The screenplay has to be gripping. That's when the film will work. Then, I see how much I can relate to the character I'm playing. Dhanush characterfilmgrip Change image and share on social
Music is my breath, blood and food - without music I would perish; the actor in me would die. Dhanush actorbloodbreath Change image and share on social
I have no clue as to where my interest and love for music came from. In fact, I have never learnt any music either, though I wish that I could just close my eyes and play the piano - that is my most cherished desire. Dhanush cherishcloseclue share on social
My dream is to become a director. I want to direct a Hindi film. I have two scripts ready. One of them is a fantasy-adventure, while the other is a thriller. I've assisted my brother Selvaraghavan, who's a well-known director in Tamil cinema. I've also made short films. Dhanush adventureassistbrother share on social
I come from a very humble background. My father had to work really hard to become an assistant director. For a large part of his youth, he worked in a mill and took up odd jobs to make ends meet. We lived in a small room and could only afford a meal a day. Dhanush affordassistantbackground share on social

I suffer from stage fright, so I blabber on stage and stop midway through my performances. I cannot even write a cheque, as it makes me nervous. Being around people makes me nervous. But I'm very comfortable in front of the camera, and this I realised many films later. Dhanush blabbercameracheque share on social
