Are you tired of hearing lots of news, gossips
and rumors on Dasavatharam? Don't worry, the fastest
we are, Team Behindwoods brings you the first
official press release on the movie, from the
man himself, Kamal Haasan. We all know that Kamal
is doing 10 roles and the director of the movie
is K.S.Ravikumar. Story, Screenplay and Dialogues
are also handled by Kamal. What we have is the
latest and confirmed news on the movie. Read on. |

One
of the 10 characters in Dasavatharam lives
in the 12th Century Cholamandalam ruled
by the king Kulothunga Cholan. Rangaraja
Nambi, the character Kamal plays is a great
devotee of Lord “Govindaraja Perumal”.
The shoots of this character was held at
Chidambaram. The sets depicting the 12th
century Cholamandalam was erected and thousands
of people were dressed like belonging to
that era. Horses and Elephants too were
in the shoots and were taken best of care.
Remember the animal activists are keeping
their eyes wide open. The scene shot was
that of Kulothunga Cholan throwing the deity
of Perumal into sea and Rangaraja Nambi
embracing the idol before the idol being
thrown into the sea. The real life atheist
Kamal acts as a God believer in this character.

| We
have Napolean doing the role of King Kulothunga
Cholan. It is said that Kamal spotted Kudumi for
this role. |

The
other character Kamal plays is that of a
modern Scientist working in the US. Shoots
of this character took place in the research
centers in US, where getting permissions
for movie shooting is not that easy. An
artificial research center involving computers
and other gadgets was built inside the real
research center.
The scene is that of the research center
getting destroyed in an accident. Art director
Prabhakaran won accolades from the crew
for his work on the artificial research
center that gets destroyed in the shoots.
Oscar Ravichandran, the producer of the
movie has already spent crores for the movie
and is ready to pump in more.

The
crew also traveled to Malaysia to shoot few of
the song and fight sequences. Readers would remember
that one of our visitors Ramesh Rao had sent us
the news on Kamal and others involved in Akido
(a martial art) in Malaysia. |

Dance
sequence involving Kamal Haasan and Malikka
Sherawat along with twenty odd American
models was shot in the plush night club
in Malaysia. The Dasavatharam team also
shot at Malaysian flight cargo. People gathered
to see the shooting were disappointed that
Kamal did not turn up for the shoots, but
actually Kamal finished his work and walked
away in front of them. Such was the make
up, that Mosherum the make up man from America
was full of pride in his face. Not to leave
behind the hair stylist Anil.
The scenes involving eight characters are
shot and the remaining two would be completed
by the month of April. “Dasavatharam
will create history in Tamil cinemas. |
|
|
Hope
it creates history in the collections too”
said the producer Oscar Ravichandran. “It
is like going to an institute and am learning
new things every day in the shoots of Dasavatharam”
said the cameraman Ravi Verman. “Dasavatharam
has taken my cinema life to another level and
in another direction” said the director
K.S.Ravikumar.
We are all still eager to know the remaining eight
characters. We have pictures of Kamal in an African
tribal get up and there are talks that Kamal is
doing a role of a young beautiful girl. Wonder
there is anyone like the Ulaganayagan in this
Ulagam (world). Behindwoods.com would keep you
updated on any developments in Dasavatharam. |
