The story of Dasavatharam is about the difference of opinions between Vaishnavites and Saivites. The story is dating back 14th century there had been a war among Hindus over worshipping of Hindu Gods - either Lord Shiva or Lord Vishnu. Then the king orders Kamal Hassan to worship Lord Shiva. But Kamal does not obey the orders of the king. Hence, Kamal is tied with the statue of Lord Vishnu thrown in the midst of the sea. Then Kamal again takes another birth. Totally he takes ten births consequtively and what he does in all these births is the essence of the film was filmed with a story based on the religion.

A real statue of Lord Ranganatha was made for the purpose of the shooting, it is said. Kamal in this film appears in 80-year-old mother get up. Similarly, he appears as Sardarji and in an American role.

A song, in this film says that he happened to be the son of Rajalakshmi and Srinivasan who always worships Lord Vishnu. You know that our Kamal Hassan's parents names are Rajalakshmi and Srinivasan?

This is Dasavatharam.
