Music director
Early, on speculations were high that the lead actor Kamal Haasan wanted five separate music directors for the film, however the indications ceased when A. R. Rahman was signed on as the music director.
Soon after Rahman left the project, citing that the producers of another big-budget film, Sivaji, refused to let him take part in Dasavatharam, often seen as the rival to Sivaji. This rule also affected Shriya Saran, who had to opt out of her role in Dasavatharam. Rahman was replaced by Himesh Reshammiya, who with Dasavathram made his first foray into regional films. However the soundtrack to Bommalattam was released prior to the Dasavatharam soundtrack.
Background Score
Himesh Reshammiya due to his acting commitments was not chosen to fulfil the role as the background music director for the film. Despite indications that A. R. Rahman would succeed the role, Devi Sri Prasad was chosen, and also provided the music for the trailer.
Audio launch
The soundtrack to Dasavatharam was released on April 25, 2008 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Chennai, which became the largest audio launch for a film in the world.
