Kollywood Director Selvaraghavan and Dhanush’s combination has delivered many hits. The duo will be collaborating after 11 years for their film Naane Varuven. In an interview, Selvaraghavan opened up about the struggles that went through while directing his brother Dhanush.
Earlier Dhanush made a statement about Selvaraghavan that, “My brother is my godfather. He has made me, he taught me acting and it is because of him, I'm sitting here."
To which he replied in this interview, "Everything should have a starting point. He is being generous by saying 'I'm his godfather'. During one or two films of him maybe, I had a lot of things to tell him then he was all on his own. I was just a part in the start but then it is all his hard work."
He further added, "What a fantastic thing about Dhanush is, he is an actor and I'm the director on the sets. So there are no creative differences between us. He just simply follows me. Now my responsibilities are more because he is a two-time National award winner, he has now gone to Hollywood and to handle such an actor, I have to keep forgetting he is my brother. I have to keep myself reminding, that he has achieved a lot. You suddenly feel responsibility, to do justice to his talent."
Meanwhile, speaking of Dhanush’s Hollywood debut, the first look of National Award-winning actor Dhanush from his Hollywood debut "The Gray Man" is out now. Directed by Anthony and Joe Russo the film also features Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas among others.
