While Kamal and KS Ravikumar are busy with Dasavatharam, news has emerged that Vadivelu was contacted for a role in the movie but he refused. This is not very new for a Kamal movie. Meena refusing the role in Thevar Magan which ultimately went to Revathi, due to lack of dates, made big news at that time.

A smaller development is Kapilan, the lyricist, making his debut in front of the camera. We can trust Kamal to throw light on yet another talented person.

After being away on this birthday, Kamal had scheduled a meeting with his fans on the 4th of February. This served as a photo opportunity and also to do some donation.

The photos featured here are from Keerthivasan Rajamani, who also recounts his experience. He even clicked a photo of Kamal’s car, a Toyota Prado 4111 (partially seen).

Read the news, watch a video and see more photos. Also, check out this rare casual photo.

Came across an ad posted on a blog which interestingly gives out some details about Dasavatharam shooting in Malaysia. Firstly, we learn about a Malaysian company co-producing the movie. The ad requests for several extras with “Japanese look (Chinese / Malay)” for a scene in Asian Martial Art Village, Rantau, Negeri Sembilan during February 11-12. Guess this gives an opportunity for Malaysian Tamilians (maybe even other Indians) to throng the location. But unfortunately, they won’t get a chance to feature as extras!

While the shooting of Dasavatharam proceeds as secretive as ever, a few crumbs become available to us through the rumour mills. Currently, it is going on in Chengalpet area (not very far away from Chennai). Here’s an interesting tidbit about how Kamal is helping manage the crowds that have thronged to get a glimpse of him. Meanwhile, we hear talk of Asin’s double role again and the release date is hovering between June and August.
