The Dasavatharam jinx

Kamal’s Dasavatharam is slated for release on June 6th, so is the Amithabh family starrer Sarkar Raj. Well, we have reason to call it the Big B family movie. The movie has Amitabh Bachan, Abhishekh Bachan, and Aishwarya Rai in the cast – that is more than half of the family. There is more than just that that meets the eye in the two releases. Here is how.

The Amitabh – Abishekh – Priety starrer Jhoom Barabara Jhoom was released on June 15th last year, the same day as Sivaji was released all over. Despite discontented murmurs from the multiplex owners, Yash Raj films decided to release the film on the same day. The rest, as they say, is history.

Although Sarkar Raj has a mega star cast and a smash hit first part (Sarkar) to its credit, only time will decide if it can stand the test of (Dasavatharam) time.
