Close on the heels of Sivaji, film-buffs eagerly await the release of Kamal Haasan's Dasavatharam. One of the costliest ventures in Tamil cinema, the movie is being produced by Oscar Ravichandran.

Featuring Kamal Haasan in ten different roes, the movie is nearing completion. The latest buzz is that the makers of Dasavatharam are keen on completing the movie by July and plans for a release this Deepavali.

Plans are on to come up with a huge set replicating the shores of Marina near Royapuram.

Director K S Ravikumar is planning to shoot the tsunami, which struck the coast of Tamilnadu, a couple of years ago. Art director Thotta Tharani is entrusted with the job. A fishing hamlet and an artificial beach are coming up near Royapuram for the purpose.

A few days ago, a major sequence of the movie was shot in a church at Royapuram. Getting grand day after day is Dasavatharam.
