Superstar Rajinikanth's joy knew no bounds, when he had a glimpse of
Dasavatharam scenes in the edit suit of director KS Ravikumar. It will
not be an exaggeration if we say that the top actor's reaction was
similar to that of a child, who happened to see a favourite icecream.

Ravikumar, who came to know that Rajini was available in town, invited
him to see the 'rush' of Dasavatharam. Without any hesitation, the
Superstar went to Ravikumar's edit suit at his house in Ashok Nagar
where some exclusive scenes from Dasavatharam was screened to him.

It is said Rajini stood and clapped his hands for minutes after
watching the ten different get ups of Dasavatharam. 'Excellent,
Wonderful, Hats off.' These were the three words he often used to
express his happiness. Immediately, he caught Kamal through telephone
and showered praises for his unmatched performance.
