Dasavathaaram Wins Court Battle, to Hit Theatres


New Delhi: Actor-director Kamal Haasan's much anticipated film, Dasavathaaram will be releasing on Friday as per schedule after the Supreme Court on Thursday declined to stay the screening of the film.

Earlier in May, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad had approached the Madras High Court demanding the removal of scenes that portrayed clashes between Shaivites and Vaishnavites set in the 16th century in the film.

According to them, these were controversial, and hurt the sentiments of Hindus.

However, following the accusations, the film's producer Venu Ravichandran announced that the film doesn't contain such scenes and went on to file an affidavit in the Supreme Court.
