Dhanush has gained quite a lot of international recognition thanks to the rage that was Kolaveri Di, but the star is as surprised as everybody else at his new found fame. “Life’s turned upside down. I never expected that some day I would be known more as a singer than an actor,” he laughs, adding, “I am trying to change that somehow!”
For Dhanush, it’s never been about expecting anything from life.
He says, “It’s only recently that I realised the world is such a small place and it is we who have to make every attempt to succeed.”
On working with Aishwarya, wife and director of his film 3, he says, “Our relationship has not changed just because we share professional space. I am glad that I could teach her something about this industry. We still go for movies, discuss films and indulge in activities that couples normally do.”
He has also managed to weather rumours of his link-ups with Shruti Hassan. “My life is very boring. So, such rumours provide me with entertainment. That’s how I look at it. I never let them affect me! I know who I am and so do people who are close to me.”
After 3, Dhanush is getting ready to work in a Tamil movie and his Bollywood debut, Raanjhnaa, directed by Aanand L. Rai. He says, “We are yet to finalise the heroine for the film. I loved Aanand’s Hindi movie Tanu Weds Manu and I know that his scripts are out of the box, so I readily agreed to work with him.”
