Director Aanand L Rai has signed Tamil actor Dhanush for his film.He says,For the past six months,Ive been looking for a simple boy to play the lead in Raanjhnaa.When I saw Dhanush in the Tamil film Aadukalam (for which he won the National Award),I liked him immediately.He looks very ordinary and honest,and that was the demand of the character.
Dhanush doesnt know Hindi;wont language be a problem Dhanush says,the problem is not language.Its culture.I will learn the culture and the language will come automatically.
Rai adds that hes not worried about it.The film is an intense love story.Just like my film Tanu Weds Manu,the film and its characters will take you to Delhi,Punjab,Chennai and other places.
When quizzed about why he chose Raanjhnaa as his first Hindi film,Dhanush says,The passion Aanand had for the script and his reasons why only I could do this film convinced me.I liked the fact that he wanted me in the film even before Kolaveri Di happened.Its a big deal to get a launch like this at the beginning of my career.Aanands script is different from regular cinema;its one of those made to make a difference kind of films.
Dhanush says hed never visited Banaras before signing this film.I didnt understand the language,the culture ... but I was fascinated by its beauty and divinity.Im planning to hire a Hindi tutor.I am sure by the time the shoot gets over,I will communicate fluently.
