Dhanush to romance Bollywood babe in his first Hindi film

Before his Kolaveri Di became a runaway hit, director Aanand L Rai of the Tanu Weds Manu fame was eager to sign the Tamil star Dhanush for his next titled Raanjhnaa. So, when the Kolaveri Di sensation Dhanush finally signed the film, it was bound to create the buzz.

Now, as per the latest reports, the heroine of the film is not going to be a South Indian actress; but instead, a Bollywood babe would be signed for the movie which is not a romantic comedy like Aanand’s previous film Tanu Weds Manu. The director says the film is going to be an intense romantic drama and Dhanush fits the bill perfectly. However the hunt for the heroine is on.

Earlier, the grapevine was abuzz that the movie’s heroine is going to be a South Indian actress, but as per sources, after making the fresh couple of Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut a hit in Tanu Weds Manu, Aanand L Rai will get a known Bollywood face, who has already earned her stripes in acting, to be paired opposite Dhanush.

Raanjhnaa is set against the backdrop of the holy city Banaras. The film and its characters will take the audiences to Delhi, Punjab, Chennai, etc. Dhanush has already started brushing up his Hindi, and has found an interesting way to learn it. According to Dhanush, the problem is not the language, it’s the culture. The actor says he will learn the culture and the language will come automatically.
