Mumbai, Feb 15

Tamil star Dhanush, who was recently seen in 'Tere Ishk Mein', made a surprise appearance at the Oscar and Grammy-winning music composer A. R. Rahman's Chennai leg of his Wonderment Tour.

Marking an electrifying presence on stage, the actor also performed with A. R. Rahman to the thumping beats. A. R. Rahman also took to his Instagram, and shared a picture from the show, as he notified his followers of his sabbatical from social media for over a month.

He wrote, "Home sweet home ..my loving clan ..touched EPI .. Ps ..before I take a sabbatical for the next 40days from social media ..this is a nice way to sign off".

Meanwhile, Dhanush, who predominantly works in Tamil cinema, was recently seen in the Hindi film 'Tere Ishk Mein' in the role of an airforce pilot. He made his acting debut with 'Thulluvadho Ilamai', directed by his father Kasthuri Raja. He gained wide recognition with 'Kaadhal Kondein' and 'Pudhupettai', both directed by Selvaraghavan. He has won two National Film Awards for Best Actor for 'Aadukalam' and 'Asuran'.

His performances are often noted for naturalism and physical transformation. In 2011, he achieved international visibility with the song 'Why This Kolaveri Di', for which he wrote the lyrics and performed as a singer; the track became one of India's earliest viral music hits. He made his Bollywood debut with 'Raanjhanaa' and his Hollywood debut in 'The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir'.

As a producer, he runs Wunderbar Films, backing several Tamil projects. Dhanush directed his first film, 'Pa Paandi', and later directed 'Raayan'. His career spans acting, music, and production across multiple languages, with consistent box-office presence and critical recognition.

Dhanush is a true all-rounder. From 'Kolaveri Di' to National Awards, and now sharing the stage with the Mozart of Madras. His journey is an inspiration for every small-town talent in India.

While this is exciting news, I do wish the article focused a bit more on Rahman's Wonderment Tour itself and the music, rather than just the celebrity cameo. The maestro's sabbatical is the bigger story for his fans.

As someone who discovered Indian cinema through 'Raanjhanaa', it's fantastic to see Dhanush getting this recognition. His performance in that film was heartbreakingly good. Hope he does more Hindi projects soon!

Two legends! This is the kind of cultural event that makes me proud. No unnecessary drama, just pure talent celebrating art. More power to both of them. 🙏

His versatility is unmatched. From intense roles in 'Asuran' to directing a feel-good film like 'Pa Paandi'. And now performing with Rahman! What can't this man do? A real gem of Indian cinema.
