pointed
out that the allegations mentioned in the
petition were based on pure imagination
as no such scenes that would hurt the sentiments
of theists, particularly Vaishnavites, were
part of Dasavatharam.
On the title Dasavatharam, Ravichandran
asserted that it couldn’t be opposed,
as there were no rules against using the
title. He also brought to the court’s
notice that when a film with the same title
was released some years ago it was not objected
to. Furthermore, the lead actor Kamal Haasan’s
belief or disbelief in God and religion
is irrelevant to the present case said Ravichandran.
He also pleaded that the petitioner must
be punished under the Goondas Act for raking
up religious issues under the guise of public
interest.
