Even though Indian actor Dhanush rules the Tamil cinema with his class performances, the Hindi film-watching audience came to know about his talent and caliber when he made us groove to his song ‘Why This Kolaveri Di’. Then we saw the actor taking over the screen with his Bollywood debut ‘Raanjhanaa’ alongside Sonam Kapoor.

Well, the ‘Shamitabh’ actor has achieved another milestone after he bagged a role in the Hollywood film ‘The Gray Man’ which also stars Chris Evans, Ryan Gosling, and Regé-Jean Page among others.
Even though Dhanush has a very small role in the film that’s directed by ‘Avengers: Endgame’ directors Russo Brothers with barely any dialogue, he is glad that he got the opportunity to learn with such internationally acclaimed actors.

Recently, when the entire team sat down for a media interaction, his humble and funny response to a question tickled many funny bones. In the press conference, the video of which has gone viral, Dhanush is seen sitting next to his international co-stars.

This is when he was asked how he landed a role in this film. All eyes were on him, expecting a narrative behind it. But all Dhanush said was:
“I don’t know how I ended up in this film.”

He went on to talk about the film and how it made him feel.
“I was thrilled and very excited. Of course, I don’t get to say much in the film. I was super thrilled and was looking for an opportunity to learn and explore.”

When we Tamil people casually say the truth, Americans will take that as humour. Many times I wondered why they are laughing.
Proud of you @dhanushkraja
