Dhanush is a proud son after seeing his father in 'Habebe': He must have lived as Yusuf
Mumbai, June 19
Dhanush is a proud son after seeing his father, Kasthuri Raja, in the romantic entertainer 'Habebe'. In the social media post uploaded by the 'Atrangi Re' actor on Friday, he said that his father must have fully immersed himself and lived as his character, Yusuf.
Making things more challenging, Dhanush added that the film is set in a world that was previously unknown to his dad.
Expressing himself, Dhanush shared on his official X (Previously known as Twitter) handle, "Due to continuous shooting, I was only able to watch the movie *Habebe* today, albeit belatedly. I feel proud thinking of my father, who must have fully immersed himself and lived as the character "Yusuf" in an entirely new world he had never known before. (Sic)"
Congratulating the team of "Habeebi", he concluded the post saying, "Congratulations to director Meera Kathiravan and the entire film crew for delivering outstanding performances from my father as well as all the other actors, along with providing an exceptional cinematic experience."
Directed by Meera Kathiravan, the story for "Habeebi" has been provided by V. S. Mohamed Ameen. The core cast of the drama includes Esha M, Kasthuri Raja, and Malavika Manoj, along with others.
Shifting our focus to the technical crew, the tunes for the upcoming drama have been provided by Sam C. S., with Mahesh Muthuswami responsible for the camera work. Mathi VS is the head of the editing department.
Released in cinema halls on 12 June this year, the film chronicles the journey of a young couple whose relationship ends up creating divisions within their community.
For those who do not know, Kasthuri Raja is a filmmaker, lyricist, and actor who has worked with director Visu on more than 16 films.
Talking about Dhanush's work commitments, he will soon star in Rajkumar Periasamy's next "Om", where he will be seen sharing the screen with Malayalam superstar Mammootty.

Honestly, this kind of father-son bond is rare in our film industry. Many don't give credit to their parents publicly. Dhanush is a class apart - always humble, always respecting his roots. And the fact that Kasthuri Raja lived as Yusuf shows real acting dedication. Can't wait to see what's next from both of them! 🔥
It's lovely to see such genuine praise across generations in cinema. Dhanush sounds like a very grounded person despite his fame. The fact that he took time to watch the movie belatedly and still made a heartfelt post says a lot about his character. Want to watch Habebe now!
Great to see senior actors getting praise from their own children. But honestly, I hope Dhanush also takes feedback constructively when needed. Sometimes the praise becomes too one-sided in our industry. Still, good to see family support like this - reminds me of how Amitabh and Abhishek respect each other.
Dhanush always comes across as such a mature person. This post shows he values family more than stardom. And 'Habebe' sounds interesting - a young couple causing community divisions? That's a bold topic for Tamil cinema. Hope it does well! 💫
