Dasavatharam, the magnum opus of Kamal Haasan is all set to hit the theatres on the 6th of June. The film is getting released simultaneously in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi. Producer Aascar (formerly Oscar) Ravichandran is in a buoyant spirit. At the initial stage one thousand prints are getting released and as a means to draw more crowds and generate
good business at the C centres, a hefty amount has been reduced there. This strategy has been viewed as a positive trend by the trade pundits.
While discussing about the film Ravichandran states, “The duration of the film is for three hours and the film has been shot in eight overseas locations which includes America, Japan, Malaysia and United Kingdom. In India the film was shot in Tamil Nadu, Mumbai, Hyderabad and many other places”. He further adds that Dasavatharam has spine-tingling action sequences which include airplane chasing and also a car chasing which is sure to bring joy to all action buffs. The shooting was completed in 280 days while Kamal had worked for thirty months for this film. As a lavish producer, he has spent 6 crores for advertisement alone for Dasavatharam.
On 30th May, a special screening has been scheduled for honorable Chief Minister Karunanidhi who is said to have expressed his desire to view this film. On Kamal’s ten avatars, Ravichandran says that around twenty days have been utilized to shoot the portion of every single avatar of Kamal. Ravi seems to have been awestruck by Kamal’s dedication and says that his intelligence is equal to that of one hundred IAS officers. On a signing note, he says that a 1962 verdict of Supreme Court indicated that if a film has been certified by censor board and in the event of problems arising during its release, Government should provide adequate protection during its screening. Hence he does not fear any untoward incident during the release of Dasavatharam.
