When we returned with the photographs, my producer and the team were surprised by the outcome and convinced by this film. For 20 days I would put on make-up for 12 hours and later we did five days of shooting photographs. We started our first schedule of 25 days with no shooting or acting but just make-up trials under the Hollywood make-up artist Michael West. I have been living with Dasavatharam for the last two years and to put all this together in a film of three hours is an amazing experience. How was your experience of preparing and playing these characters? I have tried my best to make your time worthwhile and let's hope I have succeeded in it. I don't think any actor in any part of the world has acted 10 such radically different characters in a film. The language, voice, storyline and background of each character are different.

What I can tell you is that while I am acting a few of these characters you will see me as my normal self while the idea behind at least seven characters is not to let you recognise me. So, I am not telling you about my characters. The USP of Dasavatharam is not talking about the 10 characters but acting it out for you. The unique selling point (USP) of Dasavatharam is supposed to be the ten characters you play in the film. The film is also dubbed in French.Įxcerpts from the interview with Kamal Hassan: Dasavatharam is touted as India's most expensive film to date and is expected to be released in Hindi as Dashavtar. The film co-stars Asin and Mallika Sherawat, and has Himesh Reshammiya scoring for a south Indian film for the first time in his career.

Besides acting, Kamal Hassan also wrote the story, screenplay and the dialogues for the film. In Dasavatharam, to be released here on June 5, Kamal Hassan plays the role of ten different characters. Award-winning South Indian super star Kamal Hassan is easily one of the finest actors India has ever produced.
