Jackie steals the show



The music release of Kamal Hassan starrer Dasavatharam was attended by Bollywood bigwigs including Amitabh Bachchan, South superstar Mamooty, Hema Malini, Jaya Prada, M Karunanidhi and Asin apart from Kamal Hassan, the film's producer Oscar Ravichandran and director K. S Ravikumar.

Though Kamal is hero of the film, it was Jackie Chan and Mallika Sherawat who stole the show. We hear that Kamal Hassan felt left out and was visibly upset with the hype created over Jackie's presence.

Our source from Chennai says, "Anyone who saw the interaction between Kamal Hassan and Jackie at the event, will agree that Kamal was quite happy during their first meeting, but the actor had a heated argument with producer Oscar backstage, for inviting Jackie."

What followed added fuel to the fire were the newspaper reports the next morning. While Jackie Chan and Mallika Sherawat grabbed all the column widths and TV channels flashed their pictures, Kamal Hassan was completely left out.

Adds our source, "Poor Oscar was caught in the middle of the controversy. He only intended to release the music of the film on a grand scale and tried to cash in on Jackie's presence. However Kamal Hassan, who is the main lead, was livid at being sidelined from the music release of his own film."
