While Kamalhassan’s ten different roles and an equal number of dictions in the much-awaited Dasavatharam has been hogging the media limelight all these days, it has now emerged that the female leads are also in for some meaty roles.

The surprise package is Bollywood’s diva, Mallika Sherawat, who dons a CIA agent in the movie, according to a press release.

Mallika, making her first direct entry into Kollywood, “dons an altogether different cap in the movie,” the release said.

Asin, who has been delivering quite a number of hits, will for the first time play a double role.

The other Bollywood connection to the film comes by way of singer Himesh Reshammiya, who also makes his debut in Tamil cinema. However, it is not clear whether he will render one of his own numbers in Tamil.
