Dhanush shares his fondness for ‘Polladhavan’

Speaking at the event, Dhanush opened up about a key moment in his career and shared an emotional memory. “’Polladhavan’ was a turning point for me… before that, people used to call me very thin,” he said, as reported by The Indian Express. He added, “When I suddenly appeared with a six-pack, it was the first time I got claps for my body… I will never forget that moment.” He described the film as very special and said it changed the way people looked at him.

He explained that he is currently working on a film with Rajkumar Periyasamy, followed by a project with Mari Selvaraj. “In between, there’s Pachamuthu Thamizharasan’s film… and then I have to complete ‘Vadachennai 2,’” he said. He made it clear that it will take a few years to finish all these films and added, “Only after that can I think about direction.”

Talking about ‘Kara,’ Dhanush praised director Vignesh Raja and the team for their honest effort. “We didn’t plan this knowingly… but we have made an important film,” he said. He added, “If this film connects and collects, it will give confidence that we can deliver a big hit without gimmicks or trends.” His words showed strong belief in the film’s content. With such confidence and the overwhelming fan response in Coimbatore, expectations for ‘Kara’ have gone even higher.
