Walking the red carpet
Walking the red carpet is always something quite memorable and Dhanush wanted to savor that moment during the premiere of The Gray Man. "In my head, I was like, 'This is the first time (this is happening), there's not going to be another first time.'
Dhanush's first love
Dhanush has donned several hats in the film industry — of that of an actor, director, producer, lyricist, and singer. But cinema isn't his first love. Dhanush reveals, "I actually wanted to be a chef. I thought cooking was one of the finest arts, the delight on people's faces when they like something!
When Balu Mahendra thought Dhanush looked like an Italian Model
He's very calm and patient with his actors. I took acting seriously for the first time. I used to be worried that my face looked bad. He told me that I had the best skin tone for a cameraman to light. He also told me that I looked like an Italian model.
Dhanush's Production House & The Inglorious Basterds Connection
I went and saw Inglourious Basterds (Quentin Tarantino's 2009 film) that morning, and they were saying 'Wunderbar' in the film. It's a German word that means wonderful. We named the production company 'Wunderbar,' just for fun. People suggested different names for it, but I couldn't part with 'Wunderbar' as I had gotten attached to it.
His love for Michael Madana Kama Rajan
When asked about his favourite comic performance of another actor, he talked about films of Nagesh, Goundamani, Rajinikanth, and Kamal Haasan. He also wondered how Kamal Haasan managed to crack Michael Madana Kama Rajan.
