Chennai, June 14 | Kamal Haasans Tamil action thriller Dasavatharam completes 13 years of release on Monday.
The actor, who also was the writer of the film, has played 10 different characters in the film. He recalls how the script was rejected by many filmmakers, before director K.S Ravikumar came on board.
Dasavatharam was a script which was declined by many directors who said they didnt understand it, and quite unexpectedly Mr Ravikumar jumped at it. He immediately claimed it a winner on cards and was surprised that it was turned down and asked to make the film while on a telephonic conversation with me at Eldams road. Thats how the movie came into being, shares Kamal.
The veteran actor also shares how well-known filmmaker Mukta Srinivasan advised him to give the film his undivided attention.
Most of the time I work alone and like to take the opinion of seniors and well-wishers while on a project. For Dasavatharam it wasnt any different and thus I wanted to take Mr Mukta Srinivasans opinion as he has string instincts and is a brilliant short story writer. He heard the Dasavatharam script and he said Kamal, you must watch over the film closely as its your idea and go further and say foster it like your child. They will kill the child otherwise if you only decide to walk in and out of shoot. I took his advice and spent all my time on it, Kamal shares.
The actor recalls how he shared the story with close friends and colleagues, which gave confidence to go ahead.
Once I finished the logline with Mukta Srinivasan, the director was still sceptical about the way the script was written. We had Sujatha, Madhan, Ramesh Arvind, and Crazy Mohan sit with us for a narration and I answered all the questions they kept asking. It was a very important exercise as they are all experts and have the expertise to analyse the script. My biggest support was from Sujatha who said you got it bang on man. The rest were new to the ideation, scale and budget, he says.
