The film, which took three years to get completed was pegged at over Rs. 100 crore and was shot in eight foreign locations including America, England, Japan, Malaysia etc. In India, the film was shot in Tamil Nadu, Mumbai and Hyderabad. The advertisement budget alone took up a stupendous of Rs 6 crores.
Kamal Haasan recently at DASHAVATAR's special show told us, ''If I start about telling from where we actually began DASHAVATAR it will take 2 years to tell you the story that is because every day, every word mattered. We started with just 25 days for the first schedule of the film, which had no shooting, no acting. It was just for the make-up tests 25 days in the US. 20 days, 12 hours a day, and then 5 days of taking photographs. When we came back with the photographs, people believed more in DASHAVATAR including the producer, the director and myself. Till date nobody outside the unit has seen any of these photographs. To cut it short If you want to get a glimpse of all the hard work we did, you will have to come and see it on the big screen.''
