Click to play videoNew 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.
Meanwhile, Haasan spoke to CNN-IBN about the experience of portraying 10 different characters on the big screen for the first time in the history of cinema.
"I leave it to your point of view because they are all my children, I won't pick favourites as it'll make me a bad mother," he quipped.
“The screen writer in south, for me, is close to my heart, not that I don't like the other 10, but the other 10 wouldn't have been possible so believably without the 11th man," he added.
