'Westmore was the 11th avatar of the film, without him the other 10 would not have been possible,' he added. Haasan also mentioned the enormous contribution of Academy Award-winning make-up artist Michael Westmore, who helped him design the film's ten distinct characters.Д¬alling him a 'master of his craft', Haasan said Westmore's contribution to the film was 'equivalent' to his. If you believe in something, it can always be achieved.' On the other hand, I would never forget or forgive those technicians who gave up. 'All of my technicians helped me complete the project through all the insults, quarrels, stressful environment and I am grateful to the.

The actor acknowledged the efforts of his technicians, stunt directors for giving their best to achieve his cinematic vision, but said he would not 'forgive or forget' those who had abandoned the project. Haasan believes in some sequences of the film, the CGI wasn't up to the mark but it was the best the team could do with all the constraints back then. We had various stunt directors supporting us which can be seen in various styles portrayed through the film as Fletcher's (one of his characters) stunts had to be different from the Samurai and that from the first and all this within a shoe string budget,' he said. 'We wanted to make a masterpiece and we didn't look at money or fame, just our contribution to the art of cinema. The action sequences were one of the biggest highlights of 'Dasavatharam', with each character of Haasan getting a distinct action style. 'However, Mr Ravikumar had fully understood the script and fought tooth and nail to get the climax done as scripted originally and we spent the additional Rs one crore,' the actor said. I offered to rewrite the script without the tsunami and end it with the train sequence.' Now people nonchalantly talk about Rs 20 to 30 crores, but back then it was huge. 'Towards the end of the filming, during the tsunami sequence, we realised we needed a crore more to achieve the visuals written by me for the climax. The actor said he was also thankful to 'Dasavatharam' producer V Ravichandran for not comprising on the film's scale, ambition and grandeur. Haasan recalled reaching out to producer Mukta Srinivasan for his opinion on his script and incorporated his suggestions.

The actor said 'many directors' turned down the film's script saying they didn't 'understand it,' except for Ravikumar, who was convinced the movie would be a winner. I can say I learnt democracy during the making of this film,' he said in a statement. There were many masters to teach and learn from and cinema was the ultimate master and very forgiving when we failed in some parts, definitely more forgiving than the audience who made it a hit. ''Dasavatharam' was a masterclass for me on every technical aspect. Haasan, 66, who also wrote the screenplay, said 'Dasavatharam' was a film that taught him the true meaning of 'democracy'. 'Dasavatharam', which was under production for nearly three years, became a massive hit upon its release in 2008.
