Dhanush’s Dream: From Ilaiyaraaja to Rajinikanth Biopics

Share


Kollywood star Dhanush is a true multi-talented force — an acclaimed actor, singer, and director with a solid footprint across Indian cinema. As a pan-India star, Dhanush enjoys a special place, especially in Bollywood, where very few Tamil actors have found the kind of admiration and following he commands today. He is currently the only Kollywood hero actively doing films in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi.

Dhanush also stands out as someone who comfortably collaborates on multi-starrers, something not every star is willing to do. Most recently, he bagged a rare opportunity — to portray music maestro Ilaiyaraaja in an upcoming biopic. While many actors were considered, the director felt only Dhanush could do justice to the legendary composer’s role. Dhanush grew up deeply influenced by Ilaiyaraaja’s music and has often referred to him as a guru figure in the industry. Playing his idol in a biopic isn’t just a role — it’s a dream come true for Dhanush.

Speaking about this major milestone, Dhanush revealed another personal dream — to one day act in the biopic of Superstar Rajinikanth. He expressed his desire to portray Rajini if ever given the opportunity, calling it a goal he would pursue wholeheartedly.

For Dhanush, Ilaiyaraaja’s biopic is the fulfillment of one dream. Rajinikanth’s biopic, he says, would be the next. Inspired by Rajini since childhood, Dhanush not only admired him from afar but eventually became a part of his life by marrying Rajinikanth’s daughter, Aishwarya. Though the couple later separated, his respect and admiration for Rajini remain strong.

From idolizing legends to portraying them on screen, Dhanush’s cinematic journey is one of passion, perseverance, and dreams turning into reality.
