Playing ten roles in the Rs 60-crore ($15 million) Dasavatharam, Kamal Hassan pushes the boundaries of cinema. M.C. Rajan in Mail Today:
Like many young Tamilians of his days, the young Kamal Hassan too spent most of his time in cinema theatres. He saw MGR’s classic, Madurai Veeran, 120 times. It must have been in the awe-filled hours in the theatre that Kamal Hassan the actor took shape. His destiny in away was foretold. The boy who came from little known Paramakudi in the backward Ramanathapuram district has been known for long as the actor who pushes boundaries. In his 214th film, the Rs 60-crore spy-thriller Dasavatharam which was released to popular acclaim this week, Kamal Hassan has pushed the borders of every known cinematic concept.
