Dasvatharam: The number cruncher
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,October 19 2007]
Is 'Dasavatharam' the costliest movie in Tamil ever?
This is a question that is ringing with resonance all over Tamil Nadu, and particularly in Kollywood.
This Kamal Haasan magnum opus has him in pioneering 'deca' roles --- all of them totally new and with different voices.
Now that the shooting has been wound up, Kamal and director K S Ravikumar are fully immersed in the post-production work, and this involves some interesting and never-before-tried graphics effort.
Sources in the industry have it that the producer Oscar Ravichandran has stopped at nothing in making the film one of the grandest.
A song has been shot for over Rs.3 crore and the total budget of the film may even touch Rs 70 crore, some sources connected with the film divulge, indeed if that is the case, 'Dasavatharam' may be the costliest film ever made in Tamil.
