You turned a year older on May 7. How did you bring in your birthday?

I brought in my birthday very simply, just with a few friends. I didn’t want to hype it up too much in my head this time around, so I wanted to keep it very simple and peaceful. And I was also shooting till the last second, so I didn’t really have the time to travel outside. So I wanted to keep it a little private, which I did. So I’m kind of glad that I had a peaceful time.

Are you happy with the headway you’ve made in your career?

As an actor, I am, I’m a very ambitious person,...

The Dhanush directorial Nilavuku Enmel Ennadi Kobam, aka Neek, was released with a lot of expectations at the box office on February 21, 2025. The film marks the actor-director’s third directorial venture after Pa Paandi and Raayan. However, the movie is struggling to mint numbers at the box office.

On its 10th day, the day-wise collection of the Dhanush directorial was around 32 lakhs. This was a slight growth of around 3% since the movie had amassed 31 lakhs on its previous day. The total India net collection of the movie now comes to 7.12 crore.

Neek is turning out to be a disaster at the box office. Despite 10 days of its release, it still remains below 10 crores, which is not a good sign. Not only this, but by the looks of it, it might wrap up without even recovering half of its budget.

Though the film was average, the songs were a chartbuster hit and introduced us to the sensational singer and composer Anirudh.

The quirky lyrics and Dhanush’s baritone voice became an instant hit amongst the audience, so much so that it is still hummed by many. As it was a mix of Tamil and mostly English, though it didn’t make sense, everyone was grooving to the song back in the day.

Kanguva, starring Suriya in the lead role, has turned out to be a debacle at the worldwide box office. It has been in talks for several reasons, and the makers have shared being confident in the product. However, the ticket-buying audience has completely rejected it. As a result, the film has become a big loss venture for those associated with it. Now, the only feat it is gearing up to unleash is entering the 100-crore club.

Made on a budget of over 300 crores, the Kollywood magnum opus was expected to earn at least 400-500 crores globally. However, on the ground level, it failed to create an atmosphere required for an event film. The entire team put in the effort in promotions, but that organic buzz was clearly missing. As a result, the film got a thumbs down on the opening day itself.

Suriya starrer Kanguva is witnessing a crashing trajectory at the box office and although the numbers earned are okay but the reported production budget of the film was exorbitant, which led to high expectations and pressure to deliver a blockbuster at the box office.

The movie’s crew includes Gv Prakash Kumar as the composer, Kiran Koushik as the cinematographer, and Prasanna Gk as the editor. The film is produced by Aakash Baskaran under Dawn Pictures, along with Dhanush’s own banner, Wunderbar Films.

Earlier this year, Dhanush faced a temporary ban by the Tamil Film Producers Council for taking advances from producers without completing the agreed projects.

Kollywood superstar Dhanush’s 50th movie as an actor and second directorial venture, Raayan, is a hardcore action masala movie involving family ties, revenge, and gang war shenanigans—the entire shtick with which the ace performer built the first phase of his career. While the plot itself isn’t as intriguing as the premise tries to sell it as, Dhanush’s intense performance as the stoic family man/one-man army covers up all the major drawbacks with ease.

Fight choreography, set design, cinematography, and A. R. Rehman’s soundtrack turned out top-notch, which in turn enhances the entertainment factor quite a bit, acting as a major support to elevate the saga of violence. However, with all that being said, fans who have adored Dhanush’s recent mainstream works, which tend to have a much more palpable emotional and socio-political undertone, might find Raayan a bit generic as it simply aims to be a crowd-pleaser.

“Raayan“: Tamil superstar Dhanush’s latest action thriller, “Raayan,” has made a remarkable start at the box office. Released on July 26, the film earned an estimated ₹12.5 crore on its opening day, reflecting strong audience interest and anticipation.

Dhanush’s Raayan has almost ended its opening day, with just some final shows still running. Riding on a good pre-release buzz, the film registered solid occupancy in the morning and afternoon shows, but after that, the real content started doing its work. As the audience has been appreciating the content, the positivity got translated to the box office performance on day 1. Keep reading to know more!

The action thriller marks Dhanush’s second directorial venture after 2017’s Pa Paandi. Released in three different languages, the film opened to mostly positive reviews from critics. Yes, some are criticizing the post-interval portion, but overall, the talks are favorable. Even the ticket-buying audience has given a thumbs-up so far.

With strong pre-sales in the kitty, Raayan opened to strong occupancies, especially in the Tamil market. Even in the Telugu states, the film has registered a good start.

Actor Dhanush recently stirred controversy with his speech at the audio launch of his upcoming film “Raayan.” He referred to himself as an “outsider” and recounted how he worked hard to buy a house in the prestigious Poes Garden, known for housing Rajinikanth and the late Jayalalithaa. Dhanush described his journey from a 16-year-old dreaming of living in such a posh locality to finally purchasing a house there as a gift to his younger self.

However, his comments sparked debate online, with many reminding him of his film industry background. Critics pointed out that his father, director Kasthuri Raja, financed his first film and that Dhanush was married to Rajinikanth’s daughter early in his career. Some accused him of downplaying his privileged background, calling his narrative misleading and likening it to similar stories from his ex-father-in-law, Rajinikanth.

National award-winning director Sekhar Kammula is currently engrossed in his pan-Indian movie Kubera, featuring Dhanush in the lead role. The film also stars Nagarjuna Akkineni in a crucial role, with Rashmika Mandanna, often referred to as the national crush, playing the female lead.

The makers recently unveiled Rashmika’s first look poster and a no-dialogue teaser, where she is seen in a striking and unusual avatar that has generated significant buzz among audiences. Her character is pivotal, serving as a bridge between the roles of veteran actors Dhanush and Nagarjuna.

The latest poster shows Rashmika’s character dressed in a pink suit and dragging a suitcase behind her, in what seems to be a deserted location.

In June 2023, Aanand L. Rai and Dhanush announced their third collaboration, Tere Ishk Mein, following the success of Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re. However, nearly a year has passed since the announcement with little to no development on the project, sparking numerous rumors about its status. According to Peepingmoon, the film is still on but has faced production delays.

Sources indicate that Dhanush’s commitments to his Tamil films have caused the postponement of Tere Ishk Mein. “Dhanush has several prior commitments down south that he wants to complete before dedicating two months to Aanand L. Rai’s film. The director acknowledged his concern and has agreed to wait for him. They’re now aiming to start the film around October–November 2024,” a source revealed. The film will be shot in a two-month, continuous schedule in Varanasi and other locations in Uttar Pradesh, with a theatrical release targeted for mid-2025.
