Dasavatharam in a religious tangle

Dasavatharam directed by K S Ravikumar with Kamal in ten different getups is ready for release soon. The audio release of the film was conducted amidst much fanfare recently. However the film appears to have caught itself on the wrong foot now with Vishwa Hindu Parishad. It has been said that the film has portrayed the clash between

Saivism and Vaishnavism which prevailed in the 16th century in the film in an objectionable manner. It is reported that many statues of Hindu Gods have been shown to be destroyed which are highly controversial and hurt the sentiments of Hindus all over the world.

While condemning such scenes, VHP leader Vedantham had stated that the scenes in question be removed soon failing which they will be holding agitations in front of the theatres where the film would be screened. It is expected that the concerned authorities will look into the matter and the issue will be solved amicably.
