What must be the greatest advantage that an actor possessing a caliber like Kamal Haasan enjoys in going for roles that comes as complete strangers to the list of the kind of characters that film lovers have ever seen on the screens?

The answer is that neither hardcore film enthusiasts nor people who have the minimum required knowledge on films and are least interested even in a casual teal shop discussion about actors or about the latest happenings in the film industries will ever doubt whether he will be able to carry off 10 different roles with 10 different voices and physical attributes breathing air into a story that spans hundreds of years.

Only a few actors ever come close to go for these kinds of challenges and explaining why Kamal Haasan chooses these kinds of films is of no need and is practically impossible as only the great actor himself can explain how he decides on his next project.

And when the veteran actor has formed a team with the best of the cream of the actors and technicians and person like K.S.Ravikumar sitting in the director's chair and Oscar Ravichandran financing the project, fantastic promos that have already captured the cinema lovers attention, uncountable press reports and the Asian Hollywood star Jackie Chan himself attending the audio release in Chennai, We can ask is there anything else that is to be done now to make sure that this attempt will remain a unique one till the end of time?

So is there anything more than this film should ask for and look into its arsenal to finish up any uncompleted tasks that can push the film even higher?

Being the chief guest of the audio launch function and himself admitting about the impact and quality of the movie after watching the promos, Jackie Chan is entitled to get a copy of the whole film.

So the makers of Kamal Haasan's epic movie are also planning to send the copy of the film to Jackie chan.

But, any wild guesses to know who is the next person who the producer of the epic film is trying to get to see their dear baby film conceived extracting the best drops of tremendous self belief and withstanding the onslaught of creative confusion that descends like a smog before the eternal sunlight comes in the form of crystal clear polished refined ideas fully ready to be executed tearing it apart.

The makers of 'Dasavathar' is now trying to get the President of United states of America George Bush to get to see the film as they feel that it will add to the status of the film.

They are trying to get the print of the film to the American President through the Governor of the state of Louisana Bobby Jindal who other than being a person of Indian origin is also the youngest governor of the state that he represents and also the first non-white Governor in U.S.A. in 130 years.

For this purpose a print of the film along with notes on the movie has been already sent to Bobby Jindal.

And if ever Geroge Bush happens to watch the movie, do you think he will fail to include it in his collection of presents that he has got during his tenure in the White House as everyone knows that the America President is one of the 10 roles enacted by Kamal Hassan in 'Dasavathar'.

So just think of George Bush's excitement when he sees himself on the screen.

The makers of the movie is trying for more ways to make 'Dasavathar' a film which has more number ones in its kitty even before its release.

This film will always be considered in the history of Indian Films as one of the few works that have managed to create hype to this extent and got a kind of attention from the members of the audience like never before.

But Until the hour before the release of this film there is enough and more time to expect more juicy information regarding the film or just about anything that is related to the film and who knows the makers must have already thought of some novel ways to be used as the ultimate publicity weapon in the final days leading to the countdown.

The suspense about what this movie is all about, the increasing impatience to feast the eyes on this visual extravaganza and the urge to see a great actor enacting ten different roles with ten sounds trying for a colossal of a movie that will never get even a scratch of doubt of its greatness even after years.

These feelings have been building up for quite sometime now and scaled new heights after the coming of Jackie Chan for the music release and now for most of film lovers across India, the more they get exposed to the features and the released trailers of 'Dasavathar', the more higher climbs their anxiety to see the magnum opus unfolding on the big screens.

But the wait can get longer according to the producer Oscar Ravichandran.

If the much talked about 30 second Tsunami scene which is yet to be completed is wrapped up as per the schedule the film will be beamed in the theatres on May 23 or else June 6 will be the day for the liberation for Kamal Haasan's dream project.

More than 400 theaters have already being booked by the producer for the release.

The petition filed against the film in the court on the grounds that it hurts the sentiments of Hindus has also added a little bit of spice to hype surrounding the movie.

Oscar Ravichandran has given a reply to the court stating that there is no intention to hurt the sentiments of Hindus but he has also informed that no date has been yet fixed for the release of the movie.

There is still a slight chance that the much eagerly awaited release can get delayed.

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.

Kerala film lovers are known for their penchant for realistic films with soft-natured stories. Now the trend is slowly changing and they have started to enjoy action films like their counterparts in Tamilnadu. Ajith’s action flick ‘Billa’ grossing in more money than that of Mohanlal’s film ‘Flash’ with tender story stands testimony to this.

This is not the only example. Our counterparts in Kerala are following other trends too from Tamilnadu. In Tamilnadu we have separate magazines for the stars like MGR, Rajini, Kamal, Vijay, and Ajith just to mention a few. There are nearly 25 such magazines. They come regularly and have their own clientele.

Now in Kerala our fellow neighbors are following the same trend. There are separate magazines for Mammootty and Mohanlal that have started making the rounds and are being received well.

Seems like ‘the God’s own country’ is following Tamilnadu in taste and hero worship too. So…. what would be the next thing on the cards? Movie stars slowly entering into politics or probably temples built for film personalities?

Actor Kamal Haasan will now join hands with the Walt Disney Productions, who are expected to produce his forthcoming film ‘Marma Yogi’.

Walt Disney Productions, which recently tied up with Yash Raj Films for a full-length animated feature film called ‘Roadside Romeo’, wants to expand its operations across the country. So they have decided to start a venture with the versatile actor cum filmmaker.

The Kamal-Walt Disney venture will be co-produced by Bharath Bala, who produced A. R. Rahman’s patriotic music video Vande Mataram. ‘Marma Yogi’ will also bring Kamal and Rahman together after a long gap.

’Marma Yogi’ will be a period film, set in the seventh century, which will have erstwhile Bollywood heartthrob Hema Malini.

Kamal and Hema Malini had earlier teamed up in ‘Hey Ram’. Asin, the heroine of ‘Dasavadharam’, will play a key role. The film will probably be directed by Kamal Haasan.

‘Marma Yogi’ is said to be one of the costliest films ever made in India with a budget of Rs. 90 crore. Kamal will shortly go to the US to discuss the production of this film, which is slated to be shot in Thailand. The shooting might get started by February.
