Hollywood actor Jackie Chan will launch the audio cassette of Kamal Hassan's much-awaited Tamil film "Dasavatharam," in which he will be seen in 10distinctive roles, at a function to be held here next month.

The film, directed by K S Ravikumar and produced by Oscar Ravichandran, will be released in April. "Chan was totally amazed. He wondered how one could do 10 distinctive roles without any difficulty," said Ravichandran, who met Chan at the actor's residence in Kowloon.

On his meeting with Chan, he said it was a life time opportunity. "I was thrilled to meet him. It was a great experience," he said.

Chan, whose action-packed films earned him a great fan following, made the announcement of his visit to India for the cassette release, Ravichandran said.

"It is a great honour to Kamal Hassan, to the entire Tamil film industry and the Indian film industry that Chan has agreed to come at the function," he said.

Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Chiranjeevi had already agreed to attend the "mega" event.

Besides, all stars of the South Indian film industry would be invited for the function once the date was finalised, he said.
