Dhanush, the National award winning actor, who recently ventured to direction, is a name to reckon with not just in Tamil cinema but also Bollywood.
Dhanush speaks about his forthcoming release Thodari and much more.
He says, ‘Artistes should take efforts to know the language of the movie they act. It is a must. I did the same when I acted in Hindi movies (Ranjhanaa and Shamitabh)’.
On filmmaking, Dhanush, says, ‘Coming from a family of directors (Kasthuriraja and Selvaraghavan), I always wanted to helm movies. And I watched the likes of Balu Mahendra, Selvaraghavan, Vetrimaaran among others on the sets of my movies.
I learnt a lot about filmmaking. I penned the script of Power Paandi eight months ago. It is a hilarious entertainer. After Selvaraghavan read my script and gave me a go ahead, I started the shoot.’
On roping Sean Roldon as music composer for Power Paandi, he says, ‘His work in Joker was majestic and magnificent. Hence I roped him for my directorial film. I have confidence in his abilities’.
Dhanush’s Thodari releasing on 22nd September 2016.
