The Extraordinary Journey Of An Artist, Dhanush

There is an incredible Hulk in the Tamil industry, and his name is Dhanush. From his debut film Thulluvatho Ilamai to his upcoming Hollywood project with Uma Thurman, the graph of his growth is flawless. Polladhavan, Puthupettai, Mayakkam Enna, Ranjhanaa… All of these films summarize why he is one of the best in this generation.

The way he portrayed Karuppu in Aadukalam! Gosh! DEAD. He can play any role in any genre. Many of the characters he has portrayed remain deeply connected to the real world. His acting is exemplary. He won his first National Award in the Best Actor category for his performance in Aadukalam and gained international attention with “Why this Kolaveri”. His penchant for growth and creative talent beautifully merge as he continues to mesmerize with his spirit and unique style. But what makes him even greater is his support for good movies and the growth of the industry.

Dhanush established his production company, Wunderbar Films, along with Aishwarya R. Dhanush and Anirudh Ravichander. To the surprise of many, he began producing movies for other actors, becoming a catalyst in their career growth. For example, films like Ethir Neechal and Kaaki Sattai starring Siva Karthikeyan and Naanum Rowdy Dhaan starring Vijay Sethupathi undeniably transformed the respective actors’ market presence.

Dhanush’s Cinematic Impact: Pioneering Production and Elevating Talent

Most of these films suit Dhanush very well, but instead of exclusively focusing on his own projects, he did something unusual for an actor—he created a new market, a new business, supported emerging talent, and promoted quality films. As a filmmaker, he stands high for this very reason. His production achievements include, without a doubt, Manikandan’s Kaaka Muttai and Vetrimaran’s Visaaranai. Dhanush has a keen sense of what is good and what will be widely accepted. He received his second National Award for ‘Kaaka Muttai’ in 2015. As of 2016, with ‘Visaranai’ already released, we anticipate his upcoming production ‘Amma Kanakku’ and ‘The Extraordinary Journey Of A Fakir Who Got Trapped In An Ikea Cupboard.’ The ever-growing glow around him is unmistakable.
