Well, it’s about time! The wait is almost over for Kamal fans! This mighty movie is set to storm the cine scene on April 10th, 2008!
Taking its core from the story of Lord Vishnu and his ten forms (avatars), Dasavathaaram has the multifaceted Kamal Haasan sporting ten roles. Amongst them, he dons the guise of American President George Bush, an tall man (8'), a dark-skinned business tycoon, a 90-year-old lady and even a temple priest! For the man who has already sported a variety of roles in his cinema career, this would certainly have been child’s play! Not the acting, but getting into the guises was the most tedious! Hollywood makeup artiste Westmoor is the man who helped Kamal transform from one character into another with hours of makeup sessions prior to the shoot everyday!
Directed by K.S. Ravikumar, Dasavathaaram has cost an astronomical amount! The production cost incurred is around 50 crore rupees! Shooting for the movie ended late last year and post-production work has been on in full swing since. Pairing with Kamal in this movie are Asin (in a double role), Jayapradha and Mallika Sherawat. Other players in important roles are Napolean and K.S. Ravikumar himself!
Dasavathaaram will be dubbed in Telugu and Hindi and be released along with the Tamil version. While Kamal will dub for his role in Tamil and Hindi, in Telugu it will be super singer S.P. Balasubramaniam who will dub for Kamal’s characters. SPB has already dubbed for the actor several times before.
Following Bommalattam, this will be Himesh Reshamaiyya second Tamil music album. While he has scored the songs for the movie, Devi Sri Prasad has done the re-recording.
The movie has been eluding release for quite some time, but we can be pretty sure that it will be worth the wait!
