her income gets affected and when Rajini booked Manorama, it is definitely a favor but in this case it is not.

2. A Politial Figure is judjed based on his political activities only. That is not people's fault. BTW this is out of topic

Quote:

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu chief minister M Karunanidhi and AIADMK leader J Jayalalithaa may never share a dais in real life, but actor Kamal Haasan appears to have made it happen in the reel.

In his new film, Dasavatharam , in which the actor plays ten characters, is a scene showing the two political rivals together, albeit with generous help from computer graphics.

According to sources, Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa appear on the screen when US president George W Bush (played by Kamal) confers an award on an Indian scientist, played, of course, by Kamal.

The Dasavatharam team pulled off the coup largely because of Kamal's proximity to Karunanidhi. Insiders say Karunanidhi was filmed at his residence in blue-matt format, where he is shot against a blue background which could be later transformed into the required scene with the help of computer graphics.

For good measure, an 85-year-old actor, dressed up to resemble Karunanidhi, replicated the scene, as a fall back option to the blue matt. As Jayalalithaa was not available for a blue-matt shoot, the crew used file shots of the AIADMK leader visiting tsunami-hit areas in a helicopter to be added to the Karunanidhi scene, with her permission. Both Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa trace their political roots to the Tamil film industry.

'Dasavatharam' to beat 'Om Shanti Om'
Bollywood films 'Om Shanti Om' and the recent hit 'Jodhaa-Akbar' share the record for the maximum number of prints, the record being just over 1000.

Now, it�s Kamal Hassan�s magnum opus �Dasavatharam� that has overtaken the Bollywood biggies. It would have more that 1,500 prints in Tamil and other languages put together.

Kamal Hassan�s fans will be assured that they would have more than 1500 movie halls to choose from across the world to watch their favourite star in action!

Maddy,
I think we discussed the same thing the other day. In the case of Dasa,
1. The very script is a logistical nightmare and because it is KH-KSR, they could wrap it up within this time. Initially the budget was nowhere near what it is now. It grew to what it is today later. Kudos to Ravi for that
2. Second, Dasa has no precedent, certainly not in India. idhu dhaan mudhal paadhai (padam nalla vandhirukka illayanu paatha dhaan theriyum adhu adutha vishayam). idhukku time edukkama edhukku time edukkum?
3. The delay was more of a post-production delay, not delay in *shooting* or in terms of reshooting and wasting film rolls. Even in shooting the delays would have been due to logistics
4. CG - For obvious reasons!
However, the questions of estimation still remains.

And moreover, Shankar delay panradhum idhuvum onnu illa. Dont get me wrong, this holds good for Indian or Boys or any other film of his..
road a paint adikkardhu, sappa scene-a "perfection" word a pottu abuse panradhu etc..

[Add "If im not wrong" to the above mentioned points]

Or to put it simply, had Shankar been in charge of a film like Dasa, imagine when he would be completing it

�Himesh was a business choice�

Kamal Hassan gets candid about Dasavatharam, Rajnikant and Himesh Reshammiya

Kunal M Shah

Was it difficult to play ten roles in Dasavatharam?
It has been done before. We have just added a number. Haribhai (Sanjeev Kumar) has played nine roles in a film, which was originally done by Shivajisaab in Tamil as Navratri. So we took it from there but we didn't want to do a remake. I came up with an original idea and storyline. I started talking to a few directors and then I found K S Ravikumar and he believed in it. I guess after that everything fell in place.

It took a long time to conceive?
The basic thing was that all of us, especially the director and I, had to decide to concentrate on just this film and we were ready to face the lack of averages. We both could have done four films each in these two years instead of Dasavatharam, but I must say that it was quite rewarding. The producer is already assured of making twice the money he has spent in Tamil Nadu itself and that's quite an achievement.

It is said to be the costliest film in Tamil Nadu.
Yes it is the costliest film in the Tamil film industry. It has already managed to break even. I just hope that now it lives up to the expectation of audiences. It is a costly film as its stars, music director and the director are being paid a lot. The best part is that the producer was smiling at the start of the film and he still is smiling when it's complete - which is very rare.

What are the ten different roles that you are playing?
(Laughs). It is like asking a magician what's behind your hand. The ten different roles are the USP of the film and I would not like to spoil the fun by answering this question. The only thing that I can tell you is that it is a global film, probably not the first in the country, but truly global. It not only crosses geographical borders but also timelines. It goes back to 12th century and even goes forward without confusing the audiences. It does not pretend to be cerebral and gives you a lot of entertainment.

Your last two Hindi films have not done well here. Are you confident of this film's success?
It has already made its money. So it has already crossed the danger line and that's why I said that everybody is smiling which is very rare.

A. R. Rahman walked out of the film.
He did not walk out of the film but he could not spend time on the film. He could not give us time, and we could not wait any longer and had to make a choice. So, we looked around and since we also had a Hindi film in mind, we went to Himesh Reshammiya. It was just a business choice and when you see the film, you will know that it works for us. I must say that Himesh did surprise me in the first music sitting itself.

You were not very confident of Himesh earlier.
It's not that I looked down upon him but yes, I wouldn't have agreed to him doing the music at an earlier point. But he gave us what we wanted and that too in a very short time. I have no complaints now, whatsoever.

You could have gone to your old associate Illayraja.
It was a business decision by the producer and I had no say in it.

A still from Dasavatharam
There is always this talk about a war between you and Rajnikant over who is supreme in the South industry.
(Laughs) We decided to wage this war when we were very young. We always meet and take each other's opinion about each other's work. We give advice to each other too - though we don't necessarily follow it. I always tell him what I am going to do next. So does he. We work like a team.

Does that mean you do not compete with each other?
Of course we do, but I respect his work and he respects me for what I am. We are competitors. But we don't have any animosity between us and if it ever creeps in, we see to it that it does not continue for long. Whenever we have a misunderstanding, we clear it and don't let it fester.

Is your relationship governed by the fact that you both share the same godfather in K. Balchandran?
Yes, that's true. It is as if we both went to the same college. We both are just one phone call away from each other and we always have a quick conversation and never let ego come between us in any way.

But does it pressurise you when his film and your film are up for release together - as in the case of Sivaji and Dasavatharam this time?
I guess the media plays it up. I think I play cricket and he plays football. It is not even the same field. We may be in the same arena but we play two different games.

Jackie Chan is coming down for the music release of the film?
The producer Oscar is an old friend of Jackie and it is because of him that Jackie is coming down.

There were talks that the producer had to spend Rs 2 crore because Mallika Sherawat didn't get a US visa at the last minute.
No, it was not because of her visa. It was because our schedule went haywire in Malaysia and we didn't know about it. We had to shift the whole shoot to US, but I guess these things happen.

Coming back to Rajnikant, there are talks that you both will be doing a film together soon?
We have been talking about that for 25 years now but I don't see it happening in the near future. We would love to do it but it's not possible.

Why?
It would be too costly to have us both in one film. Imagine spending the budget of the biggest Hindi film on just two stars' payment. I think it would be completely unfair.

But Mani Ratnam had a project for you two.
It was not for both of us acting together, but for one producing and one acting. Rajnikant and I act together? If Rajnikant and I act together what will be left to make the film with?

Your daughter Shruti is all set to make her debut in Hindi film industry.
She is talking about it and I don't know what decision she is going to take. She has been asking for scripts and looking at various banners and is waiting for the right project.

Do you advice her since you have been part of the Hindi film industry for a long time?
No, I don't give advice. I didn't like too much of advice as an youth myself. At the end of the day it's her own decision.

You have signed Hema Malini for your next film. Tell us more about the film.
Yes, I have signed her for the film. All I can say right now is that it's a period film set in the 7th century. It will be a bi-lingual in Hindi and Tamil and I am writing the entire script in Tamil and Atul Tiwari is writing it in Hindi. Rahman will score the music.

Do you keep in touch with your old friends from Bollywood?
Yes I do. In fact last week, I met Rishi Kapoor and his son. I love meeting them provided they have the time. I always keep track of Hindi films and watch them regularly.

Lastly, what do you think went wrong with your career here in Hindi film industry?
Nothing at all. I didn't work in too many films in the first place and when I did, they did well. I chose to go back to doing Tamil films as things were better there. Now is the right time to come back and those who choose to come back never really go away�

From Orkut: Dasavatharam is a big Budget movie produced by Oscar Ravichandran, with Kamal donning 10 roles and is directed by K. S. Ravikumar. The audio release of the movie was scheduled for April 2nd, but is now post-poned to the 25th of April.

Jackie Chan will be releasing the first copy of Audio in the Nehru Indoor Stadium, Chennai. Vijay, Chiranjeevi will be among the top film personalities sharing the stage with Kamal Haasan. The stage is being designed similar to that of the Oscar Awards ceremony. The whole unit is putting in its effort for this regard.

A scene showing a furious sea (Tsunami) was filmed in a 2 acres land near Uthandi, a coastal village. The Computer Graphics work for this scene is going on in Hong Kong. The VA Company which did the Graphics work for the Hollywood movie 'The Day After Tomorrow' is doing the work for this scene.

The movie is expected to release in May.

I heard that Mahesh Babu will be attending, not sure about Chiranjeevi...

This is one important point which every filmmaker should make a note of it. Certain Audience expect intelligent movie but most of the audiences are for 3 hours of entertainment and hope 10A gives that, though I prefer intelligent movies to not so intelligent movies.

Today's Madras Plus of ET (sorry Bala) carries an interview with KSR. Could not reproduce here as the online edition is not available. KSR talks about the movie and he says that

3 hours movie out of which CG are there for 2 1/2 hrs.

Extensive research has been gone into before shooting the 12th century episode.

No CGs with Politicians. Only their clippings are being included.

Mallika Sherawat is popular for what? That's why she is there.

There are 5 songs plus there is one remix. Himesh half way down the movie was not fully concentrating as he is into acting now. He told KSR it seems that this will be his last movie as a music director.
No dream song and no duet between Kamal and Asin.

Before the film hits the screen, I would have watched 1000 times.This is for making it perfect.

He appeares in a song which praises the Hero.

Comedy is through dialogues,visuals and facial expressions.

He had signed off saying that it was a thrill to start and stop tsunami with the click of the fingers.

He has three projects lined up with Sarath, Vikram and Surya.

Regards

Another one with Kamal. I wonder why they don't ask more about his film but waste time with other personal questions. But anyways, here it is:

http://www.mid-day.com/web/guest/entertainment/bollywood/article?_EXT_5_articleId=1061194&_EXT_5_groupId=14

Kamal Haasan�s in a tearing hurry
Author: Shaheen Parkar Date: 28 Mar 2008
Yet the actor, who was in town yesterday, found time to talk about his upcoming films and more�

Telling It Like It Is: Kamal Haasan.

Kamal Haasan whizzed through Mumbai yesterday to promote his next project Dasavatharam (made in Tamil, Hindi and Telugu) in which he features in 10 different looks, each of which requires hours of painstaking make-up to make it to the record books.

Directed by K S Ravikumar, the film is slated for a May-end release . Penned by Haasan as well, it stars South actress Asin and Mallika Sherawat.

Despite back-to-back interviews and a flight to catch to Chennai, Haasan is as earnest about his answers as his approach to his roles�

You�ve spent more time in the make-up room
than facing the camera for the film?
It would take me at least four to five hours to get the make-up on for the various characters. Once the look was complete, I would have to can the scenes non-stop before the make-up would start wearing off. As a result, there was not a single moment to waste for anyone in the unit. In fact, if I had spent as many hours in the cockpit as I did applying the make-up, I would have learnt to fly!

The film has created enough buzz during its filming about the changes in cast (Vidya Balan, Shriya Saran), music (A R Rahman) as well as the logistics involved.
As the film�s dimensions are huge, it involves a lot of people over a period of time. There are so many aspects to it as we have shot the film in US, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand besides Chennai. In a huge project, there are many things at work before it takes final shape. The film is a full-on commercial fantasy moving back and forth in time from the 12th century to 2008.

How was it working with a temperamental actress like Mallika Sherawat?
Is she? I didn�t see this shade of her at all as there was no time for any such stuff we would be shooting continuously thanks to my elaborate get-ups.

Your elder daughter Shruti is following in your footsteps?
I only gave my daughters a name, and if they could have their way at that time they would have chosen them too. I did not even tell them what religion to follow. I have lived on my own terms, so I can�t impose anything on them. What careers they pursue are entirely their calling. The only thing I tell them is to take care of their health. I tell them to exercise and keep fit it is very important for everyone. And it is difficult for me to get Shruti even on her toes!

Are there any plans to make a film with her?
Why not, I�d love to do a film with her. My younger daughter Akshara is young; she is still in school. But at the moment, there are no such plans. My daughters live with me and when we are together, they talk about cinema. They make fun of me after seeing my old films; they really wonder about some of the stuff I�ve done. I have an extensive library with books on all subjects so we also read a lot. As Shruti is into music in a big way, we also talk about music.

Are you in touch with your ex-wife Sarika?
No, there is no contact between us.

Have you seen her much-acclaimed performance in Rahul Dholakia�s Parzania?
I have just seen bits of the film.

She�s doing Shoojit Sarkar�s film with Amitabh Bachchan?
I have heard about it.

There has been a lot of speculation on your relationship with Telugu actress Gautami?
I won�t say anything on this front; people can continue to say what they want.

Why aren�t you seen more often in B-Town?
There are offers but producers here tell me the project rolls in three months at such short notice I can�t do them as I have other commitments. At the moment, there is a film with Walt Disney Productions and Bharat Bala. I am also in the pre-production of my next venture that I will write, direct and act in.

Amarshiva, Thanks for the clarification. Now I get is this is what DM tried to convey.

From: Murali Srinivas on Fri Mar 28 14:19:38 2008.

Bala,

One thing, I forgot to mention. There was a still depicting Kamal in the 12th century get up (Rangaraja Nambi as per Karthi) with the kudumi and Panniru Thiruman ( the colloquial "Namam" which the Vaishnavaites sport on their forehead and body). Behind him a idol could be seen partly and from the looks of it, it resembles the legs of Lord Vishnu in the "sayana kolam". It is almost like Lord Ranganatha of Srirangam. It is not clear from the photo whether Kamal is standing before it tied with the idol or trying to lift it.

Regards

<<Dig>> Bala, as long as Ram and Malini Parthasarathy continue to be there, it will remain as a Chinese National newspaper. As you said, I also continue to have the same feeling towards Hindu.

There used to be a talk that Hindu and TOI have an unwritten understanding that TOI will not enter Chennai and Hindu will reciprocate by not venturing into Mumbai. It was like that till now. we have to see whether Hindu will now step into Munbai turf.

From: Cinefan on Sat Mar 29 4:19:17 2008.

Ippove thundu pottuda vendiyathuthaan. For some reason I am more excited about MY than Dasa.

Same here but on second thoughts,isn't this a blessing for 10A.Imagine die hard Kamal fans not very excited about the film&going in with very low expectations.It's exactly what a film of the scale of 10A needs.

My gut feeling is,10A will rock at the BO&will surprise us with it's content.

MY will be more the Kamal kind of movie,i hope you get what i mean.

From: Thirumaran on Sat Mar 29 4:27:25 2008.

I just wonder, MY is going to be a historical movie and looks like a bigger budject movie than 10V. If at all he gets people and money for producing for these movies why Marudhanayagam is still not taken for revival Is the budject Kamal calculates for MN is much much bigger than these 2 movies (10V and MY)

I am sure that is the case. If my memory serves right, KH had estimated a whopping 100c for MN even back in 1998. You can imagine how much bigger the budget would have become for that movie. But I think, KH is in the right track and if everything goes well(success of 10A followed by MY), we may be blessed to see MN revival.

A TSUNAMI OF TEN
KS Ravikumar in an exclusive interview on his magnum opus Dasavatharam
mamta todi

The film seems to be taking forever to hit the screens. Speculation and rumours about the film are rife. Do you think this will be a setback for the film when it actually releases? No, I don't think so. Rumours are something none of us can stop. My audience knows why the film is getting delayed. The three hours movie here comprises of at least 2� hours of CG(computer graphics) which is taking time. Even my previous movie Godfather with Ajith in a triple role had only 15 minutes of graphics. But here (in Dasavatharam) the key is in bringing all the characters together in the same frame, all delivered by one person.
How is this film unique when compared to your earlier directorial ventures? Budget-wise the film is ten times higher than any film I have done before. Cast-wise too, I have worked here with more North-Indian and foreign technicians. The film is to be released in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously, so I need to get inputs from the perspective of those languages. Technicians from Hollywood were involved. Upto 40-45 people had come from the US and they trained our local technicians. The different equipment for all the action sequences and special frames were put together here. I used to communicate with these people through my assistant directors as language could be a big issue. For the visual effects I had Bryan from Los Angeles. He has become almost South-Indian now! He can't live without Idly-Vada-Pongal.
What are the high-points of your direction here? Can you highlight shots which you have detailed closely? I think I have worked a great deal to put the entire film together. The previous movies I directed, I used to watch them at least ten times before they hit the theatres. I have watched every frame (a one second shot comprises 24 frames) of this film almost a 1,000 times to bring in the harmony between scenes. If one frame has 3-4 characters then it would mean that I'll have to shoot the background separately and the characters separately, and ensure that when the audience see it on the screen, it all comes together cohesively. Apart from that I have also monitored the dubbing of this movie very closely, something which I have not done for any of my films before. So when the film hits the screens Ravikumar, would have watched the movie 1,000 times already. The 12th century sequence was extensively researched before we shot it. The audience has to accept the reality of that shot and hence the research became important.
How was the rapport between Himmesh Reshammiya and you? Himesh has not done the music score for the film. He has composed five songs and remixed one. All was well when we started with the first three songs of the film but later, Himesh was into pursuing his own career as an actor - and music direction took a backseat for him. At that time he had told me that Dasavatharam will be the last movie he'll compose music for.
What made you choose Mallika Sherawat and how significant is her role in the movie? What is Mallika popular for? That's why she is there in the movie. She is doing a song as well as a small sequence.
How did you have the biggest politicos do a cameo for you? That is not fully true. If they (the politicians) had been doing cameos for me, that news would have been out when the film was being shot. We have only inserted some clippings featuring them, to make for a more realistic appeal in some scenes. What has been written are just rumours and false information that must have been leaked by one of the crew members, who don't know what exactly we are doing.
The film then is grand in scope? The film's grandeur comes from the perfection we have tried to achieve in every shot. It's not about huge sets and big budgets. Every song in the film is grand. There are no dream songs, no duets between Kamal and Asin. The film's grandeur is in its content.
Directing Rajnikanth or Kamal Hassan, which is more difficult? Direction in itself is a tough task and directing these bigger stars is tougher. Both are unique in their own right. Rajni has mass appeal and Kamal has class. They are senior to me and have more experience. I have sat in theatres and watched their movies and clapped and whistled for their performances. To direct them, I have to become their fan to bring out their potential - as their fans would like to see them.
What kind of cameo appearance are you doing in the film? I am appearing in a song singing praises of the male lead. I have decided from my experience in previous movies that I'll not make an appearance in a negative role which abuses the star. Audiences are not appreciative of a director abusing his own star. I didn't want that to happen again, so this cameo is different.
You are known for comedy in your films. What can the audience expect in this film? Comedy is very much a part of the film. It manifests through three characters - in one through dialogues, in the second through visuals, and in the third through facial expressions.
Your memorable experience in this venture? In my films I have brought on rain and stopped it with a click of my fingers. In this film I have brought and stopped an entire tsunami!
Your next projects? I have three different projects - with Sarath Kumar, Vikram and Suriya.

Die hard Aandavar fans on the field have never been more excited about any movie like they've been for 10A. P.S: Agree on the point though - i.e, expectation-a kammiya irundha bonus dhaan

What I meant was:Less expectation compared to MY. At the end of the day MY is by KH,obviously die hard Kamal fans would be more keen to watch his script&direction weave magic on screen.

Personally too I am more excited by MY but doesn't mean i am cold on the 10A front.

A film like 10A needs to be low key on the hype front but high on the marketing side.It's actually a contradiction&very difficult to get the balance right.

Till now Sir&co have got the first one right,lets see how they fare on the marketing front.

Also heard that some clippings from 10A were screened in the kannada news channel TV9 yesterday night.My team guy was raving about it a little while earlier,anybody saw it?

It was supposedly a news item on the Karunanidhi-Jayalalitha political rivalry&how for a change both of them appear in a film together.

He said it was a clipping where a near naked Kamal(tribal)takes on a bull by it's horns( literally).

He was so amazed that he could not put everything he saw in words.Just said it was too good&if the film in entirety is like this then it's a blockbuster.

from orkut

if u look carefully, the shanku and chakra tattoos are also in the wrong shoulders, proper srivaishnavas have the chakram tattooed to the right shoulder and the shanku tattooed to the left shoulder!!

inference?? ET lay out artists have reverse printed the photograph or "flipped" the image horizontally to bring the symmetry to the page (or else it will look like thalai is turning his head away from "mottai boss")

)
all hardcore aandavar fans by now would be familiar with almighty's broken tooth on left upper jaw, right??

now see in this photograph!

the tooth broken is actually in RIGHT upper jaw!

this proves beyond doubts that the image has been horizontally flipped and almighty hasnt goofed up wearing the poonal the wrong way.

I dont think the figure is around 100C. If my memory serves me right in that one of SUN Television - telephonic interview which happened in 2001 Kamal answered a question on MN for which a fan asked :

Fan : Eppo sir MN eduka poreenga?
KH : Adhu enna sir oru 40 crores iruntha edutharalam.

Quote:

Dasavaratham, supposedly the most expensive film made in the South of India so far, has brought Kamal Hasan to Mumbai on post-production work.

Otherwise the city, and Bollywood, remain out of bounds for the South biggie. He prefers to stay put in Chennai, with partner Gauthami and daughters Shruti and Shaya, where he enjoys demi-god status. "Dasavaratham is a step ahead and a challenge that I have thrown to myself," Kamal told BT. "I am not masquerading in different garbs though I play ten different people in the film."

Ten roles, isn�t he increasingly becoming self-indulgent in his films? "Who isn�t," asked Kamal defensively. "Aren�t great actors like Yusuf saab and Amitabh self-indulgent? Who else should I love more than me? Brad Pitt?" There�s talk of South India getting him and the legendary Rajnikanth together in a film. Kamal laughed, "It would have to be either him or me in the script. Our remunerations would be a huge blow to the producer. Why would anyone spend so much on two actors when they can make many more films with that money? Unless Rajnikanth and I agree to work for free and later take the trade collection, I don�t see it happening. But, yes, it will be interesting to work together."

People believe that Bollywood never really gave Kamal Hasan his due, but the actor said his failure in Hindi cinema was because the films he did took time to complete. "But I make occasional appearances here when I want to reach out to larger audience. It�s a different story in Tamil Nadu. There a film sells on my name alone," said the actor. Dasavaratham apart, life is also looking good for Kamal Hasan after his broken marriage; now his daughters are grown up and he, too, has moved into a new relationship. Is he in touch with ex-wife Sarika? "A broken marriage isn�t an offence or crime. Today I am happy, yes, but my idea of being settled is only inside the coffin. Till then everything is mobile. I am not in touch with Sarika. I remember the past, but I don�t miss it."

'Dasavadharam': Incredible Kamal
IndiaGlitz [Monday, March 31, 2008]

Kamal Haasan has once again proved that he is a rare kind of artiste who leaves no stones unturned when it comes to novelty on screen.

Everyone knows that Kamal Haasan dons ten different roles in �Dasavadharam�, directed by K.S. Ravikumar. But few would have known how much pains he has taken to handle so much of roles.

Each and every role demanded a lot of hard work and pain to the actor, informs Anil Pemgirikar, the co-make up artist. "For example, for the role of a 98 year old lady, the makeup process consumed eight hours per day. We shot for 45 days for this scene. But, you know, the scene runs only for fifteen minutes in the film�, says Anil.

Similarly, informs Anil, Kamal watched all possible clippings of President George W. Bush for the scene featuring him and the unit shot the scene for 60 days. The screen time for the scene is just seven minutes.

Kamal�s makeup process used to go up to 8-9 hours daily. The actor used to wake up at three o� clock in the morning to start the process. "But the shooting would last for only for an hour, as the make up would peel off after an hour", Anil explains. �Kamal underwent a lot of pain while the makeup was taken off. He also had a lot of skin allergies. But the actor was unperturbed and raring to go�, says Anil with lot of admiration towards the actor.

Kamal�s efforts received applause from none other than his friend Rajinikanth. The Superstar came to sets one day and witnessed the proceedings. He was so impressed that he spontaneously clapped in absolute fascination, recalls Anil.

Meanwhile, following Jackie Chan�s confirmation on his arrival, the date of �Dasavadharam� audio release is finalized (on April 25). Kamal Haasan is all praise for the producer Oscar Ravichandran for his whole hearted cooperation. According to Kamal, the film is arguably the costliest film ever made in India.

Coming to the post production works, four reels have been completed with rerecording and special effects work. It took nearly four weeks as opposed to the normal period of one week for these works. Though Himesh Reshammiya scores the music, it is Devi Sri Prasad, who does the rerecording.

'Dasavatharam': Directorial Tasks
IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, April 02, 2008]

Kamal Haasan�s �Dasavadharam�, which is expected to be a different experience on celluloid for the fans, critics and the general public, has been a unique experience for the director as well. K.S. Ravikumar, who has handled almost all the leading stars in the field and has given number of hits in his career, feels that nothing would match �Dasavadharam� in its grandeur and novelty.

Budget wise, the film is ten times higher than any film K.S. Ravikumar has done so far. Cast wise, the film demands working with more North Indian and foreign technicians. Since the film is to be released in Hindi and Telugu simultaneously, he needs to get inputs from the perspective of those languages.

As far as technicians are concerned, the film has roped in many technicians from Hollywood. Around 45 persons came from the US and they trained our local technicians, inform the director. For the action sequences, different equipments and special frames were used.

Bryan from Los Angeles was brought in for the visual effects of the movie. Ravikumar says that Bryan has almost become like a South Indian now. �He can't live without Idly, Vada, and Pongal�, he adds with laugh.

isnt it good that Oscar postponed the release? now that all tamil movies are banned in Karnataka.. Bangalore being one of Thalaivar's citadels, if Dasa is released on April 10th, as per the original schedule, the collections might get affected badly. remember what happened to VR MBBS in bangalore?

for VRMBBS nothing big bad thing happened.

the situation is calm in most parts and only in some parts(where problems occur regularly) like rajajinagar ect, and mostly problems occur in orl areas of bangalore. tamil movies ban is the ONLy thing happening overall the city.

for office goers, nothing problematic in daily life...

even when problems persist during dasa release, i guess kamal has a soft corner here(rama shama bama is also one reason ) he has a good original kannadiga fan base itself ans so dasa will not be highly seen as a ban material.

Sakala, Karnataka imposed a ban on all tamil movies few yrs back. It was during this time that VR mbbs got released & there wasnt a parallel release in bangalore. This ban was lifted in about 2 weeks time but it was too late already. (IMO) due to this delay the release was low-key sans galatta.
Please correct me if im wrong.

These problems should get resolved within few weeks. Normally such Bans dont last long. Hope by the end of April, all tamil movies will have a parallel release in Karnataka.
However, even if the problems persist, we have an edge over others, as Dasa has a Telugu and a Hindi version too, which can be released in Bengaluru..

'Dasavadharam': Spellbinding stunts!
IndiaGlitz [Thursday, April 03, 2008]

Well every day there is a new story coming out on the 'Dasavadharam' front, so much so that we have almost lost track of the highlights that the film has. This time around we have some interesting news for you regarding the stunt sequences and how it was choreographed.

Andrew Dixon a stunt choreographer has been working on the stunt sequences for 'Dasavadharam' and he has helped in getting some hair-raising stunts done for this film. 'Dasavadharam' features some first-of-its-kind stunts in the film.

We had earlier brought you news about a tsunami scene involved in the film, Andrew claims that such kind of attempts have not been tried before in the history of Indian films.

'Dasavadharam' also features some dare-devils stunt by the hero as well as Asin and Mallika Sherawat. Kamal has reportedly performed a dare-devil jump from a building without proper safe-landing measures.

Now listening to all these performances don't you feel like watching the film one the first day first show basis?

கமலஹாசன் நடிக்கும் `தசாவதாரம்,' தமிழ் சினிமாவின் மைல் கல்லாக இருக்கும் என்று எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.

இந்த படத்தை கே.எஸ்.ரவிகுமார் டைரக்டு செய்கிறார். ஆஸ்கார் பிலிம்ஸ் வி.ரவிச்சந்திரன் தயாரிக்கிறார். படத்தில், பத்து அவதாரங்களில் ஒரு அவதாரமாக பாடகர் அவதாரம் எடுத்திருக்கிறார், கமலஹாசன்.

உலகப் புகழ்பெற்ற பாடகராக அவர் மேடையில் தோன்றிப் பாடும் பாடலை கவிஞர் வைரமுத்து எழுதியிருக்கிறார்.

இசையும், பாட்டு வரிகளும் கவனிக்கப்படுவது மாதிரி இசையமைத்திருக்கிறார், ஹிமேஷ் ரேஷமையா.

பல்லாயிரக்கணக்கான மக்கள் மத்தியில், பிரமாண்டமாக போடப்பட்ட அரங்கில் கமலஹாசன் பாடிய இந்த பாடலை, ஒளிப்பதிவாளர் ரவிவர்மா ஹெலிகாப்டர் வைத்து படமாக்கினார்.

படப்பிடிப்புக்கு வந்த கூட்டம், பாடலில் மயங்கி ஆட ஆரம்பித்தார்கள். ஆட்டம் போடவைத்த அந்த பாடல் வரிகள் வருமாறு:-

காட்டை திறக்கும் சாவிதான் காற்று

காதைத் திறக்கும் சாவிதான் பாட்டு

பாட்டு உன் காதுகளில் தேனை வார்க்கும்

பாட்டு உன் கண்களில் நீரை வார்க்கும்

உடல் பூமிக்கே போகட்டும்

இசை பூமியை ஆளட்டும்

நீ என்பதை-பொல்லாத

நான் என்பதை-ஒன்றாக்கி

நாம் செய்வது பாடல்தான்

யார் நெஞ்சிலும்-மிருகத்தின்

தோல் உள்ளது-அதை மாற்றி

ஆள் செய்வது பாடல்தான்

கடவுளும் கந்தசாமியும்

பேசிக்கொள்ளும் மொழி பாடல்தான்

மண்ணில் நாம் வாழ்கிற காலம் கொஞ்சம்

வாழ்வில் உன் சுவடுகள் எங்கே மிஞ்சும்

எண்ணிப் பாரடா மானுடா

என்னோடு நீ பாடடா...

சென்னை: எனக்கு ரஜினியும் வேண்டும். கும்ப்ளேவும் வேண்டும். வைரமுத்துவும் வேண்டும், குல்ஸாரும் வேண்டும். எனவே இருதரப்பு சகோதரர்களும் மோதிக் கொள்ளும் சூழ்நிலை, தமிழகத்திலும், கர்நாடகத்திலும் உருவாகி விடக் கூடாது என்று நடிகர் கமல்ஹாசன் கூறியுள்ளார்.

சென்னை உண்ணாவிரதத்தில் கமல்ஹாசன் பேசுகையில், இங்கு கூடியிருக்கும் கலையுலக சகோதரர்களுக்கும், பெங்களூரில் எதிர் கூட்டம் நடத்திக் கொண்டிருக்கும் சகோதரர்களுக்கும் வணக்கம்.

காவிரி தோன்றுவதற்கு முன்பு தோன்றிய மனிதர்களைப் போல நாம் பேசிக் கொண்டிருப்பது ஆச்சரியமாக இருக்கிறது. கிட்டத்தட்ட குரங்குகள் உருவில் நாம் எல்லாம் நதிக் கரையில் தண்ணீர் குடித்துக் கொண்டிருப்பதைப் போன்ற பிரமை எனக்கு.

கடந்து வந்த தண்ணீரை அவர்கள் கேட்கிறார்கள். அதைத் திருப்பி எடுத்துக் கொண்டு போக முடியாது. அவர்களுடைய வாதத்தில் பெரிய அர்த்தம் இருப்பதாக எனக்குத் தெரியவில்லை.

அதேசமயம் நாம் கோபத்தை அதிகம் பயன்படுத்தக் கூடாது என்பது எனது வேண்டுகோள். இது 11 பேர் சேர்ந்து விளையாடும் கிரிக்கெட் ஆட்டம் இல்லை. 100 கோடி மக்கள் சேர்ந்து விளையாடும் சமுதாய விளையாட்டு.

இதில் எனக்கு ரஜினியும் வேண்டும். கும்ப்ளேவும் வேண்டும். நீங்களும் வேண்டும், சத்யராஜும் வேண்டும். வைரமுத்துவும் வேண்டும், குல்ஸாரும் வேண்டும்.

குனிந்து கொண்டே இருந்தால் குதிரை ஏறத்தான் செய்வார்கள் என்று நாம் பயப்படத் தேவையில்லை. நாம் எழுந்திரித்தால் அவர்கள் விழுந்து விடுவார்கள். எனவே பயப்பட வேண்டாம.

இங்கு செய்தி சேகரிக்க வந்திருக்கும் உளவுத்துறையினர் சொல்லும் இடத்துக்கு சேதிகளை சரியாக கொண்டு செல்ல வேண்டும். திரித்துக் கூறக் கூடாது என்று வைரமுத்து சொன்னார். அதை நானும் முன்மொழிகிறேன்.

குறிப்பாக கர்நாடகத்திற்குக் கொண்டு செல்லும் சேதிகளை கவனத்துடன் கொண்டு செல்லுங்கள், திரித்துக் கூறாதீர்கள் என்று நானும் கேட்டுக் கொள்கிறேன்.

எனக்கு பல விஷயங்களில் நம்பிக்கை இல்லை. அதுபோலவே கத்தி எடு, வாள் எடு என்பதிலும் நம்பிக்கை இல்லை. தாய்மை உணர்வு நமக்கு வேண்டும். பெண்ணுறுப்பு இருந்தால்தான் தாய்மை உணர்வு வரும் என்றில்லை.

தேவன் மகன் படத்தில் ஒரு வசனம் வரும், ஆத்தி, நான் கொடுத்த பாலெல்லாம் ரத்தமா ஓடுதே என்பார் ஒரு தாய். அதுபோன்ற சூழ்நிலை இரு தரப்பிலும் வரக் கூடாது என்று கேட்டுக் கொண்டு விடைபெறுகிறேன் என்றார் கமல்.

KH ( as usual). I am not quite surprised with the speech. I could almost predict this based on DM's post. I felt as if kamal and rajini exchanged what they were about to speak int he function The reason why I feel so is : Generally, rajini will be very diplomatic and indicate the fact that many people are in Karnataka and indicate that the speeches should not add fuel to the fire.

This time, it is quite good to see KH deliveirng it. (esp to people like mansoor).

Some of the stuff Sathyaraj was saying is absolutely true...You got an Indian government that is helping Sri Lankan Army kill innocent tamils...he is the only guy that had the guts to speak the truth...I just feel that there is some kind of conspiracy here...the Lanka issue was heating up in Tamil nadu and next thing you know the water issue becomes a bigger issue...Its almost as if the Central Government made the water dispute crop up to cool down the Lankan Tamil issue....

I am not sure what you guys are taking exception to. I read Satyaraj's speech at tamilcinema.com and there is nothing indecent in it.

First he gave back at Vijayakumar for unnecessarily using the forum for praising Rajini and then he gave a hard hitting speech against Karnataka. He is right in his own way. Though you can call as provocative I don't see anything indecent in it.

I am not aware if he said something that was not published in news media.

Quote:

Dhasavathaaram - A visual extravaganza
Oscar Ravichandran and K.S. Ravikumar's magnum opus Dhasavathaaram promises to be a milestone in the history of Tamil Cinema. The film, starring Ulaga Nayagan Kamal Haasan in ten different avataars and Asin in a double role, is touted to be one-of-its-kind cinema experiences.

Beisde the fact that there are ten Kamals in the film, the entire graphics and special effects in the film are said to be world-class. Oscar-nominated Brian Jennings is handling the SFX for the film. Brian Jennings has worked on films like Exorcist: The Beginning, Scary Movie, Father of the Bride Part II, Mortal Kombat, Vampire In Brooklyn and Mindhunters. He was nominated for an Oscar for his short animation film Technological Threat which he directed.

Talking about his experience while working on the film, he said, "I came here to shoot an American film at Ramoji Film City. I met Kamal and K.S. Ravikumar through one of the film crew guys there. Kamal is very smart, a perfectionist. Kamal and K.S. Ravikumar liked the work I showed them. I never had any issues with them. We have all worked towards making things better, looking for constant improvement. Technically, the film was challenging, especially since we had 10 Kamals in the film. Even though the actor is only one, the logistics are for 10, no two characters can be physically present in one scene."

The same sentiments were echoed by Ravikumar. He said that he watched every frame of the film almost 1000 times. As most of the scenes required more than one of Kamal Haasan characters to be on screen, it was important that there was proper coordination between all the shots taken with each of the characters, when viewed as one scene. He has also been involved with dubbing of this film.

Dasavatharam audio on April 25?

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 14 April , 2008, 10:52

It�s almost confirmed that Kamal Hassan�s eagerly awaited Dasavatharam will have its audio release on Friday April 25. As planned earlier it will be a big bash at Nehru Indoor stadium in Chennai, where leading stars from Bollywood, Tollywood and Malluwood are expected to take part.

The news that Jackie Chan would be coming for the launch, is yet to be confirmed. The buzz is that he is asking for a special chartered flight from Hong Kong to Chennai and back, entire top floor of a five star hotel in Chennai to accommodate his entourage which includes his personal bodyguards. All this would cost upwards of one million US dollars (Rs 4.5 crore).

But Oscar Ravichandran is still talking about Chan participating in the event, as it has become a prestige issue with him. Added to that, unless the audio is released, the film cannot make it to the theatres in May. The latest release date tossed around in the trade is May 23.

The D-day is fast approaching. Come 25 April, the audio launch of the magnum-opus �Dasavadharam� would be launched with great hype and hoopla.

The audio launch to be held at a private hotel in Chennai will have Jackie Chan, prominent artistes from South Indian film industry taking part.

Buzz is that a song Ulaganayaganae, penned by lyricist Vairamuthu featuring Kamal Haasan in 10 roles was shot recently with director K S Ravikumar making a cameo in the song.

Sources close to producer Oscar Ravichandran said Jackie Chan and his associates will be flown to Chennai in a special flight to take part in the audio release.

The audio to be released by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi will have Rajinikanth, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty and Chiranjeevi taking part.

Can anyone tell how much the budget of this movie is ? (Is it still about 50c??)

A star-studded audio launch
Meera Srinivasan

Host of leading actors to attend the launch of the music of �Dasavatharam� on April 25

CHENNAI: Actor Kamal Haasan�s much-awaited �Dasavatharam� was expected to be released on Tamil New Year�s Day. However, the team has been working on the computer graphics, causing a delay in completion. The word is that it would take a couple of months before the film hits the cinemas.

All the same, news about actor Jackie Chan coming for the audio launch scheduled on April 25 has been doing the rounds for a while, causing some excitement. Industry sources say the actor was paid a huge sum (a few crores) to participate in the event. He will take a special charter flight to reach Chennai and an entire floor in Hotel Park Sheraton has been booked for the actor and his associates.

The launch, to be held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium, will also have leading actors representing other film industries in India, including Bollywood�s Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty representing the Malayalam industry, Kannada actor Vishnuvardhan and actor Vijay.

The climax song penned by lyricist Vairamuthu, �Ulaganayaganae��, and set to music by music director Himesh Reshammiya will have Kamal in all the 10 avtars. Director K.S. Ravikumar will make an appearance, and shots of the process Kamal went through for the different guises have been included. Sony is said to have received orders for about 50,000 copies of the music CD.

தசாவதாரம்: ஜாக்கி வருகை உறுதி!

ஒரு வழியாக தசாவதாரம் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழா அதிகாரப்பூர்வமாக உறுதியாகியுள்ளது. ஏப்ரல் 25ம் தேதி பிரமாண்ட அளவில் விழா நடைபெறவுள்ளது.

கமல்ஹாசன் 10 வேடங்களில் கலக்கியுள்ள தசாவதாரம் படத்தின் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழா தொடர்பாக குழப்பமான நிலை காணப்பட்டு வந்தது. ஜாக்கிசான் வருவது மட்டும் உறுதியாக தெரிந்தது. ஆனால் விழா எப்போது நடைபெறும் என்பதில் பல குழப்பங்கள் நிலவின.

இந்த நிலையில் ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழா உறுதி செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளது. ஏப்ரல் 25ம் தேதி சென்னை நேரு உள்விளையாட்டு அரங்கில் விழா நடைபெறவுள்ளது. ஆசிய சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ஜாக்கி சான் கலந்து கொண்டு ஆடியோவை வெளியிடுகிறார்.

விழாவுக்கு ஒரு நாள் முன்பாகவே ஹாங்காங்கிலிருந்து தனி விமானம் மூலம் ஜாக்கி சான் சென்னைக்கு வருகிறார். சான் 2 நாட்களுக்கு சென்னையில் தங்கியுள்ளார். அடையார் பார்க் ஷெரட்டன் ஹோட்டலில் அவர் தங்கவுள்ளார். அவருக்குப் பாதுகாப்பாக அவருடைய பாதுகாவலர்களும் உடன் வருகிறார்கள்.

ஜாக்கி சானின் 2 நாள் விஜயத்துக்காக மிகப் பெரும் தொகையை தயாரிப்பாளர் ஆஸ்கர் பிலிம்ஸ் ரவிச்சந்திரன் செலவிடவுள்ளாராம். ஜாக்கி சான் தங்கும் ஹோட்டலில் கடைசி மூன்று தளங்களையும் 3 நாட்களுக்கு புக் செய்துள்ளனராம்.

ஜாக்கி சானுக்காக செலவிடப்படும் தொகை உத்தேசமாக ரூ. 5.5. கோடி என்று கூறப்படுகிறது. படத்தின் ஆடியோ உரிமையே ரூ. 2.65 கோடிக்குதான் விற்றுள்ளது என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

ஆடியோ வெளியீட்டு விழாவுக்கான செலவுக்காக ஆடியோ உரிமையை வாங்கியுள்ள சோனி பிஎம்ஜி ரூ.1 கோடி தருகிறதாம்.

அமிதாப் பச்சன் பட விழாவில் பங்கேற்பதை ஏற்கனவே உறுதி செய்துள்ளார். ரஜினிகாந்த் குசேலன் படப்பிடிப்பில் பிசியாக இருக்கிறார். எனவே அவர் வருவாா, மாட்டார என்பது தெரியவில்லை. இந்தி, தமிழ், தெலுங்குத, மலையாளம் ஆகிய திரையுலகங்களைச் சேர்ந்த பலரும் விழாவில் பங்கேற்கவுள்ளனர்.

சிறப்பு விருந்தினராக முதல்வர் கருணாநிதி பங்கேற்கிறார். தனது வருகையை அவர் ஏற்கனவே உறுதி செய்துள்ளார்.

�Dasavatharam has a lot of Al Gore and Ramanujar�

Malathi Rangarajan

Film uses a complex story-telling technique that never loses sight of audience entertainment

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An ambitious storyline featuring 10 characters

Story, screenplay and dialogue are penned by

Kamal Haasan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chennai: Kamal Haasan�s �Dasavatharam� uses a complex story-telling technique that never loses sight of audience entertainment. �We are letting them get the full clip,� said the star in an interview at his residence on Tuesday.

No conversation with Kamal is complete without a reference to his mentor Ananthu. �He would always say, �keep it simple.� I�ve followed that,� says the veteran. The humour and fun of �Michael Madana Kamarajan,� the sadness of �Mahanadhi,� the sentimentality of �Thevar Magan� and the emotions of �Hey!Ram!� are all woven into a screenplay that is irreverent enough to defy pundit-driven formulas. Yet, �Dasavatharam� will remain faithful to time-tested storytelling techniques, he says.

With an ambitious storyline featuring 10 characters, �Dasavatharam� will have contemporaneous messages encompassing such concerns as the environment, science and faith. �Dasavatharam has a lot of Al Gore in it, and also Ramanujar,� he says.

Describing the film as �honest to the core,� Kamal says he has explored religion at length. �Are we going to continue using the same blunt tool�religion,� he asks.

Is there a strong story line that elevates it from other blockbusters that we have seen in recent times? �For one, there are 10 characters, ranging in scope from a Ramanujar and a Galileo to a particle physicist. Computer graphics bring to life many of the scenes.� �Dasavatharam� has convinced him that audiences were ready for good film stories even a decade earlier.

�If such films have not been made it was just the assumption that the audiences had not evolved,� he argues.

Between giving post-production instructions and gearing up for the audio launch of �Dasavatharam,� Kamal continues to explain his magnum opus, and how it does not dumb down to the audience.

Audio launch

The stage is set for the audio launch of the film on a grand scale on April 25. Jackie Chan is coming for the event. �Amitabh Bachchan will also be here,� adds Kamal. �Chan is well known to the producer. So he decided to invite him. It will be a grand event,� he says with a smile.

The music of �Dasavatharam,� will be mesmeric. Himesh Reshammiya has composed some excellent pieces. �It�s rare for a composer from the north to create tunes that allow the lyricist here to lend words with equal ease. Himesh has pulled that off. You will find in Himesh�s song, the joy of an M.S.Viswanathan tune. Those in the unit were initially sceptical but they fell for his music,� says Kamal. Devi Sriprasad is handling the re-recording.

The story, screenplay and dialogue for �Dasavatharam� are all by Kamal.

He talks of the challenge of coming up with a screenplay for a complex project.

�I enjoy telling stories so it was a wonderful experience. And it�s been a great team, together with an understanding producer (Oscar Ravichandran) and a competent director (K.S. Ravikumar) at the helm. It�s not as though there were no egos but the project sailed smoothly thanks to frank and creative exchanges,� Kamal adds.

what do u mean??????????????

Algore contested against Bush in the US presidential elections.. so acc to kamal,

al gore = "anti-bush" element.. thats what he meant..

by ramanujar, he refers to the vaishanavists..

so, he means,
Dasa has both vaishnavism and world politics in its script..

the script travelling across time is another matter..

It is really funny arguement that one should speak about only what he beleive in .. for example if somebody doesn't beleive in caste system ,he/she should not talk about why he/she not beleive in caste system ..is this your point ?

It is not just kamal express his views (or 'thrusting' in your view) ,everybody does about their views on women slavery ,relegion ,terrorism etc etc in their movies ..Just you can't accept kamal's views ,that cannot be funny .

ok, talk abt it in 1 film, 2 films not in all films making small references atleast........when he has talked abt being anti-<religion> anti-<caste> then it surely means, that caste and religion have achieved their purpose on him.............

.........and its so childish to keep whining abt something for 40 yrs or so and do nothing abt it......

.........as a film viewer, i, repeat i expect some sort of freedom or liberties while watching a movie, i dont see it in kamal's movies......he always comes with a pre-conceived notion of people/caste/beliefs so it gets stuck as sore thumb in the movie - which becomes a suffocation for viewers like e....

If Aanadavar want's to explore about religion let him do it offline by writing a book or conduct a TV talk show or something... Assuming that the audience would also be willing to explore religion along with him for 3 hours is a big mistake that he would have already learnt through Anbe Sivam... The last thing we would want to see in 10A is the "Kamalism" either directly or indirectly... Hope Aandavar stops being suggestive & adopts more of a "as is" approach to his 10A narrative...

Kamal in �Dasavatharam� impresses Karunanidhi
Meera Srinivasan
The effort earns him a kiss and a hug from CM

RAISING EXPECTATIONS: A poster of the film.

CHENNAI: With about five days left for the audio launch of Dasavatharam, the latest dope on what seems like one of the most extravagant pre-release events is Kollywood�s latest interest.

Apart from Jackie Chan and other senior artists from different parts of the country, Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi will also participate in the mega event to be held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium. It will later be telecast on Kalaignar TV, industry sources said.

The team showed a trailer of the film to the Chief Minister recently. Mr. Karunanidhi is said to have been very impressed with Kamal Haasan�s efforts and congratulated him with a hug and a kiss. He asked the actor, �Are all those people really you?�

Sources said the actor plays 10 different characters and the story is not about one person in different guises.

It is learnt that the story begins with an episode set in the 12th century, and then looks at coincidences. In this, Kamal plays Nambi, a staunch V aishnavite priest. Lyricist Vaali�s lines - �Kallai mattum paarthal kadavul theriyadu, kadavul mattum paarthal kalladi theriyadu�� powerfully describe the character�s devotion in playback singer Hariharan�s voice.

The other characters are an American, a Chinese man, a CBI officer from Andhra Pradesh, an old lady, a leader from Afghanistan, a Scheduled Tribes� leader, George Bush, a Punjabi and one character, who looks like Kamal normally does.

The film apparently has a very simple screenplay sans usual elements of commercial films such as duets and unwarranted action. The actor has dubbed for all the characters, modulating his voice appropriately. Besides watching a lot of video recordings of George Bush, the actor also put in extra efforts to get his tone and accent right. He also took the help of daughter Shruti while attempting to perfect the accent.
Make-up menace

The make up for the different characters took as long as nine hours. However, it would not stay even for an hour. This meant that the actor started his day at 3 a.m., spent time on make up till noon, started shooting at 1 p.m. and wound up before 2 p.m. He would sit straight and drink fluids using a straw with minimum possible movement of facial muscles to ensure the make up was not disturbed.

The still (used here) is to be blown up to form a backdrop at the audio launch on Friday. It shows Nambi chained and tied to an idol of Vishnu and thrown into the sea.

From: njv on Sun Apr 20 1:19:32 2008.

A friend of mine who has seen the movie (post production work) said that its very advanced for tamil/indian audiance. He mentioned that its about cloning/virus. Devar Magan or someone who has seen the trailor can add more color to it.

Kamal's statement is also contradictory. He refered Ananthu's to say that he has kept it simple, but at the same time he mentioned that there is a bit of Devar Magan, Mahanadhi, MMKR and Hey Ram.

I am very confident that Kamal can not give anything simple and it has to be complex. Hope this is the simplest form of complexity and not complex form or simplicity!

engalukkum niraya friends irukaanga..

actually its a complex story told thru simple scenes...

the trailor is sure to blow over the typical tamil/indian audience ... the movie's visuals too is sure to blow them over...

keep in mind, that KSR and oscar ravi had seen this movie so many times and they are very very confident abt the movie ..

only some so-called kamal fans are writing crap like " movie is going to be too complex.. its not going to reach the indian audience etc... etc.. "

the same people will tell after the release that " movie was too pop-cornish.. Kamal's directorial standards not met in this movie.. he didnt take much of a risk.. he had played it safe. "

When stars descend on namma Chennai

A galaxy of stars will descend on the city this week and is all set to dazzle at the launch function of a film that has been the talk of the town for quite some time now.

The audio launch of Kamal Haasan�s magnum opus Dasavatharam to be held on April 25 � organised by Oscar Ravichandran � is touted to be the biggest ever event in South Indian cinema. The invitation for the audio launch, designed like a vinyl, states that it is the �meeting of the legends.� Chief Minister Kalaignar Karunanidhi, Hollywood action hero Jackie Chan, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, Malayalam megastar Mammootty, Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Hema Malini, Asin, Mallika Sherawat and other Tamil industry stalwarts will be sharing the dais at the Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. Two songs from the film and the trailer will be screened on that day.

When the producer visited Hong Kong to invite Jackie Chan, he was said to be more than eager to attend the event. Almost a crore is likely to be spent on Chan and his five-member entourage during their 24-hour visit to the city.

Jackie Chan is scheduled to fly in by a special chartered flight on Thursday evening and stay at the Taj Coromandel. Security arrangements have been beefed up. He will not be staying long enough to give taekwondo lessons. We hear he will be leaving soon after the launch.
The buzz is that biggies like Bachchan Senior have already blocked their dates to be in the city for the mother of all dos. Big B, who has been a regular at Taj, is known to have polished off some authentic South Indian khana the last time he was here. The items that found favour with him were kaikari kozhambu and Malabar parathas.

Jackie Chan�s diet is no more a Myth. No, it is not babelicious Mallika that he digs. He is reportedly on a fitness obsession and prefers health drinks at regular intervals. Didn�t we say he is the West�s version of an Energizer bunny? Soups and vegetables, we�re told, are his favourites and the city is prepared to pull out all stops when it comes to pampering his tastebuds.

Savour this. Producer, Ravichandran says: �Though I�m now known for only producing Tamil cinema, Jackie Chan�s contribution to popularising action films in India is undeniable.�

One still remembers how a 100-feet cutout of the star was installed in front of the then Alankar theatre on Mount Road, when his Armour of God-2 released in the early 90s. Dasavatharam is pegged at hold-your-breath a whopping Rs 60 crore and took about 18 months to complete.

Haasan has penned the script and appears in 10 roles in the film, which starts with a prelude in the 12th century and ends in the modern times. When the film releases, there will be strong debate at the hustings as to which role pulled the punters.Get ready for some big-time star-gazing!

Who are all the superstars? From reading the articles, I am sure Amitabh is attending. Is SRK also there(considering the fact that SRK is closer to Kamal than Amitabh).
Is Rajinikanth there? It has been just two weeks since the controversial Hogenekkal fast. Im curious to see what Rajini will speak in this audio launch.
What about the superstars from Kannada film industry? Are actors like Vishnuvardhan invited? Varuvaangala? Vandha namma makkal viduvaangala?

Asin: A role close to my heart

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 21 April , 2008, 09:05

Asin the heroine of Dasavatharam in a telephonic interview to sify.com spoke about the film and the audio launch.

Hi, how are you?
I'm doing well. I'm completing the last schedule of Ghajani in Hyderabad and is thoroughly enjoying my work.

You are looking good in the trailer of Dasavatharam?
Oh.. I'm yet to watch it. In fact, I'm just dying to see the trailer and songs in the film. I heard that they may also screen the first song of the film sung by Hariharan Kallai mattum paarthal kadavul theriyada� at the audio launch. It is an awesome song with fantastic picturisation and graphics.

Are you coming for the audio launch of the film at Nehru Indoor stadium?
Of course, I will be in Chennai on Friday morning, as I will be taking off for a day from the shoot of Ghajani in Hyderabad to attend the function.

Is Dasavatharam the most important film you have done so far in Tamil?
Yes, it's a role close to my heart. I'm there throughout the film; it was a great learning experience to work with a master performer like Kamal sir. I have worked very hard for the film.

What's your wardrobe for Friday evening?
(Laughs)Well�.That�s a big surprise..

Dasavatharam audio � A big launch!

By Moviebuzz | Monday, 21 April , 2008, 08:05

The showman of Tamil cinema producer Oscar Ravichandran, has started inviting the VIP�s personally for the audio launch of his Dasavatharam. It will be the biggest ever event Tamil film history on Friday April 25 at Nehru Indoor stadium in Chennai.

A galaxy of stars like Hollywood�s top action hero Jackie Chan, Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan, Kollywood superstar Ilayathalapathy Vijay, Malluwood megastar Mammootty, and the films leading artists Kamal Hassan, Asin and Mallika Sherawat will be present on the specially erected dais. Chief Minister M.Karunanidhi will be the chief guest of the evening, and Kalaignar TV may telecast it live.

Last week Ravichandran showed the trailer of the film to Karunanidhi who is said to have been impressed with Kamal�s awesome performance and asked him a doubt, �Are all those people really you?� A special still which will form the background at the audio launch shows Kamal chained and tied to an idol of Lord Vishnu and thrown into the sea.

How is the publicity going for the Hindi Dasavathar? None of my NI buddies know about Dasavathar. I hope Oscar does a really good job of promoting the movie in NI. Its well know fact that 10A is going to be hit in all over SI. The challenge would be to make it a super hit in NI. I read somewhere that Oscar is hiring a advertising firm in NI. He should take extra care to make it a big hit in NI.

Then everyone will know who is the real BOSS as far as the acting goes.

And what about Chiranjeevi/Nagarjuna/Mahesh Babu. Any one of them attending the function?

I am not a so-called kamal fan. I am HC kamal fan. Its jsut that I want a big/huge commercial winner from Kamal. If the movie is good, I am sure will cherish every moment of it. I hope it is a good movie. I replied to your PM.
