I haven't seen the movie 'Dasavadharam' as of now. Though I am fan of Rajinikanth I don't hate other actors! Just for argument sake when somebody talks about Kamal hassan I used to talk against them for fun :)
There were talks all over the place that Kamal hassan has created a world record by acting in 10 different roles in his latest movie 'Dasavadharam'. I really doubt it! How? Check out the following stats:
1. Rolf Leslie has done 27 different roles in a single movie named 'Sixty Years a Queen' in the year 1913

2. Lupino Lane has done 24 different roles in the movie 'Only Me' in the year 1929

3. Joseph Henabery has done 14 roles in the movie 'The birth of the nation' in the year 1915

4. Robert Hirsch has done 12 roles in the movie 'No Questions on Saturday' in the year 1964

Lets not forget most of the above films have come out when there were no major technology to assist them.
In no way I am trying to demean Kamal hassan's effort / creativity etc., What he has done can be a record for Tamil / Indian industry but not for the 'World' cinema.
For me, Rajinikanth is No 1 and Kamal Hassan is No. 2 :)

Nice research. :)
gud research.. but 10 was not to make it to a big count .. instead to depict the avtars of Vishnu(as few argue :) )...
definetly acting in 10 roles wouldnt make it a 'World' record..
I agree this is not a world record. This is more of hype they created to suffer from loss because of huge amount spent. Even I did not watch the movie but the review I read in rediff was not so good. It should be film for make up skills (where the credit goes for Hollywood make up artist) where we take credit. We are still no way near to Hollywood in terms of technology.
Even Akkineni Nageswara Rao played 9 differnet roles in the telugu movie called Navarathri in 1950s .
And that moviw was a great hit
Hima, Sivaji Ganeshan in Tamil industry has also done 9 roles in a film called Navarathiri. Yep it was also a good hit then.
