It's believed that such a feat has never been accomplished by an actor in Indian or Hollywood cinema.
Popular Tamil actress Asin Thottumkal will be seen playing a dual role in this action movie - one of which is portraying the love interest of Kamal Hasan.
Beautiful Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat makes a foray into Tamil cinema in Dasavatharam, said to have taken three years in the making.
The basic storyline is being kept a closely guarded secret by the Tamil producer – presumably another marketing ploy to attract an inquisitive audience.
Hollywood action choreographer Andy Dixon, who worked on films like Miami Vice, Transporter 2 and Ace Ventura - Pet Detective, has supervised the car chases towards the climax of this movie.
