Dasavatharam to hit theatres on June 6

It’s official now — Dasavatharam will be released worldwide on June 6 with the highest number of prints ever for an Indian film. Speaking to media, the producer of the film Oscar Ravichandran said that the film is slated to be released initially in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi.

He explains, “It began like an ordinary movie but it assumed gargantuan proportions. I wasn’t weighed down by any pressure. However, the delay was getting on the nerves of the fans who have been waiting for long.”

Ravichandran is now busy working on the promos to be played out at the last leg of the IPL matches in Chepauk. Being an ardent devotee of the Lord at Tirupathi, he was tempted to release the film on Saturday June 7. But the movie had to be released on a Friday, considering the overseas market and the northern centres.” As he has on his prior film releases, Ravichandran will feed 1,000 poor children on the occasion.
