Sometime back, a young man by name Senthil Kumar had filed a case in the court claiming that Dasavatharam is indeed his story which has been plagiarized by Kamal Hassan.
According to this gentleman, he had approached Kamal's office with a story a few months back. Looking visibly impressed with his story, Kamal's office had promised Senthil Kumar that he would be absorbed as an assistant director in Kamal's next film and would be appropriately compensated too. But much to Senthil' shock and surprise, the news about the commencement of Dasavatharam had started appearing in the media which had his storyline.
Aggrieved by this he has moved the court for justice. Now summons have been issued to producer, director and Kamal Hassan to appear before the court. The release of the film is also stalled for four weeks.
This has brought down the morale of the unit significantly. But totally unperturbed and undaunted by all these events, Kamal is getting geared up for the next schedule which is slated to be held in Malaysia in the month of February. When Kamal was quizzed on this, he seemed a relaxed man. According to the veteran, such episodes are absolutely normal in this industry. He also adds, "It was an uphill task during the making of Virumandi when someone claimed that it was his story which appeared in a weekly magazine. But the release of the film silenced all my adversaries. But these things cannot tire me out. Dasavatharam would hit the screens as per schedule."
Though Kamal appears cool and composed, this has certainly rocked the boat from producer's side. As Dasavatharam happens to be a mega budget film, any deviations or delay in the release of the film is sure to affect the film on the commercial front which may have serious repercussions. This may also cause a cascading effect on the other films produced by Oscar films like 'Pachaikili Muthucharam, Unnale Unnale and Marudamalai.
