Kamal Haasan, The Nostradamus; prefigured ‘Ebola’ 6 yrs back in Dasavatharam!

When the world has been actively talking about the deadliest Ebola virus, here in Tamil cinema the film buffs are fervently talking about how Kamal Haasan, the Nostradamus as he always has been, prefigured the virus six years back in his film Dasavatharam in a scene. Kamal talks about the virus in a scene where he tries to get back the parcel from Krishneveni Paati. There is a meme which is going viral on all social media platforms over the past few days with a message.

Kamal Haasan is long-known for his incisive prognostication in many of his films, though some of them could be attributed as ‘mere-coincidence’ and written off. But, his incredible predictions include the word ‘Tsunami’ mention in Anbe Sivam (2003) before the real disastrous Tsunami took away many lives in 2004 , the Noida serial killers Moninder and Sathish who came to limelight few months after the release of his film Vettaiyaadu Vilaiyaadu – but here, credits to Gautham Menon, the writer of the film, the violent communal riots in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu a year after the release of Devar Magan, the swindling chit companies that came to spotlight two years after the release of Mahanadhi.

Kamal Haaasan, The Nostradamus is alive and kicking even in the 21st century. We wonder what he predicts in Uttama Villain and Vishwaroopam 2!
