  Kamal Hassan and director K.S.Ravikumar are leaving for US (April 19) to try out some new exciting make-up for their film Dasavatharam. They will be in Los Angeles for nearly a month working with make-up wizard Michael Westmoore and Anil who did Kamal’s make-up in Indian and Avvai Shanmughi. For Dasavatharam Kamal plays 10 different characters each with an innovative style and distinctive make-up. “It is a very difficult job and only a master actor like Kamal sir can pull it along” says K.S.Ravikumar. Ravikumar said that as of now, the heroines for Dasavatharam has not been fixed and they are talking to Vidya Balan, Trisha and Asin and one among them would be firmed up soon. Ravikumar is also planning to have five music directors for the film. Art is by Sameer Chandra and camera is by Ravi Varman. Added Ravikumar: “Once we are back from US we will not only try out the make-up tests but will also see some locations. We are planning to start the shoot by June”.

  SakaLa, Don't u feel that the last one is not meant for movies like this
  
  Let's say they sign some 5 popular MDs.
  
  KSR - poet combo asks any of the two MDs to compose the tune for the same song.
  
  I am sure that will set our TFM section on fire if that pair turns out to be IR & ARR.

  the last I heard was Dasavatharam was to be MDed by ARR. Change in plans?
  
  anyway, if indeed it is five MDs, then it has to be...
  
  1. YSR
  2. KR (remember kaathalaax2)
  3. Vidhyasagar
  4. Vijay Anthony
  5. SAR/Deva
  
  I dont think IR, ARR or HR will be interested....

  That is a great news. I am glad to see an end to all the rumours of Kamal's movie with Perarasu.
  
  However, It is quite a difficult task to make 5 popular MD's working together. Given that everyone willing to do this, my choice would be as follows.
  
  1. IR -- BGM for the whole movie
  2. ARR -- Theme Music and One song.
  3. YSR -- 2 songs
  4. HJ -- 1 song
  5. Vidyasagar -- 1 song..
  
  Also would like to see Vairamuthu, Pa. Vijay, Thamarai and Vaali to write lyrics for this movie.
  
  Heroines..
  
  The following heroines could be very much suitable for KH.
  1. Asin
  2. Vidya Balan
  3. Simran(Let here make a comeback throuh this film )
  4. Pooja
  5. Nayantara..(She will get a chance to act at last )

  We do know that Vidya Balan is one of the heroines for Dasaavatharam....and Kamal sir has stated that Asin will act with him in the future but not for this movie....Trisha is a very close possibility but not sure yet...Jothika is also quite a close possibility....I actually hope kamal gives real talented actresses a chance like he always does...Meera Jasmine,Vidya Balan and Uma would be a good combination..Uma is one of the most underrated actress in the film industry...who knows if she too becomes like abhirami and comes inside...sandhya aint that bad either.

  Excerpts from an interview of Kamal to 'Business Standard':
  
  1)Budget of 10A is 25cr.Might also get made in Hindi
  
  2)Scouting for investors to complete 'Maruth.....',requires 38 to 40 cr.
  
  3)Talking with Indian&International production companies for JV big projects.At a preliminary stage.
  
  4)Basically an artiste who is learning to be business savvy
  
  5)Still a reluctant actor,a technician at heart.

  I think he meant it could be a bilingual.As of now it's a Tamil project only.
  
  Anyways doing a film like this again in a diff language is ruled out.It's either a bilingual or not.No chance of a remake.
  
  Personally I would prefer if it's made in Tamil only.

  funny thoughts on kamal's Dasavatar extracted from http://jackofall.blogspot.com/
  
  

  Quote:

  Kamal I thought the narcissist kamal has corrected his ways of trying to occupy the screen and screenplay as much as he can, and has given up his ways of distracting people with gimmicks than doing some real acting.But guess iam wrong, he is going to be back to his old form with his new movie Dasavatharam, where he will act in 10 roles.Hmmm what could his future movies titles be like??.Some ideas that came to my mind 1)Ravannan 2)Lagaan: Once upan a time in Tamil Nadu Like munnabhai mbbs which was remade as vasool raja.Laggan would be remade in tamil where kamal will play all the 11 cricket players of the laggan team.He will put make up and strain himself to become bhuvan,arjan,guran,kachuva etc.Not sure, he might even do the roles of the 11 members of the opposing team too..Dialogues by crazy mohan direction singeetham srinivas/santhanabarathi/c.sunder or any other jobless director. 3)Mohammed Ghazni Like maruthnayagam this will another epic drama.This one follows the life of the man who invaded india 17 times.Kamal will come in 17 make up's showing his progression of age. 4)Bharath This is a sequel to Hey ram.This movie shows the like of saket ram after his friend amjad ali khan dies.saketh ram is again tormented by the violence committed on his friend.He seeks salvation,so he takes the name that his friend gave to him(bharath) and travels through india preaching hindu muslim unity.He goes to all the 28 states and union territories to do it.He changes his makeup for every state and speaks in the native language. 5)kauravas Kamal plays the roles of all the 100 brothers.Pandavas would be played by 5 great actors but they will appear in the movie only for 50 seconds.The movie would be alll about kauravas.. 6)Ayiram thalai vangiya aborva sigamani He does the roles of 1000 prince who come to take part in the competition to marry the prince. Not sure he might even do a movie called devargal. I wish i could tell kamal in Devar magan climax style "Poongada Poongada Ozhunga Nadingada...."

  Kamal’s cool approach for Dasavatharam and a tough search for Marudhanayagam!!
  April 20, 2006
  
  Kamal is working hard on the script of his next film, Dasavatharam. The film would show him don 10 different characters and he is studying the roles minutely. Following the success of using digital technology for filming in VV, Kamal assured that it would be the way in the future both in terms of savings in costs and excellent output. He said that he would not use exaggerated styles for the 10 different characters and would make it seem as effortless as possible. The film is presently planned only in Tamil but a Hindi version could come up sooner rather than later. The estimated budget is about Rs. 25 crores.
  
  On his dream project, Marudhanayagam, Kamal is said to be more involved as a technician. It is the technical finesse of the film which is quite concerned and particular about. Having shot 30 minute footage and having taken on French and Western actors on board, he said that progress was stymied because he would need another Rs. 40 crores to complete the film. Hence, he was scouting for investors. In a recent article in our website, we have also given the complete background about the making of Marudhanayagam.

  I guess both KH and KSR will have problems with the commencement of this project.
  Remember, Oscar was banned(or given red card) by the Producer's council for providing some scenes from Dishoom to Sun TV despite council's orders? Oscar cannot start a new project unless this ban is taken off.
  
  I hope everything goes well and that Kamal doesnt act in Perarasu's s***play

  Kamal Hassan: back to his old tricks?
  April 24, 2006
  
  According to Kodambakkam reports, Kamal Hassan is gearing up for a yet another new look for one of the ten roles he plays in Dasavataaram. Director K S Ravikumar and Kamal left for the US recently to meet up with make up artistes and scout for locations for the film. Kamal is likely to bring in his fave make up artiste Michael Westmore, the man who worked with Kamal in Indian and Avvai Shanmukhi, back into Dasavataaram. A mega –budget film by Oscar Ravichandaran, Dasavataaram is creating a lot of expectations of both Kamal Hassan and Ravi Kumar. If reports are true, Ravikumar is bringing in five music directors to score the music for the film.

  Five for ten
  IndiaGlitz [Tuesday, April 25, 2006]
  
  Kamal Hassan, who is known for executing innovative ideas on screen, is planning a similar thing for his next Dasavatharam.
  
  The movie being directed by K S Ravi Kumar with dialogues by Crazy Mohan is expected to begin soon.
  
  The actor had left for the USA recently along with Ravikumar to finalize the script.
  
  Featuring him in 10 different roles, Kamal Hassan has mooted the idea of trying out five music-composers for the film. It seems to have won the favor of producer Oscar Ravichandran.
  
  It would now mean that five top music-directors would compose music in Dasavatharam.

  Ennatha "won the favor" ???? ARR said that he is goin to compose for Dasa, some time before......that means he was contacted officially by KSR\Kamal for composing music
  
  Suddenly the 5 music directors news floated...Now ARR has cleverly excluded Dasa, in his recent interview here........http://tinyurl.com/zw9xf
  
  total confucsion in Dasa too.......

  I think it is better to stick with IR or ARR , to some extent Vidyasagar(did well for ANBE SIVAM). I dont think IR&ARR will accept for this GOMBALLA GOVINDA
  
  Anyway very interesting to see THALIVAR IN DIFFERENT CHARACTERS. Hope it will be like NAVARITHRI FOR NADIGAR THIALAGAM.

  Quote:

  Hi members, Good Morning !!! came to knew that Thalaivar's ten get up's have come extraordinarly. But I knew 5 confirmed get up's 1.Mother Teresa 2.George Bush 3.Mongolian (fighter) 4. Young Person 5. Villian get up (tonsured head). Story line : Its again a thriller / comedy film. Shooting is going to commence by June or July and first schedule will be at Chidambaram, Tanjore and Srirangam. Some temple related scenes are going to be canned. Thalaivar was suppose to return to Chennai today (25.05.06) but again he returned back to US from Cannes (after attending festival). He is coming back to Chennai on June 5th. K.S.Ravikumar reached Chennai alongwith 10 get up's of 10avatharam and producer Mr.Ravichandran itself shocked after seeing the getup's and could not recognise Thalaivar. He was so impressed and eager to start the film. Today morning I personally spoke to Mr.Narayanan, producer of VV and it was assured by him that film slated to release on 30th of June, he said he is literally waiting for Thalaivar's arrival since he has to finish some dubbing work. Rest all the problems were sorted out amicably. Once Khaja Mohideen's Perarasu released (June 9th) they agreed to give 2 to 3 weeks gap to release our film (VV). So pull up your socks and get ready to Vetayaadi Velayaadi. This is Ananth, Dubai, signing off .............

  Kamal invites Simran
  
  Super offers have come to Simran and Ranjeeta who have been away from Kollywood limelight for some time.
  Simran fell out of grace after she got married. The one offer that came to her to co-star with her husband went kaput. Ranjeeta invited her to co-star with her husband Rajasekhar in a Telugu film and then changed her mind since Simran has put on weight. When Simran felt thoroughly vexed with these events, she received an offer to star in ‘Dasavataram.’ Of the 9 roles Kamal is to don, Simran will pair with him for one of the roles.

  Pleased as punch
  IndiaGlitz [Monday, June 19, 2006]
  
  
  Ravikumar is all thrilled to direct Kamal Haasan for Dasavatharam. After a debacle in Saravana, Ravikumar was keeping a low profile waiting patiently to commence Dasavatharam.
  
  The duo had earlier combined to render blockbusters in Avvai Shanmugi and Panchatantram.
  
  Being produced by Oscar Films, Dasavatharam assumes greater significance for Kamal would appear in ten different costumes.
  
  Speaking about the film, Ravi Kumar, says, 'Everything is set for us to commence shooting. Kamal Haasan had been to USA recently for make-up test and with the help of renowned make-up man from Hollywood Micahel Wesmore, he tried ten different get up and all have suited him well'.
  
  Dasvatharam would have dialogues by Crazy Mohan and music by A R Rehman.
  
  Says Ravi Kumar, 'I can vouch that no one can recognize Kamal Haasan in all the ten different make ups even if he walks on the streets of Chennai. Sure to fetch him more accolades is Dasavatharam'.

  Shriya is Kamal heroine!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 21 June , 2006, 09:19
  
  After Trisha and Asin politely refused the role opposite Kamal Hassan in Dasavatharam, saying that they have no dates, Shriya is the front runner for the female lead in this K.S.Ravikumar directed film.
  There is however one hitch before Shriya signs on the dotted line, as she has to get a green signal from Shankar with whom she has a contract. As per this contract, she cannot do other films during the making of Sivaji.
  
  Now the latest we hear is that Ravikumar and others spoke to Shankar and assured him that Dasavatharam will only release after Sivaji. The advantage of taking Shriya us that she can dole out bulk dates required for Dasavatharam.

  Move over A.R.Rahman, Yuvan Shankar Raja and Harris Jayaraj. Himesh Reshammiya, is here in Kollywood.
  
  Himesh is Bollywood’s hottest music director and a craze with the youth. He has been signed by producer Oscar Ravichandran for his prestigious Kamal Hassan big budget film Dasavatharam to be directed by K.S.Ravikumar.
  
  When A.R.Rahman walked out of Dasavatharam, Ravikumar was baffled as music is an integral part of his film. After weeks of hunting around, finally the choice zeroed in on Himesh Reshammiya, one of the busiest music composers in Bollywood today.
  
  It was the song Just Chill.. from Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya and the music score of Aashiq Banaya Aapne… that made Reshammiya hot with the generation next. It was followed by a string of hits like Garam Masala, 36 China Town, Gangster and last week’s Phir Hera Pheri.
  
  It is a coup of sorts for Oscar Films to sign up Himesh who will be composing six songs for the film.

  Other angel may be if storyline plus kamal factor ( 9 characters)will play major facotor in this film and rest like music will be supporting factor.

  Nakeera , you are talking about copying. I think you don't know the real meaning of "inspiration" . Why you guys are thinking about only tune?. Apart from tune there are so many items in a song, IR has proved this . The style of music composing, orchestration, inter-ludes, usage of music instruments, usage of humming, usage of pitch level, etc
  
  Even though TR had not lifted strightly (AFIK but may not be) from IR's tune, he strongly influenced by IR's style.
  
  Take semi classical song by TR, one example "Salangaiyittal oru mathu". I found similarities between this song and "Kathal Oviyam" songs. Don't you?

  What's wrong with Himesh Reshamiya? He's by far the BEST MD compared to crap like D.Imman and Sabesh-Murali. He's the YUVAN of the north! Even Harris Jeyaraj couldn't keep up with him.
  
  Say what you want, he's the best. Besides, he's also working with Bharthi Raja's billingual (Tamil-Hindi) flick as well.
  
  Besides, Kamal brought in Shankar-Eshaan-Loy to TN, they were a hit, so why not Reshamiya.
  
  Plus, Rehman said that he dropped out of Dasavatharam bcoz he's scoring Sivaji's soundtrack, that's all.

  Taken from kamalhasaanfanclub yahoo groups.
  
  Well mostly 10A will be going to sets by first or second week of July. Its
  going to be a extravaganza starting ceremony. Producer of the film
  Mr.Ravichandran is setting up to start (Poojai ceremony) in Trichy in a open
  ground inviting Film Personalites, Industrialists, Film Distributors, Theatre
  Owners and Kamal Haasan (Thalaivar) fans from all over Tamilnadu to grace the
  function.
  
  Since Mr.Ravi is a close associate of DMK the SUN TV is going to grab the film
  rights and mostly the function will be aired live in SUN TV. This is the first
  time in Tamil Film history that a film opening ceremony will be telecating
  live.(one more additional feather in Thalaivar's cap).
  
  Awaiting for Thalaivar's consent in the regard is still pending.
  
  If it happens as per my bulletin then its a paaaaaaarty time for (Trichy

  I spoke to Trichy Sarathy [#1 fan of Aandavar in Trichy. He is close to Chandrahaasan and also knows Aandavar personally] yesterday.
  He said they were contemplating Trichy for 10A Poojai initially but now nothing is confirmed.

  A_A,
  For 10A,I am least bothered whether they have a pooja in Trichy or Chennai or in a house or don't have a pooja at all as long as the film gets off the block quickly, is completed in a time bound schedule&released without any hitches.
  
  As for VV,glad to see that the first copy will be ready by 7th July&Thalaiver is taking personal interest(is he?) in getting it released.Sify says July end,you guys say Aug 15th,the 'koloppam'doesn't seem to end at all.

  'I love watching Kamal Haasan'
  June 29, 2006
  
  As Kamal Haasan gets ready to don 10 different getups for his latest film, Dasavatharam, there is a lot of speculation about who his heroines will be. One actor sure to be part of the film is Jayaram, who enjoys a special kind of camaraderie with Haasan.
  This friendship began several years ago on the sets of a Malayalam film called Chanakyan, where Haasan played the lead role with Urmila Matonkar as heroine. Jayaram, who had just entered the film industry, acted as a mimicry artist in the film. He was, at the time, known across Kerala for his mimicry. Chanakyan paved the way for the two actors to form a strong bond that has stayed all these years. Perhaps it was Jayaram's famous sense of humour that attracted Kamal Haasan.
  It was years before the two acted together again, as Jayaram was busy in Kerala. He was the second lead in Kamal's Thenali, followed by Panchatantram, where he was one of the five. The latest, of course, is the much talked about Dasavatharam. In an interview with rediff.com, Jayaram takes a trip down memory lane. Excerpts:
  The first time I met Kamal was not on the sets of Chanakyan, but when I was in school. He had come to my place for the shooting of a film called Eetta. I went to the location, pushing all the people who had gathered for a glimpse. I could only see him from afar.
  My first meeting with him was on the sets of Chanakyan. People talk of 'love at sight' -- in our case too, there was a kind of bonding on the first day itself. A rare friendship (laughs)! It could be because both of us enjoy the same kind of jokes, and share the same sense of humour. We sometimes see humour in things others don't. Both of us would fall down laughing while those around us couldn't understand why. What I mean is, as far as humour is concerned, we share the same wavelength.
  Kamal HaasanLet me go back to the sets of Chanakyan. Many told him I could mimic him very well, and he wanted to see how I did it. When I did, he asked me if his acting was that bad. Though we used to call each other, share jokes and laugh a lot, there was no chance to act together again until Thenali. I was to act in Sati Leelavathi, in the role that eventually went to Ramesh Arvind. I couldn't do it because of my work in Malayalam though.
  The shooting of Thenali was a blast. Most scenes were improvised at the last moment. The film, which was such a huge success, was shot in just 25 days! It was only spontaneity that worked for it. K S Ravikumar, the director, would set the camera, tell us what the incident was, and we would create a hilarious situation. Situations were possibly improvised so well because both of us shared the same sense of timing and comedy. Ravikumar was such a good man that he gave us a free hand to improvise.
  Whether it is humour, action, romance or song and dance, Kamal can come out with something different, something unique that no other actor can. He is such a good singer that it is very difficult to sing at his pitch. In my opinion, Kamal Haasan is a better singer than an actor. He is also so well read that he can talk about any subject, and not superficially, but in detail. He is so full of ideas that, even after all rehearsals, when the director says, 'Ready, take', he may come out with something different. So, you have to be extremely alert and ready to improvise when acting opposite him.
  In Panchatantram, my character was not that great, but I enjoyed being with Kamal Haasan for 45 days. It was fun watching him perform. I am crazy about elephants. I can watch an elephant for hours and enjoy every minute of it. I even have an elephant of my own! I derive the same kind of pleasure watching Kamal perform!
  I have been asked to act in Dasavatharam, but have no idea what the role is. I am not bothered either. I will do it even if it is a tiny role, because I love watching him act.
  When we are together, we talk a lot about Kerala because he is very attached to it. He loves everything about Kerala including our fish and rice. So, whenever he has some free time, he comes to the backwaters.

  Ille pa,from the time he has come back from the US,suddenly there has been a spurt in the no of news items about him.
  
  He attends Goundamani's daughter's marriage,meets Karunanidhi,finishes dubbing for VV,donates footwear to a lot of children thro' his Narpani iyakkam et al.This spurt is itself a good sign as far as i am concerned.
  
  BTW,why are you so upset at Himesh being the MD for 10A.Somehow the news didn't upset me at all.I am no fan of his singing but he is the current flavour of Bollywood,may be this will rub off here as well.
  
  When Deva can score for Kamal why not Himesh?Personally I was not happy with ARR,he&Kamal just don't seem to gel.

  I second Cinefan about the music. I still hear to Panchathandhiram and Aalavanthan songs. When it comes to Kamal, people wud die to provide their best. For aalavanthan, the songs were in line with situation and were never considered to be normal 5 min songs. Infact, Un azhagukku song was rocking that time but with just 1 saranam in the film, failed it to the small screen. After all, ppl. call a song hit only if they see it on TV on numerous occassions. I thought Shankar Mahadevan should have done many more films in Tamil.
  
  Though, I have never heard of Himesh's work, I believe the songs will be hit provided they are not unconventional and that he understands the lyrics before you scores.
  
  Let us see what Kamal/KSR has in store for us.
  
  Cheers

  Alwar,
  Nice article there. For sure, Jayaram is fortunate to work with Kamal. Talking about improvisations, I loved Jayaram in the following scenes from Panchathandhiram
  
  1. where Kamal comes to know that they are not going for interview and Jayaram says "aamanjaami"
  2. when Ramesh Arvind says "aamanda nee thaanae kola pannae, nee thaan sollanum" and Jayaram reacts "vendaam vendaam makkalae"
  3. when Kamal refuses to hook up with Ramya, Jayaram comments "hmm.. jaadhagam vecchiruppaa porundhudhaannu paappom" - here even his hands speak as well
  4. When Kamal says "ippa naama ellaarum moolaiya use pannanum", Jayaram - ha ha ha "kosu daa, sorijikka koodadha"
  
  For sure, these ideas wouldnt have come on the first thoughts but would have required lot of improvisations and takes.
  
  Cheers

  U r right.I have observed this.For a kamal film, whoever may be the MD he comes up with good songs.Even MDs like Vidyasagar, deva, Bharadwaj have come up with chartbusters for Kamal and also the recent VV.So as far as kamal films are concerned, whoever may be MD, the songs will be good.But still i am disappointed that ARR or IR is not scoring the music becoz if these chotta MDs can give good music for Kamal, IR and ARR will give great music

  The main difference is all his songs has very good lyrics and the clarity of the voice is perfect. He doesnt overuse the instruments/beatz and spoil the song. Depends on who is the lyrist for 10A the songs will become popular.

  Quote:

  Asin is Kamal’s heroine in `Dasavatharam`! By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 20 July , 2006, 09:39 In a major casting coup, Kamal Hassan has been able to rope in Asin, the young, hot and happening girl of Kollywood as his heroine in K.S.Ravikumar directed Dasavatharam. Asin who was avoiding films with senior actors has signed on the dotted line for ‘Oscar Films’ to do Dasavatharam for the highest ever payment made to a Tamil actress in recent times! It is a major triumph for Kamal Hassan who has been able to convince Asin about the meaty role that she has in the film where she is the pivot around which Kamal’s 10 roles move. And with this, Dasavatharam has become one of the hottest films in the trade. Remember that actors like Trisha, Vidya Balan and Shriya had backed out of the project saying that they had “date problems”? But now the Kamal- Asin combo is sure to create a riot on screen with their terrific comedy timing along Himesh Reshammiya’s peppy music score. Dasavatharam is sure to rock!

  Dasavatharam gets a heroine
  IndiaGlitz [Friday, July 21, 2006]
  
  
  
  It is all happening on the Kamal front.
  
  There have been too many reports, most of them unconfirmed, about his Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu. Most of the news centres around the clash between the producers Khaja Mohideen and Manickam Narayanan.
  
  After lying low for many months, Khaja has sprung into the scene, making a claim that it was his film. In between, there are also reports that the film has been censored. But nobody is ready to talk on record over the same.
  
  Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan is all ready to begin his Dasavatharam, the movie that will feature him ten different roles.
  
  The big news on that is that Asin is said to have walked away with the role of his heroine in the film.
  
  Now this is a major achievement from Asin. For, she seems to have pulled the rug from under the feet of Trisha, Vidya Balan and Shriya.
  
  Way to go, Asin.
  
  Dasavatharam is to be directed by K S Ravikumar, dialogues are by Crazy Mohan, and music is to be from a group of musicians including Himesh Reshammiya and Shankar, ehsaan and Loy.

  It’s double role for Asin in Dasavatharam July 23, 2006
  
  
  The heroines who rejected Kamal’s offer to pair with him in Dasavatharam must be regretting today. First it was Vidya Balan, the Parineeta girl, who said no to Kamal stating that she was too busy in Bollywood. Shreya wanted to pair with Kamal but couldn’t do so as she could not give bulk call sheets. It is Asin who is going to be the lucky girl. And it is double luck for her because she will be playing double role in the movie. It is long since a heroine played double role in Tamil movies and this is certainly going to be a bonus in Asin’s career.
  
  
  
  The only problem is to wait for Kamal to come out of his make up room. For Avvai Shanmukhi, he would spend four hours in the green room before he got to the sets. And ten different get-ups in Dasavatharam, man, it is mind boggling!

  Mallika Sherawat in `Dasavatharam`!
  
  Mallika Sherawat who caught the attention of Indian audience with her ‘dare bare’ attitude is debuting in south with Kamal Hassan in Dasavatharam. She will play the second lead, as Asin is the heroine in the film. And the buzz is that Mallika's salary is twice the money paid to the heroine!
  Mallika is the lady who dared to do kissing scenes with 17 hot smooches in the Hindi film Khwahish. Now she is going take over the glamour department in this K.S.Ravikumar directed film. Kamal and Mallika is sure to sizzle on the screen, which is sure going to make Dasavatharam one of the hottest films in trade.
  
  Producers ‘Oscar Films’ have pulled off a major coup as Mallika was flooded with offers from south ever since she became the “sex bomb” of Indian cinema. Remember Mallika is the first Indian actress to have done a Hollywood film The Myth opposite Jackie Chan. And recently she had refused to do an item number in Chiranjeevi’s Murugadoss directed Stalin in Telugu.

  Quote:

  Dasavatharam, Kamal Hassan’s next movie, is all set to start on the 18th of August. The shooting will begin at Kumbakonam. With the first shot to be filmed at the historic Airavatheeswarar Temple in Darasuram, just outside Kumbakonam. The temple, which is one of the oldest in South India, is a marvel of Chola architecture. It has spectacular sculptures and its architecture rivals that of the Big Temple in Tanjore. With such a backdrop and with Kamal’s known preference for the tasteful choice of location, it sure will please his fans. The town itself, is a non-descript place along the Madras - Tanjore railway line. Apart from the ancient temple of monumental proportions, there is just a railway station. Obviously, the permission to shoot at such a historic temple does not come easy. With strict regulations in place, it is very difficult to get all the concerned permission from the various government bodies. It is said that actor Napolean, who is a member of the ruling party, helped Kamal get this permission. After some consultations with the Hindu Religious Endowment Board minister, the matter was finally settled. Kamal fans may have to thank Napolean for this gesture. In this background, Kamal will sport the look of a 14th Century Vaishnavite. Some sources suggest, it could be based on the famous vaishnavite saint, Ramanujar. With such a male lead who is Vaishnavite saint, the choice of the heroine was tricky. She should suit the role of a vaishnavite woman - which is not easy for modern actresses. After much thought and deliberation, Asin has been roped in for this role. It is said that her song & dance sequence in Sivakasi, where she played a ‘mami’ in Ennatha solvanungo, helped her get this chance. One other role that the multi faceted actor will play is that of Arjunar. For this, a woman with suitable North Indian looks is being hunted for. This is most likely to feature someone from Bollywood. Another interesting piece of information on the same topic is that, Mallika Sherawat, the bombshell from Bollywood, is also set to play one of the roles. Kamal, who was known for his romantic scenes much before Mallika even knew what Cinema was, will use the glamour quotient of the actress to the maximum extent possible

  
  
  so another historical movie, adds fuel to my interest in dasa... interesting plot.

  I fail to understand the rationale behind the production of bilinguals in Tamil and Hindi. It's neither here nor there. What does Kamal want to prove in North India? People just don't appreciate his efforts there. I sincerely hope that he first produces the film in Tamil and dubs it in Hindi later. As for Sherawat, can't say anything until the film goes into production. For all we know she may just be doing a version of 'Seena Thaana doi..'

  Media (websites) has been proving nothing but wrong off late. I read in behindwoods that Mallika was paid a hefty amt. by Mani for his Guru. We all know about Mani, a man who pays for good skills. Mallika huh ?
  Back to Dasavatharam, right from the beginning the media has been playing its part by writing "Kamal starts his hunt for 10 heroins".. later.. got Asin, Trisha.. blablabla.. Come on - if there are 10 Kamals in a movie he doesnt necessarily need to have 10 heroines. Remember MMKR - Michael didnt had a heroine. And having 10 heroines is not a joke. Hope Media stops such crazy figures and start providing exact news. I still doubt about Mallika's appearance in the movie. I would anticipate another comment from behindwoods two mths from now saying that "Mallika backed off from the movie due to date problems".
  
  10A: as of now will be 10times more digital than Aalvanthan and 10times more entertaining than anyother movie. Atleast one record is for sure with 10A. Kamal is getting into Guinness records for 10 roles in a movie surpassing Sir Sivaji !
  
  btw, do you guys know that there is a hero who has got into guinness for acting more than 600 movies as hero ? Hint: he is a South Indian

  Would that be Prem Nazir? I remember reading that somewhere.
  
  As for Dhasavatharam, I hope Kamal will play down the digital part. And not work too much on make up. He did well in Michael, and watch Ellam Inba Mayam, where he plays multiple role (vesham by protagonists) and its pure, simple, old fashioned make-up. Its his acting that differentiated all the characters, not so much on make up.
  
  I did not appreciate is work in Indian, because all those cakes of make up kinda veiled his performances, we only saw his eyes. Look at Nayagan, simple and subtle. Its all in the performance.

  yup! Prem Nazir
  True.. Kamal is the one person after Sivaji to differentiate between all his characters. Be it a body language, the dialogue delivery, the tone, the language (different tamil slangs), appearance, etc. I havent seen Ellam inba mayam yet, but the next no. of apperances: MMKR is an good example. all 4 Kamals possessed all the above mentioned points.
  
  Indian.. hmm.. its a Shankar's film, for which Kamal got a National award. Not sure where the award committee went when he did Guna, Mahanadhi, Anbae Sivam... hmm. probably on vacation !

  A classic like Hey Ram does not come often. And the north-south divide was not a problem as far as the characters go. But Dasavatharam is different. One of the characters is supposedly a Vaishnavite. Now, to do a Vaishnavite character that is appealing to both Northies and us is going to be one hell of a task. It's like 'Palakkattu Kameshwaran' speaking Hindi. Anyway, the bottom line is Hey Ram didn't make money in North. And brand Kamal doesn't hold much value there. He is karpooram as far as north is concerned (if you know what I mean ).

  My argument precisely. Where were they? I think of that as an insult. Its like telling Kamal, "You cover your face with make up, we give you award. You show real emotions, very human, errr...leave your name and number and we'll get back to you."
  
  Three things made me lose respect on National Awards.
  
  1. MGR getting National Award in 1972. (no offense, he did better performance in other films)
  2. Sivaji never gotten one in his life.(completely unforgivable)
  3. Kamal getting it for Indian and not those films you mentioned adn more. (What about comedies like MMKR and Avvai? Are they not performance? They thought he is just having fun, when there is lots of pain, sweat and blood involved.)
  
  Talking about national award gets me worked up.
  
  You should watch Ellam Inba Mayam. A film shouldered by Kamal alone.
  
  Oh boy, I just mentioned in Rajini thread that I won't be writing much in Kamal thread because everyone knows Kamal's abundance of talent. Looks like there are plenty of dissatisfying issues that we have to deal with here as well...

  Kamal should have stopped doing biliguals after the result of Hey Ram. Not sure why he wanted Abhay and Mumbai Express thereafter. Abhay was still an experiment digitally which gave not only Tamil but Indian cinema a new vision. But N.Indians (NI) have a different vision (atleast IMO with the NI friends I have), they appreciate the movies like Hum Tum, Salaam Namaste but not movies that are technically enhanced. Rang de Basanti had an excellent screenply inducing the freedom leaders with the local heroes. Remember, if it was just about Bhagat Singh in his early time, the movie would have sucked big time.
  
  Well, afterall its all assumptions about 10A. Nobody knows the storyline nor no official info abt the bilingual status

  Whoops....other side of me now:
  Bollywood has become the only gateway for the Indian movies to be showcased globally (correct me if I am wrong). I wanted to see more of Kamal films in Hindi as well. Reason: I watched German dubbed Abhay in one of the local channels here. Be informed that some of the Germans are crazy about Bollywoods movies but ofcourse, the topseller is Shah Rukh Khan, oh yes the King Khan. I wanted to see my King overseas as well !!

  Ofcourse the Producer is OSCAR. Ravi who is the person not willing to produce experimental movies.
  
  Perhaps the story has all ingredients to become block busteer in 2 languages.
  
  
  Oscar production's success rate is high. Even the films he distributed gave him a good profit.
  
  So Definitely 10A will be a commercial movie which clicks well in south india atleast.

  True, 10A is a completly different ball game....and the northies...welll most northies don't realize how talented Kamal is. There are ppl who compare Aamir Khan and Kamal which pisses me off. Ameer Khan is about 10% of Kamal at best!

  With dubbed or remade films there has been better success compared to bilinguals which have a cent percent failure record

  t is said that among the 10 roles that Kamal is set to play in Dasavatharam, around 6 to 7 will be easily identifiable as Kamal. But it is going to be quite a task to find out the remaining Kamals in the movie.
  It is rumoured that when the movie release there will be a contest open for the viewers to identify the 10 Kamal Hassan’s in the movie. If this materializes, then it might well be the first time in the world that such a thing happens.
  The challenge of doing such diverse roles in the same movie in a foolproof manner while keeping the viewers guessing is so great that one is not able to even think of anyone other than Kamal Hassan being able to pull it off.
  Kamal is proving that he is not called the Universal Hero for nothing. This movie is almost sure to set a new benchmark in the film industries throughout India and maybe even beyond.
  For now, we all have to wait for the movie to complete production and hit the theatres and then try to find who is Kamal and who is not.

  I am not sure where Kamal gets this thinking from. I mean, I am in the middle of my 20s and still wondering what shirt to wear next day. But yes, when Kamal takes up a new avatar people take this for granted. Meaning.. when Vikram did a role of Pithamaghan they all praised him that he troubles himself when doing such roles. But when Kamal does it, they take it for granted. I watched Avvai Shanmugi yesterday and was really surprised to see the facial expressions, body language (not tamil body ) of Kamal. Oh boyy, even I didnt notice this until yesterday since even I took him for granted that he is Kamal.

  By Moviebuzz | Wednesday, 09 August , 2006, 10:33
  
  Oscar Films V.Ravichandran’s prestigious big budget Kamal Hassan film Dasavatharam directed by K.S.Ravikumar will start rolling from August 18 after the Aadi month comes to an end at a Chennai studio.
  Earlier there were plans to shoot the film at the historic Airavatheeshwarar temple near Kumbakonam, one of the oldest temples in South India. But taking into consideration, the ancient nature of the temple, which was recently declared as a “historic monument”, the state government has refused permission to shoot the film there.
  
  Now a studio set is being created by noted art director Samir Chanda in a Chennai studio and shooting will start on Aug 18 with Kamal and Asin. Mallika Sherawat is expected to join the unit by August end. Kamal will have the look of a Vaishnavite saint in the scenes to be shot on the temple sets which will include a song.
  
  A new development that has taken place is that cameraman Ravi Varman who has been spending quality time on behind-the-scene work of the film has walked out of the project. He has now been replaced by cameraman Jeeva. Meanwhile Himesh Reshammiya, the hot-shot Bollywood music director has recorded two songs which are said to be sure chartbusters

  that pic was taken about 10 years ago..... that nazi pic is not for 10a.... though aandavar does a role similar to saddam also

  Dasavatharam – Airavatheeswarar temple comes to Neelangarai!!
  
  
  
  
  We were the first to tell you about Dasavatharam’s first shot. We had reported on how it was to be filmed at the historic Airavatheeswarar Temple in Darasuram, just outside Kumbakonam.
  
  Well that is still true – except, that marvel of ancient architecture is now being recreated in Chennai and the shooting will happen at the new Airavatheeswarar Temple.
  
  As we had mentioned, there are a lot strict regulations that go with obtaining permission to shoot at the Temple. Napolean, as reported earlier, had played a huge role in helping the crew get the requires clearance from the ministry concerned. The permission that was in fact obtained, it appears, will not be put to use.
  
  
  Locals from Darasuram, who are intensely proud of their great Temple, have voiced serious concerns about the shooting. Many were against it. KS Ravikumar, the director, also considered the prospect of crowd management becoming a hassle. Since it’s a Kamal movie, his fans will throng the place to have a look at the star. That would only add to the already existing problems. So after careful consideration, the venue has been shifted to Chennai.
  
  
  Renowned art director, Samir Chanda came down from Mumbai with a crew of 300. He will recreate every piece of detail of the historic Temple in Chennai. His work is renowned for its flair and perfection. He is also setting the scene up for Manirathnam's Guru. He has worked in such blockbusters as Rang De Basanti, Krrish, Mumbai Express etc.
  
  
  Initially, Campa Cola grounds in Guindy was considered for this purpose as movies like Baba, Anniyan and Virumaandi were shot here. However, since the size of the venue wasn't enough, it was rejected. Now, a 30-acre land near Neelangarai is being considered for recreating the Chola Architecture. The process though, is not all settled. The date of Aug 18 is a stiff target and it all depends the art director Chanda. He is said to be busy and the details of the venue are also becoming a bit of a trouble. Let's hope Kamal and his desire for perfection see this through.

  Sometime back it was told that Bhoomika was supposed to do the Negative role Now its seems Mallika has taken over that role .Between there is no kamal program tomm its seems going by their advertisement but there is a prog with ARR chances are there he would mention something about 10A

  Kamal fans happy
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, August 16, 2006]
  
  
  Good news for all Kamal Haasan fans. After a hilarious outing in Vasool Raja MBBS, director Saran and Kamal Haasan are coming together again.
  
  Kamal Haasan will commence shooting for his much-hyped Dasavatharam in a few days from now. To be directed by K S Ravikumar, the movie features Kamal Haasan in ten different roles.
  
  After completing the shooting for Dasavatharam, it is said that Kamal Haasan and Saran might come together for their movie. Saran himself would produce it. It is supposedly a comical film with Crazy Mohan penning the dialogues.
  
  Saran is directing Arya for Vattaram and busy producing Muni being directed by Lawrence Raghavendra.
  
  So it maybe a hectic season for Kamal fans.

  groucho,
  Your post reflect my thoughts.
  
  One of the avathars looks like a cut&paste from the publicity still of Hey Ram.Another looks like a old brahmin widow.One more looks like a guy who is a martial arts expert.While the Kamal in his original avathar looks like the Madan of MMKR.Wonder how he lost so much weight&managed to look so young in just a couple of months.He was looking so horrible at the VV release function.The rest of the avathars are difficult to place.

  One thing that puzzles me in the movie is the combination. Sujatha, Crazy Mohan. so noone knows whether it is a serious movie or a comedy one. and then the director . whether he is capab. of taking serious subjects is doubtful. and having excellent stunt director etc.
  
  it is going to be a puzzle this story.... hope kamal does not do two mistakes he did before.
  
  1. take a movie like Alavandhan.... the movie was badly presented. it shud hv been a 1.5 hrs movie just with action and nothing else.
  
  2. take a movie like hey ram... though it is a great movie it got diluted in the middle.
  
  hope dasavatharam is going to be a great movie

  i tried to guess the story..
  
  kamal as a software pro comes to USA for living..After sometime
  
  he then tries to think different ways to ways to develop India.
  
  here it may go in two directions..
  1) rang de basanti style of narration.. how old and new generation tries to fight for country (goes little serious)
  
  2) what happens if great people are present in new India.. how they deal with bush and binladen. (more scope for comedy)

  The main Kamal reminds me a lot of Pacino...maybe from People I Know.
  
  But that is definitely present Kamal, with a little bit of airbrushing...or photoshopping if I may.
  
  Whatever it is, it looks like its gonna be a hell of a movie. Hope he shoots it with proper celluloid, instead of the fiasco called digital like in MX.

  would like the movie to be serious one rather than a comical one. kamal has done two comedy movies in a row so far and with no one knowing the fate of VV kamal should do a movie that can get him an award. high time we see another devar magan. can anyone forget the opening scene with kamal's entry froms tation, the panchayat scene and the conversation kamal has with sivaji in the house under rain......... let us wait for a classic. by far the best panchayat scene in any tamil movie is from devar magan......

  Oscar Films to produce Rs 30-cr Kamal starrer
  Flick In Tamil,Telugu And Hindi Will See kamal Don 10 DifferentRoles
  
  CHENNAI-based Oscar Films, a leading film production and distribution company, is producing a Rs 30 crore trilingual film — in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi — called Dasavataram with Kamal Hassan. The film, in which Kamal dons 10 different roles, is set to go on the sets from Friday.
  Oscar Films has also scaled up its production line and is going to produce seven more Tamil films. Most of these films are taken over from other smaller production houses and will be made at a combined cost of additional Rs 30 crore. All these eight films will hit the theatres by the end of Summer, 2007.
  “This is the first time an actor is donning 10 different roles anywhere in the world. While shooting for Dasavataram — an action-packed film which will be shot 25% in the US — will start this Friday, it will hit the theatres on April 14,” said Oscar Films’ V Ravichandran, dubbed the ‘man with the Midas touch’ in the Tamil film industry. Expectedly, the big-budget film has an impressive cast and crew: actors Kamal Hassan, Asin, Mallika Shehrawat; director KS Ravikumar, cinematographer Jeeva and music director Himesh Reshammiya.
  The production design is being handled by Samir Chanda, who is also currently working on Maniratnam’s Guru. In fact, he has built a large Rs 2.5 crore set to recreate a Dharasuram vaishnavaite temple, the oldest in Tamil Nadu, near Chennai.
  “This will be the costliest Tamil film ever produced, in terms of funds invested,” Mr Ravichandran pointed out. IDBI, which initiated Tamil film funding by Oscar’s earlier mega-venture Anniyan, has extended a Rs 8.5 crore line of credit for Dasavataram. The entire film has been covered with United India Insurance for Rs 29 crore including the prominent star cast, the sets and other key areas apart from the stuntmen. This is the highest insurance cover extended so far for any Tamil film.
  Even as this mega-flick sta

  DASA gets VC Fund 8/18/2006 3:38 AM

  VC Funds catch matinee show
  
  TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ FRIDAY, AUGUST 11, 2006 12:45:52 AM]
  
  NEW DELHI: Venture funds are now eyeing Indian movies. Chennai-based Pyramid Saimira Theatre is setting up a $150m fund for production and distribution of regional and Bollywood movies.
  
  The Kamal Hasan-starrer multi-lingual production, Dasavatharam — where the lead actor appears in ten roles — will be its maiden venture with around 50% exposure in the Rs 35 crore-project.
  
  Pyramid Film Fund will unveil itself over the next nine months in three avatars of $50m each — based on the level of risk and exposure, PS Saminathan, managing director, Pyramid Saimira Theatre, told ET.
  
  The Pyramid group will sponsor around 25% of the fund, while the remaining is being raised from venture funds and institutional investors. The movies that the fund finances — mostly in the mid-budget range of Rs 5-10 crore — will be distributed and exhibited by Pyramid group through its country-wide theatre chain.
  
  Pyramid group, which is currently focused on exhibition markets in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka with around 120 screens, has chalked out plans for country-wide presence with around 2,000 screens by December ‘07. As part of its foray into north India, the group has tied up with Delhi-based developer Spirit Global for presence in 60 malls across Punjab.
  
  Mr Saminathan said each project that the fund invests in would be evaluated in terms of risks. The fund will at best have 50% exposure in the film project, with the remaining corpus brought in by the producer and the exhibitor —in this case Pyramid Saimira Theatre. Under the low-risk fund, the returns to the fund are assured, irrespective of the financial performance of the film.
  
  Under the mid-risk fund, while the principal amount disbursed will be assured, the return over investment will be linked to the business generated. The fund will enter into revenue-sharing agreements with producers for all investments made through its high-risk fund. KPMG is currently working out the structure of the three funds and the risk parameters they will work under.
  
  Mr Saminathan said the funds’ first project, Dasavatharam, will be released with over 1,000 prints across the country in April next year, and dubbed in several regional languages, including Hindi and Telugu. Talks are currently on to finance few Bollywood movies, including several regional language ones.
  
  Over the last three-four years several corporates, including the ADAG, Tata and Aditya Birla groups have set aside corpus for financing and distribution of movies.

  Dasavatharam with Madisar Mamis in Uthandi, ECR Aug 23, 2006
  
  
  Dasavatharam the much-awaited movie of Kamal Hassan finally began at Uthandi on ECR last week. We had a detailed account of this in our website.
  
  The first shoot was that of a song that got picturised on the mammoth set created by Sameer Chandra from Bollywood. As reported earlier this set is the replica of Airavatheeswarar temple at Darasuram in Kumbakonam.
  
  
  Though shooting was initially scheduled to commence at this temple, permission to shoot was withdrawn later as the temple comes under the category of heritage site and shooting of such a grandeur stature would definitely disturb the sanctity of the temple. Considering these factors, Sameer Chandra from Mumbai was brought down to recreate the temple magic.
  
  The song that is being shot at Uthandi has Kamal in an Iyengar get-up and, this would be his intro song. Fifty ladies as ‘madisar mamis’ and hundred men were dressed up in a typical filmi style. The total extras were a whopping number of more than 750.
  
  
  
  
  We had earlier reported that the scene would also feature 100 elephants along with Kamal. But industry sources reveal that it is almost an impossible task to transport so many elephants, take care of their needs etc. They should also be very careful as not to antagonize the animal welfare people. Taking all these into consideration, the song may have been shot with a fewer number of elephants. Watch this space for more updates.

  Kamal to turn hairless soon for Dasavatharam Aug 29, 2006
  
  
  When it comes to a complete makeover or a partial makeover for the sake of the roles onscreen, Kamal tops the list of heroes willing to take risk. It is widely known that Kamal plays 10 different roles in the movie Dasavatharam – just as the title symbolizes.
  
  We have news that Kamal is shaving his head off for one of the roles of Dasavatharam – we do not definitely suppose it is for the blind myth that movies run well if the hero shaves his head off, as the tradition goes way back to the success of Gentleman. Kamal is no such actor who goes by myths.
  
  
  
  
  Kamal plans to attend all the functions, which he had agreed to before he embraces the shaven look, for he wants his look to be a secret kept away from the media probably to shun excess publicity – as is happened in the case of Aalavandhan. Endure a nail-biting wait till the movie hits the screens to have a big feast of 10 Kamals. No worries, we keep you updating on that every now and then as well.

  Ravi’s replacement Jeeva who worked four days for the project has gone back to his mentor Priyadarsan’s new Hindi film Bhaagam Bhaag which is being shot in Chennai.
  
  A pleased Ravi Varman who is receiving a lot of accolades for his work in Vetayadu Vilayadu is happy that producer ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran has agreed to all his terms regarding the making of the film.
  
  Now Dasavathaar will be processed at Kodak Film Lab in Mumbai, the latest and most expensive in India. Remember Shankar too will be processing his Sivaji at the Kodak lab.
  
  I thought namma Prasad Lab (FX) was the best ...

  The clash of titans!
  By Moviebuzz | Tuesday, 05 September , 2006, 12:53
  The Kamal Hassan-Rajnikanth battle at the Tamilnadu box-office has been raging for the last 25 years. Though both claim that they are best of friends, there are few takers for their Dost-Dost theory!
  
  Now it looks like Kamal’s Dasavatharam will take on Rajnikanth’s Sivaji at 2007 summer box-office. For Rajni, April has always been lucky. Two of his blockbusters Padayappa (April 5, 2000) and Chandramukhi (April 14, 2005) were summer releases.
  
  Already producer ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran has told the trade that he is looking for an April 14, 2007 release for his Dasavatharam. He is reported to have sent letters to the “collection king”- Sathyam Cinemas in Chennai, Baba Complex in Coimbatore and a few other theatres requesting them to block their big screens for Dasavatharam for April 14.
  
  As everybody knows, it will the battle for ‘Opening’ that will decide the winner. Though AVM refuses to talk about the release date of Sivaji, sources close to Shankar confirms that it will be a 2007 summer release. For Shankar, summer holidays have always worked (Indian, Jeans, Anniyan).
  
  Chandramukhi released with nearly 205 prints in Tamilnadu alone while Sivaji may touch the magic figure of 300! At Rs 10 Lakhs MG per print it works out to a cool Rs 30 Crore before release! Rajnikanth is the emperor and has a reach from A, B to C stations. Check out the Daily Collection Report (DCR) of Vetayadu Vilayadu in smaller stations and you will know the difference.
  
  At the same time, Kamal is supported this time by the marketing wizard ‘Oscar’ Ravichandran, who has 8 to 10 releases a year. Ravi is the only producer-distributor who can mange to get an MG even from C stations! At the grassroot level, he has tremendous clout and reach among theatres in Tamilnadu.
  
  Kamal Hassan is really lucky that he has the backing of ‘Oscar’ Films, which will ensure that Dasavatharam will be able to take on the might of Rajnikanth and Shankar combo along with AVM’s banner value!

  and making of 10 A is not an easy job, even for kamal, man, 10 roles, and makeup,

  this is already pasted here......they say kamal is luck to get oscar ravi, and what they forgot to say is its rajini who is more lucky to get shankar as his director, or else, sivaji could easily join the lines of pandiyan \ ejamaan \ uzaippaali \ arunaachalam \ veera ect.
  
  i feel that its better to call Kamal Vs Shankar, as KSR and rajni has quite or no brainwork to make into their respective films.

  You might wanna take it easy with that statement.
  
  Comparing Kamal to Shankar is giving Shankar too much credit. If you read my review on Anniyan, you will realise how much of brainwork I thought Shankar had put in it.
  
  Likewise, it would be unwise to say that Rajini has not put any brainwork in his films. Sivaji is tailored for Rajini, and Rajini alone. Period.
  
  As for KSR, though I am not a big fan of his (unless he directs Kamal or Rajini) he is just a hack director.
  
  So, let us just say that Oscar Ravi and KSR are lucky to get Kamal and Sivaji and AVM are lucky to get Rajini.

  Please do not say there is no brainwork or things like that. It's true that rajini's movies of the current lot are not much offbeat and they are out and out entertainers, but even to do a out and out entertainer and make sure they are blockbuster,super hits you have to really move it to the audience. Put any other actor in rajini's place and the movie looks quite ordinary and really nothing inside to touch the audience except kamal. But put Rajini and he brings out the emotions whether its comedy,sentiment or action and it just reaches out to the audience perfectly. That's why his mass movies are blockbuster/super hits.
  
  As for brainwork rajini knows what movies click for him cause deny it or not, this is business and at times you have to put away desires if you want to really succeed. Both Kamal and Rajini know the pulse of the audience in terms of what the audience expect from them and they always put their brainwork in that sense.
  
  Alright lets not bring rajini in this thread and keep the discussion to kamal. I just cant see why both fans cant appreciate both actors for what they have done. Why does it have to be so mundane?

  Dasavatharam: Atheist Kamal and Lord Ranganathar Sep 12, 2006
  
  
  When there are so many rumours doing the round about the story line of Kamal starrer Dasavatharam, the latest one appears to be more authentic and interesting. Kamal donning ten different roles in this film is old news. Viewers may recall that behindwoods has also reported about it on the day of the launch of the movie.
  
  Out of the ten avatars of Kamal, one avatar is that of a king who rules our land 500 years back. Kamal also takes on the role of an atheist, which in all probability is very dear to him as he is a hard-core atheist in real life also. A spiritual, religious Iyengar who is well versed in Vedas forms the other role. Kamal also would be featuring as Customs officer and a lawyer. The story line goes thus-an idol of God is being smuggled out of India centuries ago and how it is brought back forms the crux of the story. The film begins with the historical background about how idols are being made. Knowing the style of functioning of Kamal, we can be sure to have exhaustive details on the same.
  
  
  
  
  Smuggling of idols happens during contemporary times. The highlight of the movie is how atheist Kamal helps in bringing the idols back to our country from the foreign hold. A scene where Kamal immerses the statue of Lord Ranganthar in the sea was also shot recently in Utthandi.

  A CASE AGAINST 10A
  
  kamal’s Dasavatharam is in doldrums now. A youth by name Senthilkumar from Tambaram has lodged a complaint to the Commissioner of Police Ms Letika Saran that Kamal Hassan has plagiarized his story for Dasavatharam and the filming should be stopped immediately.
  
  According to the complainant, he had sent a copy of his story by registered post to Kamal’s production office at TTK Road. Later Kamal’s assistant by name Murali had telephoned him indicating Kamal’s wish to meet him. Hence on August 6th, Senthilkumar met Murali in Kamal’s office and handed over a photocopy of the script as per Murali’s request because Murali felt that Kamal needed to read the entire script. After a week’s time, Senthilkumar was shocked to find an announcement in the media regarding a new movie by name Dasavatharam with his storyline.
  When Murali was enquired on this by Senthilkumar, the former assured him that Kamal would use Senthil as an assistant director in the film and he would be compensated accordingly. But the film has already begun shooting with no intimation whatsoever to Senthilkumar on this. Senthilkumar also claims that he was threatened by Murali when he contacted him later when he came to know that shooting had begun. Irked by this, he has approached the police to render justice to him. Commissioner has ordered an enquiry into this.

  [tscii]Kamal ready to face police enquiry Sep 14, 2006
  
  
  Dasavatharam has already begun creating ripples in the industry – more so for the allegation about script theft by Senthilkumar. We have carried a report on the claims made by Senthilkumar who resides in Tambaram claiming that the script of Dasavatharam belongs to him and Kamal has used the script without his permission and not paying any compensation whatsoever.
  
  Kamal’s PRO has come out with a statement denying charges and the claims made by Senthilkumar stating that Kamal has nothing to do with these allegations and is busy with other things and does not want to waste time on trivial things like this by answering to the media. He added that Kamal would face a police enquiry if they take up the case and needed Kamal’s statement on this.
  
  In the meantime, Murali – the employee of Rajkamal films who was allegedly been in touch with Senthilkumar - has reportedly spoken to press stating that he is not aware of any Senthilkumar and does not even know how Senthilkumar claims to have spoken to him
  
  Amidst all the confusions, Kamal’s much-expected Dasavatharam is progressing on the East Coast Road in magnificent sets. Kamal is planning to break Sivaji Ganesan’s record of 9 roles in Navaratri by donning 10 roles in Dasavatharam.

  Kamal’s kudumi and a cap
  
  
  If one has been watching Page 3 closely over the past two weeks, one must have noticed something unusual. Kamal Hassan attended a few functions during this period and the news is about him. The news is that he is always seen only with a cap on. Why this cap as a constant? The reason is easy to guess, he recently tonsured his head for the shoot of Dasavathaaram. So he wants to cover his barren head until some hair grows back, not exactly.
  
  What he wants to cover is the little bit of hair that remains on his head. Why? That is the obvious question.
  
  
  
  
  Well, the hair that is left on his head is not the usual type. It is a characteristic tuft (kudumi) sported by Iyers. This is for that portion of the movie where he plays an Iyer of the 15th century.
  
  He does not want anyone to get a sneak peek into how he would look like in this highly awaited movie. He wants to keep suspense till the very last. So he is taking extra care to see to it that no one sees the tuft. Hence the cap. Recently at the Surya-Jyothika wedding, there were people who were more interested in seeing the tuft of Kamal rather than the newly weds. This explains why Kamal has to be extra careful.
  
  The reports are that as Dasavatharam progresses into the more crucial stages, one will see lesser and lesser of Kamal at public functions.
  
  
  
  He doesn’t want to let anything out until the movie actually hits the screens.

  Dasavatharam at AVM – blasted bhoomi spews Kamal
  
  We have been updating you with the small tidbits that happen to leak through the sets of Dasavatharam. The rest, we have to leave to imagination to unravel. However, one thing is sure, this one is going to be different and is going to make everyone sit up and take notice. The latest from the sets of Dasavatharam is ‘ground breaking’, literally.
  
  The news is that a scene was recently shot at the AV M studios in Chennai that involved Kamal emerging from within earth in an explosive manner (similar to that of Varagha Avatar of Maha Vishnu). The scene will be spruced up with graphics before it comes on screen. This is all that was available from the sets of the movie.
  
  Kamal fans might be worried about the fact that some youngster is preparing to file a lawsuit against Kamal for reportedly plagiarizing his story for Dasavatharam.
  
  
  
  When asked about this, Kamal appeared very confident. He said that the only two persons who knew the story were himself and director KS Ravikumar and that he was prepared to undergo any kind of trial and that he would come clean. When producer Oscar Ravichandran was asked whether he was concerned about the developments, he said that he trusted Kamal and KSR completely. It is evident in the way he is pumping in the money and keeping the project going at full speed.
  
  
  
  The movie will release along with Rajini’s Sivaji in all likelihood. Ravichandran was also quick to add that he too was not aware about what the storyline of the movie was. His belief must be commended, which producer would fund a movie without listening to the sortie and the script. Eagerly waiting for the release of the movie, but that is nearly six months away. But then we might get such interesting bits about the movie along the way, keep watching.

  Dasavatharam: Sameer Chanda out, Prabhakar in Sep 18, 2006
  
  
  The shooting for Dasavatharam is picking up speed by the day. Oscar Ravichandran is putting no stops on the money, the script has been pre-written and well discussed in advance, K S Ravikumar is as fast as ever and Kamal wants the movie out for Tamil New Year. All factors combined, the shooting is progressing at a frenetic pace and some people are just not able to keep up.
  
  We had reported that Sameer Chanda was the art director for the movie. But his work has not been able to match the pace of Kamal and K.S.R. He always seems to have to bring people in from Mumbai for the work to be done and this has resulted in delays. So, after deliberation, K.S.R and Kamal have decided that they have enough of delays and sacked Sameer Chanda. Sameer had earlier worked with Kamal for Aalavandhan and is currently working for Mani’s Guru.
  
  The replacement drafted in is Prabhakar. He is the man who designed the sets for Virumaandi and then got the state award for his work in Cheran’s Autograph. It remains to be seen whether he can match the pace of this swift working combination.
  
  
  
  This is the second technical change for Dasavatharam. Earlier there was a big confusion as to who would be the cameraman until finally they settled for Ravivarman. Whether such constant changes will affect the way in which the movie is made is a cause for concern. Let’s hope that these do not reflect on the movie.

  Kamal’s ‘Dasavataram’ has change of title!
  - 20.09.2006
  Ever since the CM, M Karunanidhi announced tax exemptions for films with pure Tamil titles, so many films with originally intended English titles, went about changing them to Tamil titles to avail of the tax exemption.
  
  
  
  
  One such in this list is Kamal’s ‘Dasavataram’ meaning 10 avatars. Since dasa is a north Indian word, the title has been changed now to ‘Padhitru Pathu.’ Will viewers in the B & C centres be able to even pronounce this? That apart, there’s another problem for ‘Dasavataram.’
  
  
  
  Since the story starts from the 18th century time frame, it would be necessary to feature animals like horses and elephants. This necessitates a No Objection certificate from the Animal Welfare Department to get clearance from the Censor Board. When a number of horses and elephants are to be featured, the situation becomes dicey.
  
  
  
  To add to this, an assistant director insists that the ‘Dasavataram’ story is his. So the unit has its work cut out in dealing with the title problem, Censor Board as well as this assistant director!
  
  
  
  
  Amidst all these issues, the shooting for ‘Dasavataram’ is going on smoothly. Director KS Ravikumar has shot many scenes involving Kamal and Asin. He wants to release it as competition for ‘Sivaji’!
  
  
  
  As long as he does not trip in his hurry, it is fine!

  Real stupidity and narrow mindedness of fanatics I would say. I dont understand how a movie title in "Pure" Thamizh is going to save the language Thamizh when everything other than the title is a total contradition to the so called thamizh and thamizh culture. At this rate they can make movies only of baagavadhar kinds - where more than half the words will not be understood by many.

  Dasavatar is already going to speak telugu and hindi, in 1000 prints. thats not the point.
  
  dasavatar name is anticipated to change (PathiTruPaTHu)
  as i feel sivaji too is not a tmil name, and if they want to get claim in entertainment tax, they have to change the title to a pure tamil word, in TAMILNADU.

  Bay Thampi,
  Cool down! Here nobody intruding with freedom .Govt is not forcing you to put Tamil name ,but If you put Tamil name ,you will get tax relaxation ,otherwise as usual tax ,no additional tax ,no punishment..Understand? ..If you put non-Tamil name ,you can't expect Tax relaxation ,plain and simple.

  The article says the scenes which have been shot in the ECR are about a Choza emperor and the period in which the state forced Saivishm on followers of other sects. And Aandavar is supposedly playing a character called some bhattar [like cancer i also forgot the first name ]
  The article explains that according to history/myth, when he refuses to accept [by signing on an olai] that Saivism is the most superior sect, the emperor orders that his eyes be gorged out. The bhattar, goes one step further and gorges his eyes out with his own fingers.
  Napolean plays the ruler
  I think the article also talks about the title change...
  
  
  P:S: I remember reading in a thamizh magazine about actor Chandrasekhar's complaint on Virumaandi's story in 2003/2004. The whole episode as said by Chandrasekar in the article was covered in the one riveting song - "Kaumathur Kaatukulle"

  Kamal Hassan's 'Dasavataram' is in its making and going on at good pace. The film is going to show puranas in news style, depicting the contemporary society.
  
  The tentative theme of the film was unleashed a few hours ago. Kamal is portraying the roles of orthodox Brahmin, a Karate Fighter, a dwarf, a scientist, a spy, an out cast person, a dark man, , a robber, a philosopher and a special role. There is corresponding similarity to all the roles played by him and the Dasavatarams. Look here:
  
  Spy- Matsya
  Scientist- Kurma
  An Outcast- Varaha
  Karate Fighter- Narasimha
  Dwarf- Vamana
  Brahmin- Parasu Rama
  Dark Man- Rama
  Robber- Krishna
  Philosopher- Buddha
  ?- Kalki
  
  Well, who would be Kalki, the tenth incarnation? That will be shown on screen in grand way. The film is going to interpret 10 incarnations of Lord in modern times. All 10 characters will be independent and go as single episodes.
  
  Now, interest on this film is multiplying. Isn't it?

  Jayaprada joins `Dashaavtar`!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Friday, 29 September , 2006, 16:54
  
  Jayaprada is the latest addition to the Dashaavtar heroine bandwagon. She joined the unit in Chennai on Thursday and is said to have an important role. She is being paired with one of the 10 Kamal Hassan’s in the film.
  Jayaprada was Kamal’s heroine in the classic K.Viswanath directed Sagara Sangamam on classical dance. Now after nearly two decades, they are coming together in Dashaavtar.

  Here is my idea for the tenth role..come on people you guys can also make your guesses.
  
  Traditional Dasaavatharam - Kalki
  - Said to cleanse the world of sins, set justice right and return the world to its normal ways and destroy evildoers.
  
  Movie storyline
  - Runs around the stealing of this ranganathar statue and how he returns it
  
  Last avatharam as of the movie.
  - Knowing kamal's atheism and very realistic approach to life, this tenth role could be his own message to the society about the lust for money/statue or it might be destroying the people who threaten to misuse the statue for evil's sake.

  If the film is going in the above way, then it will be a confusion for viewers. It will be like 15 mins trailer for EACH FILM (15 x 10 = 150 mins, 2 1/2 hrs). The cast's should be some how have link between them, like michael madhana kama raajan.

  If there is one complete professional in Indian cinema, it is Kamal Hassan. He is extremely passionate about his work and takes great care and pain on how his roles shape out.
  The first 30-days schedule of Dasavatharam is getting over today (October 2) in Chennai. Nearly 25 percent of the film is complete and director K.S.Ravikumar has to take the credit for this along with other technicians. But it is Kamal who deserves all the applause for this achievement.
  Kamal is on the sets at sharp 4am, in the wee hours of morning and after a four- hour make-up he is ready. When he comes out of his caravan at 8am for the shot, no one wishes him…why? They simply can’t recognize him!!
  Yes, Kamal transforms himself into a different person, nobody can identify with Kamal-the star! It is indeed a triumph for the actor and his make-up methods. Kamal is on a liquid diet till 6pm in the evening when Ravikumar says “Pack Up!” Then it takes another two hours to remove the make-up.
  And from 8.30 to 10.30 pm, Kamal sits with Ravikumar, cameraman Ravi Varman and writers to discuss about the next day’s shoot. Finally everyday, Kamal hits the sack by midnight for a three to four hour sleep.
  Says Oscar Ravichandran, the producer of Dasavatharam: “It is Kamal Hassan’s commitment, devotion and professionalism that is the driving force behind the film. I should also thank Ravikumar and his team who are simply amazing with the kind of speed and quality of work they have undertaken”.
  Dasavatharam shoot is progressing on clockwork precision and is right on schedule. The entire shoot will be over by January 15, 2007 and after a three –month post production work including graphics and special effects, the big-budget extravaganza will be ready for release on April 14, 2007 in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

  Dasavatharam progresses at rapid pace
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, September 30, 2006]
  
  
  
  As we have been writing regularly, the shooting for Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam is progressing at quick pace. Director K S Ravikumar, known for churning out his films a great pace without compromising on the quality is engrossed with the project.
  
  For the last couple of days, Dasavatharam was shot at Film City in Chennai where a huge set was put up.
  
  Scenes involving Kamal Haasan and Mallika Sherawat were being shot. It is perhaps for the first time, Mallika Sherawat was in Chennai to shoot for the movie.
  
  Earlier the first schedule of the movie was canned at huge sets replicating huge temples was put up at Uthandi and few scenes featuring Kamal Haasan was shot.
  
  Dasavatharam, being produced by Oscar Films, features Kamal Haasan in different ten roles and would be completed early next years and released on 14 April, 2007.
  
  Meanwhile, it is also learnt that Jayapradha whose pairing with Kamal in films like Salangai Oli sent many hearts aflutter, is also set to be part of the project.
  
  Asin is of course is expected to play the heroine

  I hope he does get some sleep when they are wearing and removing the make up otherwise it is really bad for his health which is quite worrying.

  Mallika a sensuous CIA agent in Dasavatharam
  Oct 07, 2006
  
  Mallika Sherawat appearing in Dasavatharam is old news. But her role seems to be very interesting. Reliable source revealed that the sultry actress has donned on the role of a CIA agent.
  Mallika sherawat
  
  
  In one of the interviews, Kamal had disclosed about the keen interest that was evinced by Mallika to feature in his film. Mallika’s sweet turn around for an aye to Kamal came as a big surprise to him where other leading Hindi actresses turned a cold shoulder.
  
  Director K S Ravikumar is all praise for this seductress. He is surprised by her professionalism and punctuality. But of course, when it comes to professionalism and sincerity, nobody can come closer to Kamal who is at the sets at 3 AM for his make-up session to be ready by 7 AM for the shot.
  
  The two leading ladies of the film are Asin and Mallika Sherawat. When the director was questioned about the role of Mallika, he said that she comes across as a bold and beautiful intelligence agent. As is expected, Kamal and Mallika would have some passionate sequences together.
  
  The film is on a mammoth budget of Rs 30 crores. An all-new make up team under the supervision of Michael Westmore from Los Angeles has taken the responsibility of total transformation of the stars under arc lights. This bilingual film in Tamil and Hindi would be ready for release in August 2007.

  Surya two reasons

  2) Mallikka has a huge reputation if not the most "publicity pulling" image among actresses in india..so thats another reason she is inside.

  Apparently the crew were after Vidhya Balan. As she was busy with Guru, I reckon they've opted for Mallika. Last time I checked there was a news that Vidhya might still be a part of the project but nothing concrete

  Hope so.. If all 10 avatars are going to be comedy characters, then i think the film itself will become a total comedy. I hope it does not happen that way and we can see some serious stuff there to compensate all the hard work done.

  Will Sivaji and Dasavatharam suffer a setback in release?
  Oct 11, 2006
  
  Movies of other languages are not released in Karnataka on their release date elsewhere. The release of Stalin has challenged this rule and is receiving brickbats from the Karnataka film association and its Chairman H D Gangaraj.
  Sivaji
  
  
  In a press release recently, Gangaraj criticized the producer of Stalin for releasing the flick on the same day in Karnataka of its release elsewhere. He also stated that a complaint would be lodged against the producer with the Telugu Film Chamber for not respecting the guidelines.
  
  Earlier, Rajini’s Baba faced trouble for its release in Karnataka on the same day of its release all over. Rajini elevated the matter to the veteran of Kannada cinema Rajkumar and held discussions with him to resolve the issue. Eventually, Rajkumar agreed to the release of Baba in Karnataka marking an end to the concerns.
  
  Under these circumstances, Rajini’s upcoming Sivaji is due for release during mid 2007 and if the Karnataka film association raises the issue again, the movie is likely to face trouble for its release. Now that Rajkumar has passed away, it remains to be seen what will be the stand of the Karnataka film association for the release of the movie. So is the plight of Kamal’s Dasavatharam. Besides, Tamil movies make good business in Karnataka than Kannada movies.

  This is just a question:
  It seems like the media is trying to follow dasa's shooting closely and leak details just like how they did it for aalavanthaan. Towards release expectations went sky high for aalavanthaan, the film crashed at BO, more importantly kamal lost some fan base, Especially the mud slinging between kamal and dhanu which potrayed kamal as the bad guy all these incidents made me feel sorry for kamal.
  I hope the same thing does not happen for Dasa, in case it does would it crush the fan base.
  I sincerely hope Dasa works at the BO.

  oh my kamal.... i cant believe this...
  
  Avvai Shanmughi
  
  
  Kamal’s upcoming mega movie Dasavatharam is evolving day in and day out in and around Chennai. As you may be aware, Kamal is donning 10 different roles in the flick in an attempt to surpass the veteran Sivaji Ganeshan’s effort in Navarathri. The roles are kept under cover from the media but every now and then news seeps out of the sets of Dasavatharam.
  
  Recently, credible sources revealed that Kamal would be seen in the costume of a beautiful girl in Dasavatharam. Not the same kind he enacted in Avvai Shanmughi, however, Kamal dons the role of a beautiful young damsel for Dasavatharam.
  
  It is reported that Kamal spends 3 hours in front of the mirror in the green room to carry out the makeup for the part. And there happens the transformation. Eyewitnesses stated that Kamal is unidentifiable with that costume and it is easy to misconstrue Kamal for a beautiful lady. Will Kamal outdo his performance in Avvai Shanmughi? The answer can only be screen onscreen.

  BTW I also heard that the name of the movie is changed to "pathitru paththu" not sure if this came in any onliners yet.

  This is the latest news from the sets of ‘Dasavatharam’. As per Kollywood buzz, the ten characters that Kamal is portraying in this film is said to revolve around the statue of Ranganathar. In short Lord Ranganathar plays a pivotal role in this film.
  
  One of the characters that Kamal would be playing in this film is Udhaar Mani. As the name suggests, this Kamal is a tourist guide with the gift of the gab and spins yarns and yarns to tourists to impress them.
  
  Making use of the latest technology in graphics, he has his picture taken with all the leading figures in the country and brags about them to naïve tourists. The unit folks are totally tight lipped especially about this character. Anyway, till the next news arrives, happy reading…
  
  
  seems to be a very funny and interesting character.. talaivar will kalakkify as usual...

  Guys one another important point:
  
  So far, kamal is the only tamil actor, who used good english in our tamil movies. To the limelight, this time even english dialogues has reached lot of B & C centres.
  
  Here are some good scenarios :
  
  1. I was married then...( Kamal to jyothika)
  2. Why, why to me (Kamal to Prakashraj , also Prakash raj to kamal after her daughter's brutal demise)
  3. Ofcourse the loveable language( between kamalini and Kamalji)..
  4. We are searching for a an Indian ( kamal to hollywood actor Anderson)
  5. His 5 mts speech to the NYPD( pressmeet with USA reporters)..
  
  
  Infact, these english dialogues reached all the three centers very effectively. That is one another cause for such a big hit in the BO.
  
  P:N: Even he had english dialogues in ALavandan and Hey Raam. But those are considered to be tooooooooo HIgh-figh for tamil movie goers.
  
  It's just a thought. ..
  
  
  Anbe Sivam.. Ariveh Kaduvul.. Kalayeh...un peyarthan Kamala...

  Yesterday i met some die hard kamal fans, who took part in 10A shooting for a week at uthandi......
  
  They told abt some scenes which were shot... one such scene, seems great... aandavar is suspended upside down and thrown into the sea.... Napoleon , the king is riding a horse hands out the punishment to aandavar with 1000's of people lead by asin follow this procession weeping... aandavar was really suspended for this scene and he never used any dupes... he is absolutely fit with a well built body... he did wear a kudumi.. they also told that a very good melodious song
  
  " kadavulai kandal kallum karaiyum " was played in the background..... and they couldnt stop raving abt many such scenes....
  
  about 40% of the movie is over it seems ... the roles that were shot till now are
  1. medival iyengar
  2. foreigner
  3. young woman
  4. old paati
  now the shooting is progressing at AVM studios...
  
  and it seems that none of the unit people have any clue abt the story...

  Dasavatharam won’t get released as it is.
  
  It's basically a sanskrit name and to avail tax exemptions Oscar must go for a name change although Kamal might sternly oppose and try something different as usual by bringing in some unrelated verses from Tholkappiyam and arguing its a purely Tamil name as Seethali Sattanar’s brother also had a similar opinion like him.
  
  Nevertheless I don’t foresee Oscar being thick enough to cling on to this title and losing out money in the process. May be the thread starter must delete this topic and give this argument a rest.

  I guess the tax breaks must be too juicy to resist.
  
  You can rename Godfather as Varalaaru or boogOLam and it wouldn't make the slightest difference. But titles in Kamalwritten films are so deeply woven into the story that an alternate title is always going to be less appropriate.
  
  It is going to be 3 years but I am still griping over how beautiful it would have been, had the movie been remembered as Sandiyar.
  
  I remember once in Sujatha's katrathum he petrathum he listed a bunch of very commonly used Tamil words and then showed they were all borrowed from Sanskrit,Persian,Turkish,Telugu etc.
  
  Similarly Dasavatharam is an expression that has worked its way into Tamil. I think the law, if at all, should be directed towards English titles. How long back will they go etymologically to weed out non-Tamil influences ?

  From the news that there are 10 kamals Dasavatharam just stood up. The only connection is now going to be a the patthu in Paditruppatthu. As far as I know it owes its etymology to being organized as bunches of ten songs (which I guess is common to several old Tamil texts). So I doubt if 10 has any special relevance. So it will just hang in there like the 5 in Panchathanthiram.
  
  I don't know what Pathitruppatthu is about. Wikipedia says it is a collection of songs about Chera kings.
  
  Or Kamal may go ahead with the absurdity of it just to spite the rule.
  Sort of like an inside joke (think Balu MAhendra's Neengal KEtttavai). That may be cool

  Dear x,
  
  According to this article Kamal’s salary as 7.5 crores for 10 A that apparently boils down to 75Lakh per get up along with Kerela rights. Almost all Kamal fans including Aandavan and raasa_rasigan admit the content was nicely written and credible.
  
  If there is an ounce of truth in that article then Ganjamohideen or Manickam Narayanan or seventh channel whatever name he is called --- should’ve paid Kamal only 75 lakhs for VV…of course excluding the Kerela rights.

  he may have given each department to respective heads to reduce his burden, i dont say that he dunbs sujatha\ksr and crazy but there are no chances that others feed him, they only may provide him hints\corrections\suggestions and content wise, maybe a FEW additions. but the core story, screenplay, the order to show each avatar, and all other important nuances will and would be decided one and only by Dokter Kamal
  
  no doubt in this
  
  recently sujatha has said that its kamal who creates develops feeds and destroyes each of the character. when that is done by kamal, what more big thing is left, also its kamal who wished to do a 'dark-comedy' and so its his own work, with other's support

  forex i hav never seen such a duferent vidyasagar like what was in anbesivam - the quality was illayaraajayic
  
  likewise ksr will bring his best, within the limits allowed by kamal. mayby ksr wont sacrifice the same for any other actor except kamal, bcos kamal the directer has outbeaten ksr the directior, in a way. so ksr will happily work like the way of santhanabarathi, in dasa, as its a rare and very interesting project.
  
  thatwhy i said, its a clash between director shankar and director kamal
  
  even actor kamal is going to be in [mental]control of director kamal and physically bu ksr's control

  I would like to quote what SKV has mentioned before. Shankar had the luxury for going big like great MD , amazing cameraman ,technicians etc etc. Its not the case with KSR and he would make few profits to his producers Nattamai , Muthu , Padayappa , Thenali , avvai shanmughi were block busters

  ithula enna doubt. Himesh yaarunnu kooda theriyaathu tamil naattla niraya perukku. Even Hindi music listeners curse him. How come he has become so famous? Yuvan or Harris cud have been better if not ARR.

  thankfully Varalaaru has relieved him of that pressure.......so ARR goes to shivaji with a huge hit under his belt.......
  
  and if u r talking abt music album then all his previous albums - SOK,Aa Aah,New, AE have all been hits.......
  
  btw, i love Himesh's songs.....he is good when he doesent sing.....i wont be surprised if he springs 2-3 chartbusters in 10A......

  Varalaru..IMO..is an avg album. I could not listen to half the songs due to the awful lyrics. I think in his recent tamil offering SOK stands apart(thanks for a song like Newyork Nagaram)
  
  Shankar-ARR is a dream combo, it will sink every other album including 10A .
  10A as a movie will do much better.
  
  Btw, the last Rajni movie I really enjoyed watching was Muthu, Baatcha..CM was pathetic. So I am really looking forward to Sivaji.

  also, i guess nobody seems to be asking "what happened to the 5 MD idea" for 10A which ultimately drove ARR out of this project......or is it like Kamal meant Himesh is equal to 5 MDs???

  yeah..Innisai and Theeyil Vizhuntha are good,esp the latter with its sufi touch is simply haunting But then thats why i said KSR movies rarely have good songs...Some others that come to mind are Athini Chithini and Alangkatti Mazhai in Tenali and also the theme music in Padayappa..All his songs with Deva are crap..
  
  The 5 MD thing..I really dont know..I guess it was just another gossip doing the rounds at that time..Or maybe Oscar Ravi didnt take the idea of paying 5 different MD's too kindly.. The guy does splash a lotta cash but 5 MD's for a movie is stretching it...

  Mallika is down-to-earth person: Ravi
  
  
  
  Cinematographer Ravi Varman who won critical acclaim for his work in the film Vettayadu Vilayadu, is currently busy with the Kamal Haasan starrer Dasavadharam.
  
  The cinematographer revealed that this much-anticipated film was shaping up well. "Since Kamal sir is playing 10 different roles, the film is quite a challenge for me. In certain scenes, each frame has Kamal sir in five or six avatars so we have to shoot the scene five times over to be able to string them together," he says.
  
  He also adds that the film is set in the 12th century therefore it has been shot in a different colour tone.
  
  Ravi finds that Mallika Sherawat, who has completed seven days of shooting, is a very down-to-earth person. He says, "She has no airs about herself. If the shooting is supposed to begin at 7 am, she will report at 6.45 am with her makeup done. That’s how dedicated she is."
  
  Ravi is also thrilled about the fact that he has been given the opportunity to learn many new things, as the shooting of the film progresses. Although he is tight-lipped about the rest of the film, he promises that Dasavadharam will give the audience a whole new experience in filmmaking.
  
  According to the grapevine the unit will be travelling to the US, where a part of the film, including a song, will be shot in four different locations that includes New York, Boston, Washington and Los Angeles.
  
  Also it was recently revealed that one of the roles that Kamal Haasan will don is of a woman who is a dwarf.

  The gift Kamal gave to Mallika Sherawat
  Kamal has recently joined the wonder list of Mallika.
  
  Mallika has acted in ‘Dasavataram.’ Even after returning to Bollywood, she could not get over Kamal. She has been eloquent in her praise for Kamal every time she opens her mouth.
  Kamal’s punctuality attracted her the most. “Kamalji arrives half an hour before shooting, when ever it is scheduled. It was impossible for me to arrive even 5 minutes before him,” Mallika says with wide eyes.
  She claims that acting with Kamal is an unforgettable experience in life. Kamal had gifted her with the DVD of the film ‘The Holy Grail.’ “The film that Kamalji gave is very interesting. It is full of comedy,” said Mallika. She had shown a high degree of glamour in ‘Dasavataram’ equal to those of her Bollywood films.
  
  They are yet to shoot some scenes involving Kamal and Sherawat. Most likely they will be shot in America. K S Ravikumar is eager to release the film on the same day of ‘Sivaji’s release.
  Hasn’t K S Ravikumar got out of his anger towards Jakkubai?

  Kamal Pulls a trick on Ravivarman
  Nov 09, 2006
  
  Here is the latest update on Kamal's magnum opus Dasavatharam.As we all know Kamal essays 10 different roles in this movie.The 10 roles include, A King, A Villain, A young man, A foreigner, A Skinny weakling, A body builder and An old woman.
  Dasavatharam
  
  
  Recently,a scene involving Napoleon and Kamal was shot in AVM studio.This scene was shot using a special camera that was imported from Australia and an Aussie cameraman was also brought in to shoot these portions.
  
  Cinematographer Ravi Varman had also come to the studio to plan the shot with the Australian. A foreigner entered the studio at that time and Ravi Varman approached him and started discussing the camera work that would suit the shot.
  After a while the Australian cameraman came in. Only then did Ravivarman realize that he was actually chatting with Kamal in his foreigner guise for the movie. The make-up is said to be that realistic.
  
  Kamal is also said to have stunned the unit in his 92 year old woman's get-up. Scenes of him teaching music to children, in this get-up, were also shot.

  Will Dasavatharam hit the screens on time?
  
  Nov 10, 2006
  
  Rumors hover around the release dates of Dasavatharam and Sivaji. Though unconfirmed sources reveal that both the mega movies are slated to be released on the same day – April 14, the Tamil New year day – many shrug this news as rumors for valid reasons.
  
  
  Now though, it appears that the Dasavatharam stable is in a dilemma on the release date.
  
  Reasons are many. While Sivaji ’s shoots are expected to be wrapped up in December, the movie has plenty of time for the postproduction works to be carried out. Not the same in the case of Dasavatharam, which is only progressing and the shoots are not likely to finish before March. On the other hand, K.S.R seems not want to rush since Kamal has 10 different roles. If the characters are not crafted with perfection, he knows that the movie will turn out to be a disaster.
  
  The two-mega movies releasing on a same date may prove catastrophic to either one of them. The release of Sivaji is targeted to cash in on the holiday season. Dasavatharam team is in no rush to qualify the movie to be released on the same date. It seems that the producer is contemplating to release Dasavatharam a few weeks after the release of Sivaji, in which way both the flicks can attain the immortal status at the box office. Whatever be the reason, we are waiting.

  The two important avatar of Dasavatharam
  Nov 13, 2006
  Dasavatharam
  
  
  We have been regularly feeding our readers with the information about Kamal’s upcoming Dasavatharam on a regular basis. Kamal sporting ten different avatars is old news. The current one is that two of the ten avatars die in the course of the progress of the film while only eight avatars are sustained till the end of the movie. The movie is progressing at a rapid and uniform speed and in all probability would be released as per the initial schedule.
  
  When it comes to image, Kamal is one actor who has transcended all the barriers of image building. To him, the screen play is more vital than his personal image.
  Hence it does not come as a surprise when two of the roles that he plays in Dasavatharam would not live till the end of the movie. Reliable sources reveal that the death of these two characters is most crucial to the film. Behindwoods will keep you updated on the same.

  Mr Mani : Don't worry.. we'll be the Winner.. 'cos the simple thing is nobody is aware of VV's release except our fans.. that it self speaks. Dasa is already created an hype and kamal /ksr combo will definitely rock more than thenali..
  
  Back home it's called Ragavan Instinct.. I was really impressed by the dialogue delivery, when I watched VV for the 5th time.. It was somebody's quote and I was wondering,where this dialgoue comes. Gr8

  Come on guys, I dont think the media is hyping only SIVAJI !!! Even if they do, it will not impact 10A by any means ... And you guys know that too !!!

  Lots of little gossip has been finding its way about over the intricacies of 'Dasavataram' and there are at least 25 versions of what Kamal's varied get-ups would be. The latest rumour has it that he will have a get-up like George Bush!
  
  Whether the American president figures in the film or not, it is a sure fact that some scenes of 'Dasavataram' are being shot in the US. Early yesterday morning, Kamal, Asin and the unit took off to America for probably a 35 days shooting schedule, where scenes of 2 of Kamal's get-ups will be shot. Director KS Ravikumar will also shoot a duet with Kamal and Asin.
  After shooting is over, Kamal will spend a few days with his elder daughter Sruti who's studying at Miami, before returning to Chennai. That would be almost the end of next month.
  
  
  'Vettaiyaadu Vilayadu' was shot in America and the film is enjoying a successful run. Will 'Dasavataram' echo that success?
  
  
  KS Ravikumar believes 'Dasavataram' will be a bigger hit!
  
  Not only KSR... The entire Tamil ppl will make it as a super duper..
  
  
  Ilayaraja's song remixed by Karthikraja, sung by Kamal
  The most popular of Ilayaraja's songs have been chosen, and sung by Kamal, Shreya Ghosal, Karthik, Sujatha and Vijay Jesudoss. The songs have been remixed by Karthikraja in such a way that it will appeal to the present young generation. It includes "ninaivo oru paravai" sung by Kamal in 'Sigappu Rojakkal.' Kamal has sung the re-mix version too.

  Dear Nerd,
  
  Though smith doesn't represent the BO of Tn, he is a well wisher of that movie. Having so much confidence on kamal and KSR and Oscar he has said that there is no second opinion. That too in kamalji's thread for DASA.
  
  If he has said that in any other thread, then it's debatable. That's what , ulaganayagan and NP stated that wrong comment in right thread.
  
  Though we are not the moderators, we can say wrong comment in right thread, as we always think positive on thalaivar movies. Since your posting is in the negative way, he has said that.
  
  Pls don't get hurted, afterall we are living in the democratic country and everyone has freedom of their opinion. That's all dude... common ...get cool dude and have nice time..

  Workers strike in Dasavatharam unit
  Nov 20, 2006
  In Kollywood Kamal is known as a stickler for discipline especially in the sets. Whenever there is a film involving him goes on the floor, everybody maintains the same sense of decorum that Kamal follows. In fact director K S Ravikumar would not even smoke when Kamal is present in the sets. But a recent incident at the sets of Dasavatharam sparked off a series of unsavoury events.
  Dasavatharam
  
  
  At a shooting spot near Chengelpet when a stunt sequence was being captured by the camera, stunt master Kanal Kannan was reported to have used unparliamentary words at the workers and that too over the public address system. Angered and humiliated by such remarks, the workers walked out of the sets refusing to work any more. Repeated pleading from Kamal and Ravikumar did not help the situation any further. Finally they all resumed duty only after the elimination of Kanal Kannan. Now stunt master Thyagarajan is taking care of stunt scenes.

  Snippet: Fight Master Uses Filthy Language
  
  
  Fight master Kanal Kannan is well known both in Tamil and Telugu film industries. He is known for short temper and liberty in using filthy language even on new faces. He was recently busy with shooting the fight sequences for the film 'Dasavataram' of Kamal Hasan at a village near Chennai.
  
  Addressing to stuntmen he shouted in an inappropriate way. As he used a big mike accompanied with loud speaker while shouting at stuntmen, the latter felt insulted and hence walked way from the sets.
  
  Even the workers at the place, who were not associated with stunts also decided to quit the unit. This disturbed the entire tempo of other artistes. Then Kamal Haasan involved in the scene, dismissed Kanal Kannan and got along with the shooting. Kanal Kannan was replaced with another fight master Tyagarajan

  Will Sivaji, Dasavatharam change title
  IndiaGlitz [Wednesday, November 22, 2006]
  
  The State government announced a tax exemption for movies titled in Tamil and soon almost all the producers and directors started to go for Tamil titles.
  
  Almost all the films in the last couple of months had Tamil titles.
  
  All eyes are now on Rajinikanth's Sivaji and Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam. The two biggies are slated for release later this year.
  
  Buzz is that both Sivaji and Dasavatharam are reportedly not Tamil titles and hence they would not be entitled for tax exemption.
  
  Some Tamil scholars had clarified that Sivaji had its origin from Maratha warrior Veer Sivaji (Maharashtra), while Dasavatharam is a Sanskrit word.
  
  However directors Shankar and K S Ravikumar, who are directing Sivaji and Dasavatharam respectively insist that they are Tamil titles. In the event of the concerned authorities denying to accept them as Tamil titles, no doubt that they would opt for Tamil title.

  There was a Tyagarajan who was the most sought after stunt master in the 70s-80s in Malayalam. In the Prem Nazeer, Jayan (mallu superstars) movies if the stunt master title shows Tyagarajan there used to be a huge appluase in theaters!!
  
  Having said this, I am not sure this could be the same Tyagarajan !!

  Shruti Hassan croons for `Dashaavtar`!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Friday, 24 November , 2006, 10:38
  
  Last week, Himesh Reshammiya the hot and happening composer in Indian cinema recorded a song for Kamal Hassan’s big budget Dashaavtar. And guess who crooned the peppy number? Shruti Hassan the beautiful daughter of Kamal sang the song under Himesh’s baton.
  Himesh recorded the song in a Mumbai recording studio. It is a fast number with a mixture of English and Tamil lyrics. Himesh was so bowled over by Shruti’s voice that he has promised to showcase her talent in one of his forthcoming music videos.
  
  The tape of Shruti’s song was immediately sent to New York where the shooting of, Dashaavtar is going on in full swing. This song will be picturised on Mallika Sherawat in and around various hot-spots of New York City by cameraman Ravi Varman.

  Quote:

  Cho Ramaswamy on Dasavatharam Nov 25, 2006 “Dasavatharam, the Kamal starrer may not be get tax exemption as the word is a pure Sanskrit one”, says veteran lawyer cum journalist cum actor Cho Ramaswamy. According to him, this exemption of tax for films with Tamil names is noting but a political gimmick. The current government should concentrate more on constructive activities. Secondly, Cho is of the opinion, that the committee should examine the content of the movie for tax exemption rather than the title. He also felt that Sivaji will get tax rebate as it is a proper noun. Speaking on the same issue, Rama Narayan, President of Tamil Film Producer’s council (TFPC) opines that non-Tamil words which have assimilated themselves in to the language by their day -today usage would not be questioned. As per him, the last word rests only with the Department of Commercial taxes. The TFPC may aid a producer in putting out an appeal. But beyond that the council cannot proceed further.

  Dasavatharam in June 2007? IndiaGlitz [Thursday, November 30, 2006] Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam may not make it to theatres this Tamil New Year's day. The movie featuring Kamal Haasan in ten different roles and directed by K S Ravikumar was initially slated for a release in April 2007. Now sources in Ravikumar's unit confirm that the movie would hit the screens only during June 2007 (beginning of the next academic year). They say that Kamal Haasan is keen on coming up with a technically brilliant work in Dasavatharam. Lots need to be done during the post-production including digital grading. With the expertise of film personalities from Hollywood studios, post-production will be carried out. Hence with the consent of producer Oscar Ravichandran, Ravikumar is planning for a delayed release. The crew is currently shooting in the USA.

  [tscii]The Kamal Hassan-Mallika Sherawat starrer ‘Dasavadharam’ is proving to be a costly affair. The makers of the film have taken up a casino in Las Vegas (US) to shoot some important scenes. Apparently, this is the first time Mallika is going to Las Vegas and she’s said to be excited about the trip.
  
  “The unit is currently in Orlando. They will later move to Las Vegas. Mallika will join us later,” says a source. The casino will lighten the makers of a few crores. In fact, the first scene, a three-minute one, cost them around Rs 3 crore.
  
  Reportedly Mallika had demanded twice the amount that the lead South heroine Asin would be getting for this film. But in her recent interviews, Mallika has played down the payment speculations. Instead, she raved about Hassan and how crazy she is about the veteran actor.
  
  Interestingly, Hassan essays 10 different roles while Mallika is playing a grey character who masterminds conspiracies. This Tamil-Hindi bilingual has music by Himesh Reshammiya.
  
  Mallika plays an ex-CIA agent in ‘Dasavadharam’. Mallika is said to have agreed for the film even before she heard the script. The film has imported a make-up team headed by Michael Westmore from Los Angeles. Interestingly, Hassan himself has written the script, screenplay and dialogues for the film. There will also be steamy scenes between the duo.

  No. It was someone else. Read this, it's a nice interview in typical Sujatha style.
  
  The director substituted a Coimbatore dialect, whereas I had used a southern Trichy dialect in the book. Dialect was used only for flavour in the novel, and it wasn’t fully authentic either. The director was not capable of thriller narration – that was the problem.

  Mallika’s sacrifices for Kamal
  Dec 11, 2006
  This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
  
  She has the entire nation slobber at her for her looks. However, as it seems, she is head over heels for someone else. Mallika, the sultry glam goddess of Bollywood has recently revealed that since she is a hardcore fan of Kamal she made a few sacrifices to star in Dasavatharam.
  
  Mallika stated that she has even slashed her paycheck for Dasavatharam.
  
  Dasavatharam
  It is not true that I received more than what Asin was paid for the movie, mentioned Mallika. She is in Las Vegas shooting for Dasavatharam in the world famous casinos. As a matter of fact, this is the first time an Indian film is being shot in the casinos. Mallika pairs up with Kamalhasan as a CIA agent. Well, the sultriest agent CIA could ever get.
  
  Mallika could not join the shoots as per the planned dates owing to her commitments for Hindi films – which was reported by us earlier. However, she freed herself to be in Las Vegas for the shoots of Dasavatharam later and is currently investigating in the casinos with Kamal for criminals.

  Dr.SL = Satire, multiple roles

  Agreed. And as Aandavan wrote both Holy Grail and 10A deal with recovering precious artefact. But the similarity ends there. And multiple roles weren't confined to Holy Grail. It is a standard feature of all Monty Python movies. It was a cost-cutting exercise and not a deliberate attempt. And Holy Grail is one of a kind. I don't think our audience are conditioned for that kind of comedy.

  Well, I guess I got my wording wrong there . What I meant was, there was no deliberate attempt to introduce novelty by way of playing multiple roles (like Strangelove). Rather they were forced to by budgetary constraints to do that. Even the part, where the servant bangs two coconuts to simulate the sound of horse hoofs was included to save on rents for horses and to avoid paying for the lead actors' horse training. Of course, unexpectedly, that turned out to be the highlight of the movie.

  Yuo could be right... but I believe it was as per the script.

  Any idea what he spoke during the Periyar audio launch? I suppose it is apt that he is the chief guest, as he is personally influenced by Periyar's ideology in some way or another. Plus he was the first to really make use of Sathyaraj's talent (Barathiraja, Manivannan notwithstanding) in Kadamai, Kanniyam, Kattupadi - one of my favourite Sathyaraj movie.

  Not some way - he is wholly influenced by periyar way. There was an understanding that satyaraj would get a chance to play in KKK provided he played a villain in vikram.

  As far as i know, The only thing he is influenced by Periyar thoughts is non belief over God.
  
  For example,
  
  Periyar hated Tamil Language to the core and he even mentioned it as Kaatumiraandi baashai. Kamal is a lover of tamil language..

  Can not be. Satyaraj acted as villain in movies even after vikram. It must be either recognizing the talent or use the "then cop" for a cop movie - Had it been after pulan visaranai, KH would have used captain ( )

  Why, then, Kamal would want him for Vikram? If there is no question of talent, he could've always used Jai Shankar or Nizhalgal Ravi. He wanted Sathyaraj who'd be a perfect bad guy for Bond-like film.
  
  And he needed someone who'd not mind about his own image for a story like KKK. The cop is a good cop, but with doubtful moral values. He drinks, sleeps with prostitute, is insubordinate, etc. Sathyaraj, who had no problem alternating between hero, villain or anti-hero roles, is perfect.
  
  That what makes Kamal a great judge of talent. Look at the talents he used for his films, Nassar, Ramesh Aravind, later Madhavan.

KSR said "Oru Avatar mudikirathukku 20 naaL endru vaithu kondaaLum, 10 Avatarukku 200 naaL vendumae". We can expect 10A on August or June ! I think August is a possible one

  The latest on Dasavatharam is that the fool who had earlier filed a petition of plagiarism saying the story is his, has succeeded in having the high court issue a stay order on the release according to Headlines Today. The joke is that the movie is only under production
  
  So, anyone can file a case and cause the utmost inconvenience and hurdles to celeberities. Our law is incredibly dumb. The Kushboo case(s) is a fine example. The very fact that the movie is only under production means this guy cannot possibly know the story. They need to compare his story with something, right? What do they have? Nothing.

  Hi folks, Is there trouble brewing between KSR and kamal, www.tamilcinema.com reports there has been a issue between them with kamal not listening to KSR's instructions. What's up with kamal why is it there is always issues between him and the director.

  
  
  thenali movie is done out and out by kamal-jeyaram improvisation!
  
  ravikumar has worked with kamal in thenali,avvai shanmugi and panchathanthiram!

  I am surprised that Kamal will indulge in plagiarism.....hmm....I don't think Kamal is like that....Kamal is a perfect gentleman....so don't believe these reports...
  
  also....Kamal handling of the directors is very professional...there must have been some small suggestions given by Kamal to KSR...and this media has blown the news out of proportion...

  Vadivel in `Dasavataram`? By Moviebuzz | Sunday, 28 January , 2007, 17:20 According to the latest buzz, Vadivel the comedy king of Kollywood will be the latest addition to the Dasavataram bandwagon. Sources close to Vadivel confirmed that the ace comedian is trying to work out his dates. Kamal and Vadivel as a comedy pair is sure to bring the house down with their perfect comedy timing. Remember Vadivel owes a lot to Kamal, who was instrumental in giving him a lengthy role in his home production, the classic Thevar Magan. Before Kamal spotted him, Vadivel used to appear in a scene or a part of Goundamani-Senthil scenes in some films. K.S Ravi Kumar, the director of Dasavataram is already smiling, as there is a lot of novelty in this casting coup. Kamal and Vadivel have not appeared together for a long time. Now Vadivel is a big star in his own right, and the audiences have even bigger anticipation when he lock horns with the Ulaga Nayakan

  Breadpuli,
  VV getting delayed was hardly Kamal's fault. 1 year 1 movie? 2007 Dasa and the Saran movie (which i wish he hadn't said yes to) - 2 movies. He's doing fine in that aspect
  
  Remember, immediately after MX, he started VV followed by Dasa followed by the Saran film....
  Also, doing a movie like Dasa is a logistics nightmare. Its not easy at all to complete and release it in this timeframe and the unit must be slogging their a**es off to be on schedule

He brought those kind of stuff in avvai shanmugi & thenali for sure. So it continues... Never mind.. It is definitely an hit for sure.. Really the second picture amazes.

  rajkumar oscar ravi is 100% confident about the movie's massive success.. he is telling abt somethings which we wudnt have imagined.. do not worry.. DASA wil become the talk of the town... a MILESTONE in Indian FIlm History.. never worry abt BO..

  Dasavatharam release in August
  PVS [Friday, January 26, 2007]
  
  The shooting of "Dasavatharam" starring Kamal Haasan and directed by K.S. Ravikumar, which is underway, will be completed in June and released in August this year, according to latest reports. The producer is Ravichandran of Oscar Films.
  
  Kamal, who returned to Chennai from the US in December after the shooting of some sequences there, is preparing to leave for Malaysia. A couple of days ago, he participated in a function got up by Moserbaer, at Greenpark Hotel to release low-cost DVDs and VCDs of original Tamil movies (Moserbaer is the world's second largest manufacturer of DVDs, VCDs, HD-DVDs and Blue-ray discs.)
  
  Kamal appeared in hairstyle as in his old movie "Sathya" and French beard. Speaking at the function, he said he had wished for long that someone should bring out old Tamil movies on DVDs and VDS and now Moserbaer had fulfilled his wish. Hereafter all Tamil films should be made available on DVDs and VCDs, he said.
  
  The function provided an opportunity to know more about the story of "Dasavatharam". During Chola period, the animosity between Veera Saivaites and Veera Vaishnavas was at its peak. The story begins with Vaishnavite acharya Ramanuja's time with Napolean playing Chozhan while Kamal dons the role of a Veera Vaishnavan.
  
  As the name of the film connotes, there are ten 'avatars' or ten changes in human character. Kamal plays an old woman (as in "Avvai Shanmukhi") also. Apart from the role of Veera Vaishnavan, some other roles played by Kamal are: an armyman and an expert detective, "Bush" and "Osama bin Laden".
  
  Asin, who pairs with Kamal, plays double roles. Bollywood glamour girl, Mallika Sherawat also stars in the movie.

  Earlier this week fans saw him in the shoot in Chengalpet. They didn't realize whom they were seeing was Kamal! They realized it only after someone pointed out. He was jet black with curly hair. Maybe (one of them couldnt say for sure) the 'pigmy' getup

  Just thought of posting my opinion here.
  
  People expect Class movies like "Devar Magan" which any layman can understand and Mass entertainer like "Aboorva sago."
  
  Nowadays he is taking movies for himself. many of the B & C center people dont understand what the movie is.
  
  If you ask a b&c center guy about Kamal , He would say "Avar padangallam appa nalla irunudhadhu, ippa onnu puriya matengudhu."

  Kamal = 10; Asin = 2
  
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  
  February 02, 2007
  
  This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
  
  
  Dasavatharam – the multi Kamal starrer movie – is progressing in top gear for an April release. Meanwhile, salacious scoop about the movie gets released every now and then raising the bar among the die-hard Kamal fans. Here is another one in the row.
  
  
  
  
  Remember our earlier reports about Asin playing double role in addition to Kamal’s 10 roles? Rumor has it that one of the roles Asin plays in Dasavatharam is that of a girl from primitive age. Does that mean the ultra modern Asin seeks out her roots and finds who she was in her previous birth? Keep your fingers crossed to find out though.
  
  Meanwhile, recently released images of Kamal as a swami with dreadlocks suggest that the plot of the movie is set to be occurring in two different periods of time. It is likely that Dasavatharam could provide a promising travel-back-in-time experience.
  
  It is also speculated that Vadivelu is being included in the casting list of Dasavatharam. These are only unconfirmed reports however; we will keep you posted on all the updates.

  Definitely not April. Kamal's call sheet is supposedly ending in March end. After finishing post production he will immediately start work on Saran's project. Oscar is trying for a June/July release but its going to be very difficult. His next project after the Saran film may also be finalized this month (no furhter details on that yet).

  Kamal's movies at times face trouble because they are not entertainers..they are movies with a deepy underlying message taking on any topic...and kamal undergoes alot of risks doing such movies..so seeing controversies against his movies is normal...but what this controversies dunt forecast is the expectations and willingness of movie fans to watching movies...which is why he can make superhits even from movies that are doomed in production....

  Dasavatharam, Kamal’s costliest movie ever
  IndiaGlitz [Saturday, February 10, 2007]
  
  
  The news from Dasavatharam camp is that the film’s shoot has been progressing well in Malaysia.
  
  Several locals (with Chinese-Japanese facial features) are participating in the shoot.
  
  Now, this makes speculation on the story very interesting.
  
  As a local Malaysian company is also co-opted as a producer, the shooting has been very intense and interesting.
  
  With Oscar Ravichandran and the Malaysian company as the producer, this is believed to be the costliest Kamal movie ever.
  
  Kamal plays ten roles while Asin has two. Mallika Sherawat is also in the cast.
  
  Meanwhile, Kamal, who is very particular about the dialogues, has been conferring with the writer Crazy Mohan for hours together.
  
  Crazy Mohan has not gone to Malaysia. But Kamal is on the telephone line on a daily basis and the dialogues carry a special stamp of humour.

I tought this movie would be better, but the thrilling factor was missing! And in loved the poet in VNS. "Chippi irukuthu muthum iruku" was one of my favorite song in the "non ARR" list, after seeing the song with Kamal & Sridevi it's ooh God so better!!!

  Sonia,
  Good observation. If his body language remains the same in every shot in VNS, what can we say about the "Sivam" character in Anbe Sivam? The twitching never stops, even when he seems to be out of frame. Forget "Body" language , avar kazhuthu sadhai kooda nadikkum - adu dhaan Kamal

  The only highlight of Sigappu Rojakkal is Kamal and Sridevi's acting. Both acted really well in their roles... And Yes Kamal looked really handsome and stylish in his role... But overall the movie was a piece of s*** thought the movie was downright silly at many places VNS was a cool movie - again the same KH/SD combo!

  Sigappu Rojakkal is a super stylish movie. For a movie taken in 1978, its super slick and narration is excellent. Superb Direction also. Kudos to Baarathi Raja

  a few more info from interview:
  - He spoke about Prabhudeva's dancing skills and passion in a very high regard
  - Sagarasangamam (silangai oli) is one of the best executed scripts - better than Sankarabharanam
  - Sang some classical stuff
  - Did not interrupt the interviewer too much - most of the times she could finish her questions - something unusual
  - no plan of doing a movie to exploit his dancing skills

  i find AV becoming non-neutral with kamal and his films, after kamal started oaming with simran, then followed by gautami. in last 2 interviews of AV, with kamal, it pondered indecently with personal questions and almost forced him to say "aamaam naan appadithaan, unga velaya neenga paarunga".....after that AV didnt support kamal, much, as it did before...
  
  hindu newspaper still stays neutral with kamal, in exception with1 the articles by shreethar pillai
  
  my question is, vikatan open jalraas with rajni, visay (totally 4 articles about pokkiri!!! in every quarter, none for VV and othe kamal movies) and its indirect support to sunTV.
  
  when P.Chidambaram was textile minister, one of his relative got into textile business, to avoid any bad name and wrong connections, PC just resigned his minister post..the is what we call neutralism.......but vikatan stays with sun TV to make profits from its crap serials, and supports those serials well on its magazine, also supports visay and rajini more than what they deserve, digs kamal and his films unevenly, all this is ok, but it calls itself a very very neutral magazine....that is the ONLY problem with vitkatan....... other magazines too dont cover all about kamal, but comparitively are not as bad as vikatan group
  
  even suntv is a visay \ rajni jalra but never propogates that its too neutral

  The point to be noted here is not the fact that VV got only 40. Rather, the fact that other movies much worse than VV are getting more than 40 is what makes these so-called reviews inconsistent and lacking in substance or insight

  He gave an interview after RSB Launch. I think first week of Jun 2005.
  AV asked him why suddenly he was doing kannada movie?
  
  He told that he had audience in all the 4 states. Hence he was doing that.
  
  That time he had a Telugu project for Rama Naidu in pipeline.
  
  I dont know what happened after that.

  I've always complained about how sometimes Kamal goes overboard publicising his films. Hey Ram had massive publicity campaign; especially with stills before the shoot. The same with Alavandhan. Some stills, like Indian, never even made it to the actual movie.
  
  But you can't link that with the success of the movie. Success and failure has its own little stories.
  
  But Dasavatharam's mystery is actually helping with the possible success of the movie. There will be plenty of surprises in store for fans like us and that is why I am very confident that this will be a big hit.

  I go with your words grouchoo.. Cos the hype for heyram and alavandan was really great..However those 2 films had a set back in terms of BO. But I never seen hype for anyother films like that. Cos those were high budget movies. Infact, Bharat shah shared in the production heyram along with Kamal. For alavandan, you know the twist between kamal and dhanu. Interestingly, you can see dhanu in magalir mattum, when they were so close. I always wonder, why It happens to Kamal alone. But, I never give up on kamal personally to say. Dasa, will be as good as indian.

  Hi Folks,
  What is crazy's involvement in the film, if kamal is doing story,screen play, where does sujatha fit in. Also it has been a while since kamal has come up with good screenplay's. Hope this does not turn to be a muddled and a confusing one.

  Infact "Kalakka povathu yaaru" itself is a song which you can include in that category. I love the lyrics esp

  Dasavatharam` details!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Thursday, 22 February , 2007, 17:16
  
  Kamal Hassan has issued a press release through his public relations manager Nikhil Murugan, about his magnum opus Dasavatharam. The film is produced by Oscar Ravichandran and directed by K.S Ravi Kumar.
  The big news is that Kamal himself is writing the story and screenplay and is also playing 10 different characters in this action laced entertainer. The film begins from a 12th century Cholamandalam period character to a modern age space scientist working in US. The other eight characters and what they do have not been specified.
  
  The film has been shot in exotic locales in US and Malaysia. A dance sequence featuring Kamal and Mallika Sherawat has been shot in an actual night club in Malaysia, which has been choreographed by Brinda. The others in the cast are Asin, Nepolean, Santhanabharathy, M.S Bhaskar and Jayapradha.
  
  Technically the film will be state of art with Anil Pembarkar doing wizardry with his make-up. During outdoor shoot in Malaysia, even die hard fans of Kamal could not recognize him! The art directors Prabhakaran and Samir Chanda has made expensive but never seen before sets to match the period and characters Kamal play in the film.
  
  Another talking point will be Ravi Varman's camera and Himmesh Reshamaiah 's music. Added to that, some breadth taking action scenes have been canned by action directors Thiyagarajan, Kanal Kannan and foreign stuntmen including terrific martial arts scenes shot in Malaysia.

  When some of our senior fans went for a shooting in Chengelpet, they didn't realize for half an hour that a certain 'dark' member of the cast was none other than Aandavar.

  Feddy,
  Hype is not bad per se - like Sivaji. All the hype, talk and speculation have been from the audience.
  Even Dasa is doing very good SO FAR in that department - absolute secrecy and mum's the word. Hype is only through audience expectation.

  yes they shouldn't reveal it...and what more if you can't make out who is kamal for the first time....people will go to see the movie for the 2nd time atleast to make sure or find out who is kamal....storywise I don't know what genre it will be but by seeing 10 roles....I think it will be a mixture of all....am just guessing...

  Hi friends.......Dasa has shaped well till now and the graphics part is goin on full swing. My Brother-in-law(He's a graphics animator) has confirmed that the scenes have been shot with outmost precision. I can tell some snippets abt the scenes, i dunno whether u'll believe or curse me, so for the goodness of DASA and KAMAL Ji's fans i'm not tellin that. Day before yesterday Kamal Ji has visited ASCENDAS.Chennai.....This is were the company were my bro-in-law works is located. Initially he was not happy with the work done and my bro-in-law is in the process of doin sensitive alterations. Ans KAMAL Ji has appreciated his good work(This is a proof of a good artist).
  
  And u know something......His company was in the eighth floor......absent mindedly they invited Kamal Ji thro the main entrance of the building.......within 2 minutes.....the eighth floor was crowded with more than 400 people working in various companies gathered to see Kamal Ji.

  I hope finally it does not mke us feel like watching a fancy dress competition.
  More than the perfection in make-up what matters is how Kamal adapts to it by means of body language, voice modulation etc. Sure thalaivar will excell - but itshould not happen that the make-up over shadows every thing.
  Digression - When was the last time Kamal acted as a normal middle class guy (Mahanadi??)

  RR,
  You are right. Mahandhi & Amaidhipadai released at the same time (Pongal 1994 to be precise)... Amaidhipadai was a supe hit movie but as far as I know Mahanadhi was a flop ( or atleast in Chennai)...
  
  <Flashback>
  I remember seeing the movie with my friends (bunking college) for noon show on a week day in ANAND theatre in Mount Road. We all went nearly 40 min late for the show... but still got tickets and the theatre was only like 70% full or something. When we reached the theatre the song "Pei gala namdhadey" already started this was like 2 weeks after Pongal... That is pretty unusual for a KH movie coz even if his movies bomb at least for the first 2-3 weeks it normally runs full house...
  </Flash back>
  
  Those college days are great... Another event to recall... I remember the fight between RK fans & KH fans outside Udhayam theatre complex during Diwali 1991 at the time of Dalapathy and Guna release... The special show was screening Guna which upset RK fans because they wanted "Dalapathy" to be screened... It resulted resulted in a huge fight between RK & KH fans... If i'm not wrong, I believe after that incident KH dissolved his Rasigar Mandram The rest is history!

  Nammavar is one of my favorite Kamal films. Brilliant performances by everybody and it was a commercial film yet a very good class material!

  Rajini fan - Both Mahanadhi & Nammavar were flops! That was a bad phase that KH was going through with Nammavar the legendary KH completed four "back-to-back" flops - Maharasan, Kalaignan, Mahanadhi & Nammavar. that was the time his critics and detractors loudly said that his days are over and suggested him to quit gracefully.
  
  But the great actor made a superb/fighting comeback with 4 "back-to-back" hits this time around - Sathi Leelavathy (Pongal '95), Kuruthipunal (Diwali '95), Indian (May '96) and Avvai Shanmughi (Diwali '96). He just silenced his critics/detractors and proved that his days are not yet over!

  MC,
  Aandavar had dissolved/converted his Rasigar Mandrams much before that incident. He had done it after the astounding success of Aboorva Sagodharargal, in the vetri vizha function in Kalaignar's presence..
  
  Abt the Udhayam theatre incident, one version has it that the fight started due to the burning of a cut-out or star (during those days, "stars" were the main indicators of an actor's fan strength)...

  Definitely Mahanadhi is not a flop movie . It is an average and none of the distributors has loss.
  
  After the Failure of Nammavar, He gave Superhit Satheeleelavathi(TN&AP - Inface In AP it did better than Basaha).,Hit - Kuruthi Punal , Blockbusters Indian and Avvalishanmugi.
  
  
  Indian was the biggest Hit of Kollywood from 1996 - 1999 Apr (Before Padayappa) . Even Rajni's Aruhachalam couldn't beat its collection.
  
  And it ran extraordinary very well in all the 4 states

  I have an unforgettable flashback about Indian.
  
  After one week of Indian release i was coming to chennai from Vellore.That time Busstand was in Flower Bazar. Vellore bus was coming in Poonamalli highroad via Sangam theatre.
  
  Due to heavy rush for the movie the bus had to wait for more than 30mins infront of the theatre.The Samething happened when i was going to Vellore from chennai on the same evenining.
  
  I was very much happy to see the Thalaivar fan's following that day.
  
  Those are the days.......

  Moviecop: I guess we both did college in the same batch or so. Mine is 92-95. I use to bunk my classes to go to movies. I beg to differ from your view. Mahanathi it's slow pick up movie. Because I remember I couldn't get tickets in anandh and have seen it in Maharani( I bet that was the only movie for KH to get released in Maharani). It had 100 days run in chennai. Maharani noon,bala abirami & little anand.
  
  Also the incident of thalapthi took place in Sribrindha theatre. Before that , thalaivar has renamed his fans associations into welfare association.
  
  Maharasan: He did it free of cost for Director rangaraj.
  
  I just quote one incident now. I was in Abirami theatre in the 3 rd week of CM, I was able to get the ticket after 30 mts in the 40rs cadre. I agree CM is super duper hit. It might happen once in a while. May be you would have gone to anandh theatre in the very odd moment are such.
  
  Take life, as it comes.

  Himesh in fine form for Dasavatharam
  IndiaGlitz [Friday, March 02, 2007]
  
  Kamal Hassan’s Dasavatharam is fast nearing completion. The latest buzz is that a song sequence featuring Mallika Sherawat and Kamal Hassan was shot in Malaysia by director K S Ravikumar.
  
  Sources in the production team say plans were initially on to shoot the song sequence in America. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they chose to settle down with Malaysia.
  
  Also the crew is exuding confidence that Himesh Reshamaiyya’s songs would top the audio charts.
  
  Sources say that the end product from Himesh has been amazing and it is sure to top the audio charts. “He has come up with new sound and catchy tunes which are sure to become big hits,” they say.

  Rajini awaits Dasavatharam
  By Behindwoods News Bureau.
  March 03, 2007
  
  This news is sponsored by www.behindbikes.com
  Dasavatharam is most likely to be released by June 2007 only. This film with Kamal in ten different get ups has been in the news ever since its announcement. Though the film was initially slated for a summer 2007 release, it appears now that it may hit the screen only by June 2007.
  
  kamal
  A few scenes involving Mallika Sherawat and Asin are still pending. The call sheets of other artists involved in this film also will go on till May. Hence the film in all probability will be extended for a couple of months more than the scheduled date.
  
  Meanwhile, it has been said in the industry circles that super star Rajinikanth will leave for Himalayas after Sivaji and be back after the release of Dasavatharam. He is said to be very eagerly waiting for the release of Kamal's magnum opus. An interesting trivia about Dasavatharam is a huge sum of 2.5 crores was exclusively spent on Kamal's make up alone.
  
  ______________________________________________________
  
  Just look at the rajini and kamal lead pair..despite so much stardom they both are so humble and rajini is already awaiting dasaavatharam despite it being a very strong contender to rbeak shivaji

  yesterday I saw the interview of Kamal by Gautami. Kamal seems positive of the movie, which is a good sign.
  
  personally, I love kamals comedies and I dont think it can ever go wrong. not in this century at least.

  OSCAR Ravi is the person who doesn't want to invest money in experimental movies and also not produce films which are going to damp squip. And also he produced the movie after waiting 1 year .
  
  So It may not be a big blockbuster but it will be become a Superhit atleast.

  Well said Niranjan.
  
  Since Oscar Ravi is the Leading producer in Kollywood , he can back out from producing this movie at any time if he is not happy with the happenings.
  
  And he has the courage to do that not Like Kalai puli Thanu.
  
  
  I Sincerly hope this film would do wonders in Box office and take Kamal to the position where he supposed to be.
  
  
  And i also heard that . Oscar Ravi requested Kamal not to speack much about this movie as he did in Aalavanthan. And he will take care of movie when it finished.
  
  Is it true?
