It is surprising to see director K.S. Ravikumar, the easy going guy, getting so excited. He could not control his enthusiasm when he talks about the film and of course, Kamal Haasan’s avatars.

The director says that he is not in the film just for the money. The film is so special to him that his commitment towards the film goes beyond the factors like money. According to him Kamal was unidentifiable even at the shooting spot. "People used to come to the sets looking for him. Except me no one would know that he is right in front of them”, says the director.

K.S. Ravikumar gives a detailed account of Computer Graphics work. “95 percent of the film involves Computer Graphics. It is required wherever we try to bring together the different characters played by a same person. When the five characters in a particular shot are played by one person, we need to shoot them separately and then bring them together in one scene by means of graphics”.

As far as the stunts are concerned, “we have used motion cameras to shoot certain stunts," K.S. Ravikumar informs.

The tsunami scene is among the special scenes in the movie. The experience of shooting the scene was quite terrible. "While shooting the tsunami scene," Ravikumar recalls, "the gush of water was opened, and the actors were out of sight in a flash of a second. We didn’t expect the water to come gushing out so forcefully; I was caught completely off guard." It took time for the whole unit to recover from the shock.

‘Dasavadharam’ is undoubtedly shaping up as one of the most exciting experiences that have ever happened on Indian screen.
