As a fellow Bangalorean, I totally get Priyanshu's fanboy moment! Grew up watching Dhanush's films from "Kadhal Kondein" days. His journey is inspirational. More power to both!

Respect. No fake PR, just real admiration. Dhanush replying so humbly shows why he's loved across the country. A spiritual sequel to Raanjhanaa? My expectations are sky-high now.

While the mutual admiration is nice, I do hope the film's story is strong. The plot summary sounds interesting but a bit familiar. Anand L Rai and Dhanush combo is gold though, so hopeful!

Dhanush is a national treasure! From Tamil to Hindi to Hollywood, his range is unbelievable. Priyanshu mentioning "Kolaveri di" and "Rowdy baby" – feels like a throwback to all our college days! 😄

Kriti O

So lovely to read. In an industry with so much competition, this camaraderie is refreshing. Also, a PhD research plot? That's a unique twist for a Bollywood romance. Eagerly waiting!
