Dhanush was recently in Coimbatore to promote his upcoming film Kara. He received a warm welcome there and, as a token of gesture, was given a gift reminding him of his film Polladhavan. Recalling his early days, the actor shared how he was mocked for his physique. He also shared a message on manifestation with fans.
Dhanush recalls getting mocked for his physique
At the event, when Dhanush was given a bike number plate as a sign from his film Polladhavan, the actor showed it to the audience at the venue and smiled. He admitted that the film was a turning point in his career and said, “Polladhavan was a turning point for me… Before that, people used to call me very thin. When I suddenly appeared with a six-pack, it was the first time that people clapped for my body. There were whistles. It was a special film for me.”
At the same event, Dhanush told his young fans to believe in themselves despite the challenges they might face. He said, “Ennam Pol Vazhkai—it is in the Bhagavad Gita—which means: ‘What you think, you become’. We shouldn`t have any doubts about success; we should truly manifest it ourselves. All could have laughed around 2002–2003 if I had told them I would get a National Award. But I strongly manifested that I would win a National Award one day. The time arrived.”
Dhanush has won National Awards for films like Aadukalam and Asuran. He additionally won two more—one for Best Children`s Film for Kaaka Muttai and one for Best Feature Film in Tamil for Visaranai.
About Dhanush’s upcoming film Kara
A gripping trailer of the film was dropped, which shows that Dhanush plays a robber who is desperate to make a certain sum of money. Actress Mamitha Baiju, who plays the female lead in the film, is also featured prominently.
The trailer also shows that Dhanush, who had gone away from his family, has now returned as a prodigal son. His family thinks he has come back as a reformed man. However, he has not. It may be recalled that the Censor Board has already cleared the film for release with a U/A certificate. The film is slated for a worldwide release on April 30 this year.
