If true, it was money well-spent for Jackie Chan has already agreed to do a movie with producer V Ravichandran (Oscar Films Private Limited) that will also have a top Bollywood star. "Details of the new project will follow the release of the film," was all that Ravichandran was willing to divulge at this stage.

The coup de grace was roping in Jackie Chan who drew an impressive applause from the 10,000-12,000 strong crowd in the Nehru Indoor stadium each time he crinkled his eyes in a smile to the crowd. Mallika Sherawat in a little black Anita Dongre dress with a generous see-through back and midriff was definite eye candy for the crowds. But it was Kamal Haasan who remained the chief attraction for the crowds packed in the stadium. So much so that Big B, observing that a mention of Haasan's name never failed to draw a round of applause, ended his speech by loudly uttering his name thrice in succession which obviously met with loud cheering.

The impressive turnout of actors and fans (quite a few were turned away at the gates) was something of an indicator of the high expectations Haasan acolytes have from Dasavatharam. According to producer Ravichandran, Dasavatha- ram, along with a big budget of 60 crore-the film has an unusual subject that defies categorisation. The work on the film is almost complete and the movie is likely to be released towards the end of May in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Hindi. Ravi, is confident that the movie will impress audiences across the country. "It's going to be a super-hit all across the country. There are people like Himesh Reshammiya, Jaya Prada and Mallika Sherawat (she plays a small, negative role) who are part of the film, which is going to make it popular even with audiences in the north," he asserted. The film that has got a U certificate from the Censor Board is heavy on special effects and has on board Michael Westmore, the make-up supervisor and designer for Star Trek series and Brian M Jennings for visual effects.

Considering the lukewarm response recent releases have received, this could well be the entertainer to watch out for.

Over the weekend in Chennai, Jackie Chan made a hurricane visit, waved at thousands of fans, attended the music release of Kamal Haasan’s movie, Dasavatharam and left.

The whole exercise lasted for a mere 24 hours. And guess what his biggest blunder was? “I forgot to promote my own film, Forbidden Kingdom, which is releasing in India this week. For the first time, I will be coming on the screen with another of my favourite action hero, Jet Li,” said Jackie. We also asked him what he thought of Mallika Sherawat.

“Oh she’s a darling; I would love to do another film with her. And I’m sure the feeling is mutual,” he laughs. Here’s to their mutual admiration society, then! Read More ...

So the great day is finally near.

A new chapter is going to be written in the history of Kollywood and the whole of the Indian film Industry when the music launching function of Kamal Haasan’s next movie takes place.

A whole stadium having the capacity of 5000 people will witness the launch of the music by none other than one of the most popular actor in the world Jackie Chan.

Bollywood Superstar Amitabh Bachchan will receive the audio C.D. from Jackie Chan.

The function will be graced by the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu K.Karunanidhi who is chief guest of the programe.

Malayalam Superstars Mammootty , Illayathalapathy Vijay, M.P. and Actress Hema Malini, B-Town heart throb Mallika Sherawat and Kollywood pin up girl Asin, are some of the hot shot celebrities who will be attending the grand event at Nehru indoor Stadium in Chennai.

By what has till now come up in the media about the film, everyone who is keenly waiting the release of this movie knows about the peculiarities that it is going to offer.

Right from the never ever experienced before story of the film and a complex story-telling technique, the ten different roles in a single movie by Kamal Haasan, the substantial use of visual effects and graphics, a perfect replica model of the house of America’s President The White House and even a tsunami recreated in the sets for a particular portion of the ‘Dasavadharam’, the colossal film directed by K.S.Ravikumar and produced by Oscar Ravichandran is going to be a master piece and one gem of a show reel experience for film lovers.

Kamal Haasan himself stating that ‘Dasavadharam’ combines the humor and fun of ‘Michael Madana Kamarana’, the sadness of ‘Mahanadhi’ and the emotions of ‘Thevar Magan’ and ‘Hey Ram’ have increased the curiosity about the films content among the members of the audience.

But for now the wait for this magnum opus film is getting too hard to handle.
