Kamal Haasan in court for “plagiarism”

Actor Kamal Haasan on Thursday appeared before the Madras High Court in connection with a plagiarism case relating to the story of his under-production film ‘Dashaavtaram’.

When the case came up for hearing on thursday morning, a Division Bench, comprising Chief Justice AP Shah and Justice P Jothimani, directed the actor’s counsel PS Raman to ensure that Kamal appeared before the court.


As per the directive, the actor along with his counsel appeared in the chambers of the Chief Justice around 2.30PM. The in-camera proceedings lasted nearly 30 minutes, after which he left.

Earlier, Senthil Kumar, who had filed an appeal challenging the single judge’s order rejecting his contention that the story was his, appeared before the bench along with his counsel.

The Bench later adjourned the case to August 13.

P.Vasu is playing a villain role in Dasavatharam

It must now be stale news that a tsunami effect is being created for Dasavatharam climax scene. Machines were procured from abroad to generate huge waves at the sea shore for the purpose. The set, which was created for a whopping Rs. 3.5 crores, is said to compete with the likes of Hollywood’s Day After Tomorrow or Perfect storm.

Also another sequence where in all the ten characters played by Kamal Haasan meeting together was also shot.

Buzz is that the crew is planning to shoot a helicopter shot from the top of the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai for later this week. Kamal Haasan had obtained special permission for this from Chief Minister M Karunanidhi for the purpose.

Meanwhile a section of press had carried photographs of Kamal Haasan appearing as George Bush. It may be recalled that a grand set replicating the White House was put up in Chennai recently.

Kamal Haasan goes through at least a three-hour make-up for every character he plays. And the make-up is not just for his face but for the entire body. The movie is said to have been shot for 280 days across the globe – from USA-Malaysia-Mumbai-Chennai. The cast and crew have had one of their best experiences while shooting and they will never forget these 280 days, sources say.

A chasing scene where a Police officer Kamal chases a baddie in Malaysian Airport, is said to have come out fantastically and when the chase is on, another Kamal Haasan character also chips in to help the police man Kamal. This scene is definitely going to bring the house down with claps.

There is some news that director P Vasu is playing a villain role in Dasavatharam.

If ever there is a perfectionist in his craft in the present set up in Kollywood, the trophy should go to none other than Kamal Hassan. The man constantly springs a surprise about his efforts in preparing for his film projects. Every film of his carries something novel, something special. It is difficult to miss out on the innovations he attempts in each venture.

Kamal in US

Take his forthcoming film, Dasavatharam. He had started preparing for this film even while working on VV. It is an ambitious role for Kamal because he plays ten different persons. He knows pretty well that he cannot hark back to the old methods of merely changing hair styles or body language. So, he flew in to the USA looking for special techniques in make up. A leading make up artist (yes, that’s what they are called there!) Westmore worked with Kamal for nearly three weeks and came up with eight different styles.
Ravikumar overawed by Kamal’s commitment

Director of the film and a close friend of Kamal, K.S. Ravikumar said, ”I am sure Dasavatharam will mark a major milestone in Kamal’s cinematic journey. It has a novel story and the treatment is modern. I am just overawed by Kamal’s commitment in making this film an enjoyable treat for the viewers. I was with him during the make up trials and he would spend hours discussing with Westmore before being convinced. He also tried on the make up patiently and let me tell you it is so different that if Kamal were to walk the streets of Chennai in any one of them, no one would be able to recognize him.

Kamal
In case he asked for directions in any locality in Chennai one might unwittingly entertain him. Eight styles are ready and two more to go. As the make up test is over, shooting would commence soon.”

Oscar Films Ravichandran is the producer. So, guys, get ready for a rollicking outing with ten different Kamals.
