Veteran director K S Ravikumar's dream project with Himesh Reshammiya's thunderous music and Kamal's ace performance is a movie that's sure to bombard the box-office and upset all previous records. So let us embark on this amazing journey.
Dasavathaaram, the most expected movie of 2008, features Kamal Haasan and Asin in the lead roles. Planned for release sometime in the middle of the year, Dasavathaaram is a class in itself for it features Kamal in ten different roles. K S Ravikumar is directing this mega budget movie for Oscar Ravichandran. Himesh Reshammiya from Bollywood is scoring the music. This is his debut in Kollywood.
Kamal, always known in the industry for trying out something new, is handling ten different roles in this movie. It looks like he is trying to break the record of Sivaji Ganesan's nine roles in ‘Navaratri'.
The movie is being shot in different locations in India , Malaysia and the US . When the hero does something, should not the heroine follow? Kamal's ten roles are countered by Asin's dual role in the movie. This is the first time in her career Asin is playing dual role. Mallika Sherawat appears in a very special role. She appears as a CIA agent. Another prominent actor joining the cast is Jayaprada.
Talking about Kamal's ten avataars, K.S.Ravikumar says that except for three roles that he dons, Kamal will be totally "unidentifiable" in all the others. The actor will be playing the role of both the hero and the villain in the movie. The crew of the film includes both national as well as internationally acclaimed technicians. The storyline of the movie has been kept a secret till now. Michael Westmore from Hollywood is taking care of the make ups for Kamal. The first scene of the movie was alone shot at a cost of 3 crores and Kamal appeared as a Brahmin in it.

WARNING: The following section contains SPOILER.
Story:
The movie begins with King Kulothunga of Tanjore played by Napoleon loosing the war. Frustrated by this mockery, he throws the statue of a goddess into the sea. In the same town, lives an ordinary old man who is an atheist. Though he has no faith in God, he is the one to hop and take hold of statue that is thrown into the sea.
The story immediately shifts to 21st century from 12th century and we have a foreigner tracing the same statue with the group of CIA agents among whom Malikka Sherawat is the one. In Chennai, it’s a police cop who tries saving the statue from the clutches of foreigners. So how does one of the Kamal along with the help of Asin gets back the statue forms the crux of story. Also buzzes are that the statue seems to be a biological weapon and that’s reason a great hunt goes for it!!!
