Kolaveri Di fame Dhanush has signed his first Bollywood project, Raanjhnaa.
Dhanush, who is the iconic hero and Rajinikanth’s son-in-law, has won the National Film Award for his role in Aadukalam and recently has become famous by Kolaveri Di from his Tamil film 3, which went viral online.
After receiving all such laurels, Dhanush has now signed his first Hindi film. The 28-year-old will be seen in director ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ fame Aanand L Rai’s upcoming film ‘Raanjhnaa’. Aanand L Rai says he chose Dhanush for his simplicity.
“For the past six months, I’ve been looking for a simple boy to play the lead in Raanjhnaa. My requirement was a man who could look vulnerable on screen. When I saw Dhanush in the Tamil film Aadukalam, I liked him immediately. He looks very ordinary and honest, and that was the demand of the character,” Rai said in a press statement.
Talking about the film’s storyline, the director said, “The film is an intense love story. Just like my film Tanu Weds Manu, the film and its characters will take you to Delhi, Punjab and Chennai.”
Dhanush too is very excited about the project. The director had approached him for the movie before ‘Kolaveri Di’ happened. The Tamil star liked the fact that Aanand wanted him in the film even before Kolaveri Di happened.
“It’s a big deal to get a launch like this at the beginning of my career here. Aanand’s script is different from regular cinema; it’s one of those ‘made to make a difference’ kind of films,” Dhanush said in a statement.
Dhanush is not too well-versed with Hindi. But, it won’t be a barrier for his Bollywood career. According to Dhanush, the problem is not the language, it’s the culture. The actor says he will learn the culture and the language will come automatically.
