One of the 10 characters in Dasavatharam lives in the 12th Century Cholamandalam ruled by the king Kulothunga Cholan. Rangaraja Nambi, the character Kamal plays is a great devotee of Lord â€œGovindaraja Perumalâ€. The shoots of this character was held at Chidambaram.

The sets depicting the 12th century Cholamandalam was erected and thousands of people were dressed like belonging to that era.Horses and Elephants too were in the shoots and were taken best of care. Remember the animal activists are keeping their eyes wide open. The scene shot was that of Kulothunga Cholan throwing the deity of Perumal into sea and Rangaraja Nambi embracing the idol before the idol being thrown into the sea. The real life atheist Kamal acts as a God believer in this character.

The other character Kamal plays is that of a modern Scientist working in the US. Shoots of this character took place in the research centers in US, where getting permissions for movie shooting is not that easy. An artificial research center involving computers and other
gadgets was built inside the real research center.The scene is that of the research center getting destroyed in an accident.Art director Prabhakaran won accolades from the crew for his work on the artificial research center that gets destroyed in the shoots.

People gathered to see the shooting were disappointed that Kamal did not turn up for the shoots, but actually Kamal finished his work and walked away in front of them. Such was the make up, that Mosherum the make up man from America was full of pride in his face. Not to leave behind the hair stylist Anil.
