Actor Kamal Haasan’s much-awaited ‘Dasavatharam’ was expected to be released on Tamil New Year’s Day. However, the team has been working on the computer graphics, causing a delay in completion. The word is that it would take a couple of months before the film hits the cinemas.

All the same, news about actor Jackie Chan coming for the audio launch scheduled on April 25 has been doing the rounds for a while, causing some excitement. Industry sources say the actor was paid a huge sum (a few crores) to participate in the event.

He will take a special charter flight to reach Chennai and an entire floor in Hotel Park Sheraton has been booked for the actor and his associates.

The launch, to be held at the Nehru Indoor Stadium, will also have leading actors representing other film industries in India, including Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan, Mammootty representing the Malayalam industry, Kannada actor Vishnuvardhan and actor Vijay.

The climax song penned by lyricist Vairamuthu, ‘Ulaganayaganae…’, and set to music by music director Himesh Reshammiya will have Kamal in all the 10 avtars. Director K.S. Ravikumar will make an appearance, and shots of the process Kamal went through for the different guises have been included. Sony is said to have received orders for about 50,000 copies of the music CD.

Director P. Vasu, who is busy with ‘Superstar’ Rajinikanth’s film ‘Kuchelan’, is lately amused by rumours about a possible inclusion of several leading stars in a song. “Why would we do that…something on those lines has already been tried in a recent Hindi film. It is absolutely false…,” he told The .

The director said the shoot was on in full swing. Apart from actor Pasupathy, who plays the super hero’s friend, actor Prabu plays an interesting role as Rajinikanth’s security officer, he said.

Tension mounted in the city as the bronze statue of freedom fighter, Muthuramalinga Thevar at Goripalayam junction, was desecrated by some miscreants by smearing cow dung. The stains were noticed by two women, Perumayi and Santhanammal of Sellur around 8.30 am on Monday. On information, the community leaders and representatives of All India Forward Block, Moovendar Munnetra Munnani, Dravida Vizhipunarchi Kazhagam and AIADMK, gathered at the junction and demanded immediate action against the culprits. The crowd damaged bicycles parked nearby and threatened shop owners to down shutters. Police resorted to lathicharge as some of them pelted stones at them. Later speaking to mediapersons, the state organising secretary of AIFB, P V Kathiravan, said this was the sixth such incident in the southern districts after the centenary celebration of Thevar Jeyanthi in October last. He demanded stringent action against the culprits and dismissal of police personnel in-charge of safety of the statue. In view of the incident, buses through Goripalayam junction were diverted and the place wore a deserted look for about an hour. Later fire personnel cleaned the statue. Leaders performed a palabishegam and garlanded the statue. Many arrested, buses damaged Around 62 men, including the founder leader of the MMK, Sethuraman, were arrested in Madurai, when they tried to create a road blockade condemning the desecration of the statue. As many as 52 buses were damaged during agitations held in various parts of the district condemning the desecration. About 205 persons were arrested. According to Boopathy, general manager of TNSTC, Madurai, the windshields of 52 buses have been damaged in the agitations across the district. However, except minor injury to two drivers, no one was injured in the stone pelting incidents. The damage caused so far to the TNSTC buses has been estimated to be Rs 1 lakh.
