Dasavatharam Movie by Kamal

The movie is based on a Spanish film Tempus Fugit a time-travel concept which spans centuries.

A prominent character in Tempus Fugit is a football fan and there is an important scene in a football stadium. Kamal is said to have got permission from Karunanidhi, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, to shoot in the Nehru Stadium of Chennai.
Kamal has got the rights of the Spanish film TEMPUS FUGIT.

Dasavatharam literally means the Ten Avathars of Lord Maha Vishnu. Why Kamal chose this title, when he is a DK ideologist is a mystery.
Probably Sivaji’s ‘Navarathri’ in which Nadigar Thilgam does a nine character role must have inspired him.

Directed by KS Ravikumar, Produced by Oscar Ravichandran, Story by Kamal Haasan, Dialogue by Crazy Mohan and Starring Asin, Mallika Sherawat, Jayaprada, Napolean, Santhana Bharathi, M.S. Baskar, Nagesh, and K.R. Vijaya.

Sneha on her forthcoming films

Actress Sneha is thrilled that 2008 has opened with a bang for her. After the success of ‘Pirivom Sandhippom’, she is busy acting in half-a-dozen movies all different from each other.

She plays a cameo in ‘Kuselan’. Besides she is part of ‘Pandi’, ‘Silambattam’ and ‘Achchamundu Achchamundu’.

According to her, 'This year is about variety. You'll see me playing well-nuanced roles in films such as ‘Achchamundu Achchamundu’ (with Prasanna), ‘Silambattam’ (With Simbu), ‘Aruvadai‘ (with Mammootty) and ‘Pandi’ (With Ragava Larencce). Today, directors don't shy away from experiments. So it's the right time for actors to challenge stereotypes.'

Moral brigade after Mallika Sherawat

After Shriya Saran, it is the turn of Mallika Sherawat to face the wrath of so-called guardians of Tamil culture over improper attire at a film function. On Thursday, Kanirajan, a young Hindu Makkal Katchi activist submitted a petition at the Periampet police station claiming that her dress and behaviour at an audio event hurt the sentiments of Tamils.

“She sat cross legged on the stage where the chief minsiter was seated,” added the petitioner. The occasion was the audio release function of ‘Dasavatharam’, starring Kamal Hassan which was held at nehru Indoor Stadium on April 25. Chief minister M Karunanidhi was the chief guest at the event, which was also attended by Jackie Chan, Amitabh Bachchan, Mammooty, Hema Malini and others.

HMK, had shot off a petition in January against Shriya Saran’s choice of dress at the silver jubilee celebrations of ‘Sivaji’ starring Rajnikanth and Shriya. The heroine had swiftly tendered an apology for inadevertently offending the sentiments of the Tamil people, and claimed that she had come straight from a film shoot.

The controversy briefly echoed in the assembly as well, when PMK’s MLA Vel Murugan raked up the issue of the actor’s choice of dress.

In November last year, the same political outfit had raised a hue and cry over a photograph of actor Khushboo caught seated with her slippers in front of an idol of Hindu deities Lakshmi, Saraswathi and Parvathi, at a film ‘muhurat.’ Source: timesofindia
