The post production of Dasavatharam took 10 months for the finishing point.
Not at all in the history of Indian Cinema has a movie been made with this much of money and time with no break or interval at any stages of the production.
Apart from 10 characters of Kamal Haasan and ever since budget this movie also reduced the gap between Hollywood and Indian film Industry as Make-up, Stunt, Sound Recording, Visual Effects related works were carried out collectively by the technicians from both the industries.
Kamal dons the role of a scientist as well as the President of USA George Bush out of the ten characters. In a sequence a scientist (Kamal) is being felicitated for his new invention by President George Bush (Kamal). This ceremony is held at Chepauk Stadium since the scientist pertains to Tamil Nadu. After conceiving this scene Kamal felt it would be appropriate if the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Mr Karunanidhi appeared in this scene as CM. So he had approached the CM who readily agreed to appear in the scene. Karunanidhi was filmed at his residence in blue-matt format, where he is shot against a blue background which could be later transformed into the required scene with the help of computer Going one step ahead Kamal wanted one more important person to appear in this scene. That person was the former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Selvi J.Jayalalitha who also readily agreed to don the cameo role.
Jayalalithaa was not available for a blue-matt shoot, the crew used file shots of the AIADMK leader visiting tsunami-hit areas in a helicopter to be added to the Karunanidhi scene, with her permission.
Both Karunanidhi and Jayalalithaa trace their political roots to the Tamil film industry. According to the shot, she would accompany the scientist in a helicopter and descend on the dais.DPI leader Thirumavalavan also makes an appearance in the film where he makes a revolutionary speech which is sure to create ripples among the audiences.
Jayalalitha and Karunanidhi to appear in a same line together

Kollywood cannot enter America
American embassy, yesterday announced that their government has banned more than 200 cine personalities belonging to Kollywood.The reason is that Kollywoodians have involved in human trafficking.
The modes operandi is, Kollywoodians easily get visa to America. With them they used to apply for few more visas projecting them as for their assistants. So, the assistants visa application too gets through. The people who want to reach US to settle down there, easily fly with these Kollywoodians as if they are their assistants.
After reaching US they stay back there itself. Now US government has identified our greater ones and have banned them reaching US.
Surya Opens Out
While Ajith goes on doing three to four movies a year, Vijay does just two while Surya restricts to one movie a year.
We were wondering why Surya is just doing one movie a year, is this because he gets very few chances to act?
When we contacted Surya, he replied "I want to give the best to my audience and for this reason I don't accept offers that are not worthy. I also want to give atleast one uniqueness in every movie. That's the reason I do one movie a year"
More than about his career and plans he speaks more about Jothika and his daughter.
Vellithirai Review
There is nothing more complicated in tinsel town than remaking a masterpiece and Debutant Vijay marks his directorial venture with a good flick. Earlier, Viji had penned dialogues for most of the films produced by Duet Movies like Azhagiya Theeya, Ponnyinin Selvan and Mozhi. Vellithirai brings again the successful duo Prakash Raj – Prithviraj together and the director has been successful in bringing out the best from remake version of yesteryear Malayalam movie 'Udhayananu Tharam' starring Mohan Lal, Meena and Srinivasan in the lead roles.
The film has tinsel town as its backdrop and centers on two friends Saravanan (Prithviraj) and Kannayan (Prakash Raj) whose dreams are to make it big in film industry. Although it's the same destination they are looking for, their attitudes differ a lot. As an assistant director, Saravanan suffers a lot to turn into a filmmaker while Kannayan wants to become an actor. At a point of time, Saravanan has an opportunity to wield the megaphone for a flick. But sooner he is thrown into the pit of shock when he gets to know Kannayan has already plagiarized his script and got hold an opportunity to become an actor.
Kannayan is now a rocking star Dilip Kumar on Tamil film industry. He extends his domination even with the camera angles and ill-treats even his close friends on the shooting spots. Meanwhile, circumstances urge Saravanan to marry well-established actress mythily to pick her out of troubles rendered by her brother (Sampath). Struggling to make it in the film industry, Saravanan requests his friend Mustafa to get him a job of chauffeur for call taxi where he works. Getting to know about his troubled situation Mythily has no options to leave her spouse thinking she was the cause.
More depressed with deep agony, famous producer (Sarath Kumar) extends his aid by providing him an opportunity to direct a movie. But it has to be done with rocking star Dhilip Kumar as the hero and Saravanan accepts to take up the defying task. Very often, Dhilip Kumar interferes in changing the script and walks out without completing the shoot. Now the entire team including producer go for big plans in sorting out this problem and Dhilip Kumar is unaware about this…
Being an exact replica, you may not love watching this if you had earlier viewed the original version in Malayalam. Director Viji stands different only with his dialogues suiting to present situation in Kodambakkam. The most highlighting dialogue is where Prakash Raj utters to his friend about 'Mustafa turning into Hanuman is possible only in tinsel town'.
Except Gopika, none of the characterizations have been improvised and of course, that goes the same with screenplay too. The satirical portions in the film have been crafted well; especially the scene encountered between Prithviraj and Prakash Raj about the age factors of the heroes. Prithviraj does a decent job and his gestures together with facial expressions reminds of a real life assistant director attempting for luck.
Prakash Raj comes up with an usual show, but his stylish looks in the second half aren't pleasing for the eyes. Couple of scenes makes sing appraisals for him: where he steals the script and makes it unknown to Prithviraj and the final sequences are breathtaking presentation.
With a naturalistic performance, Gopika does a convincing role and seems like she is more glued to the characterization. The auteur has focused on the personal problems of a heroine with a different approach.
Right from Prithviraj, Prakash Raj till the light man and other crew in the frame, everyone have been enchanting with her realistic act. M.S. Bhaskar playing the manager role and Charlie of a production manager would be the best illustrations for this.
As of technical aspects, there is nothing you can expect than a normal show. G.V.Praskash disappoints with all his tunes and even has failed to concentrate on the background scoring. Melodious song 'Kanavugal' canned at the beautiful location is a visual treat and feet tapping.
On the whole, the film has lots of absurdities with each and every element being the exact as the original version. Director Viji lacks lots of innovations in crafting the script more powerfully. Our good advice to Director Viji is that can better stay on the shoes of a dialogue writer and not director. So you can watch this flick, if at all you're yearning to kill your time.

Vitamin D has the ability to fight Cancer
Yes, according to a growing body of evidence. High levels of vitamin D have
been found to protect against several kinds of cancer, particularly those
of the digestive system: mouth, throat, stomach, and colon. While many of
us think we get plenty of vitamin D from milk or a multivitamin, it turns
out that the best source is the sun. Its rays trigger your body to produce
the nutrient, and a 10-20 minute stroll each day yields an abundant dose.
The resulting cancer protection is impressive. Study participants with high
vitamin D levels had 43 percent fewer digestive-tract cancers, 29 percent
fewer cancer deaths, and 17 percent fewer cancers overall. Although vitamin
D is readily found in salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna, and sardines, as
well as fortified milk and supplements, sun exposure won hands-down as the
best source, because just a little light produces so much D.
How much of the sunshine vitamin do you need? About 1,500 IU each day to
reap the protective rewards seen in the study, which is about how much a
daily 10-20 minute walk produces. By contrast, a glass of milk has only 100
IU of D, and 3.5 ounces of salmon has 360 IU. Even the recommended daily
dose is comparatively low: just 400-600 IU. But many public health experts
are calling for the recommendation to be raised to 1,000-2,000 IU, the
current upper limit considered safe for adults.
To get your daily dose of sun while minimizing skin risks -- you don't want
to trade one cancer for another -- walk in the morning or afternoon, when
the rays are less intense. And try applying a sunscreen just before you
leave the house. Because it takes about 15-30 minutes for chemical
sunscreens to kick in, by the time it starts working, you'll have gotten
your daily D.
RealAge Benefit: Getting 400 IU of vitamin D and 1,200 milligrams of
calcium per day can make your RealAge as much as 1.3 years younger.

Can Simbhu's words believed : Dhanush
Danush is to remake yesteryear's box office hit Agni Nakshathram. The production initiatives are through and he is doing one of the roles. As the original had Prabhu vs Karthik, Danush wants a person to opposite him.
For a surprise, there was a voluntary announcement from Simbhu accepting to do the role of either Karthik or Prabhu.
Danush doubts that, without any negative intention, Simbhu will not offer himself to do the role in a movie he is making, that too voluntarily. Literally for every action of Simbhu, Danush seems to be scarred.
Pattabi on a roll for replacing Vadivelu and Vivek
Everyone in Kollywood dream about becoming either hero or heroine. Most of the directors of these days are acting as hero, while dance masters have already tried their luck. Even stunt masters are testing the waters, e.g.. Kananl Kannan - he is doing two movies now!!!
Comedians, who were once considered as pickles and sauce for the movie are in lead roles now.
As busy comedians like Vadivelu and Vivek are concentrating more on lead roles, new comers and people who were not able to shine because of these V&V are enjoying the gap.
Pattabi, who was busy in small screen is now very busy in silver screen. The guy Sandhanam who kills all of us in the name of comedy is also very busy.
Thotta Review
The film centers on Shanmugam (Jeevan), who suffers a lot in his early days, as his mother dies getting abandoned by her husband. With no one to support his basic needs, a police officers comes to aid adopting him and sooner Shanmugham aka Thotta turns into a gangster and cunning blackmailer.
A serious task binds him together with Nalina (Priyamani) when Thota is urged to acid on her. But Nalina happens to be a good-doer in Shanmugham's life as she had helped him with money to conduct his mother's funeral rites. In contrary, Thotta gets more attached with Nalina who has a great ambition of becoming a police officer. On the attempts of fulfilling Nalina's dreams, he takes up the task of gunning down an union minister in return for a job for Nalina.
But it's a complicated situation for Shanmugham, when the police commissioner who raised him demands to have intercourse with Nalina.
Well, what happens next narrated in predictable manner forms crux of the story…
An innocent man turning into a gangster never seems to be fade in Tamil cinema and along the same queue comes Thotta, a movie you will hate all the time. Well, expectations were more as duo Director Selvah-Jeevan had rocked with yesteryear super hit movie Naan Avanillai. But the same duo have failed to make up for the expectations among the audiences.
A same old tale of an abandoned youngster turning into a gangster and a girl changing his entire course of life is all Thotta about. Poorly drafted screenplay, vague characters and an annoying direction would be main the limelight of the movie. Each and every serious, emotional and action sequences from director's perspective turns out to be an annoying comedy.
Seems like Director Selvah never came to the shooting spots demanding for any perfection from the actors and if you would like to confirm this, kindly watch this movie at your own risk.
Like in his previous films like Kaakha Kaakha and Naan Avanillai, Jeevan does a good job in getting spotted with an action-packed role, but it's a great disappointment his performance in romance part. He is not seen passionate while romancing with his ladylove.
The most annoying part of the movie is the role of baddies played by Mayilsamy, Livingston and Santhanabharathy. Especially, Mayilsaamy irritates a lot with his comedy tracks that doesn't make you laugh.
Priyamani does justice to her performance, but her role isn't convincing and it raises a big question, why she accepts such kind of roles?
Nothing to appreciate about technicians and Srikanth Deva isn't able to analyze the tastes of audiences: His musical score doesn't enhance the feel. The same goes with cinematography and editing.
As a whole, Thotta is a movie that you can watch, if you don't any worthy thing to do.
