South Indian actor Dhanush is the most talked about film in the run-up to the release of Russo brothers’ latest film Grey-Man. Ever since the cast announcement, the Indian film world has been curious about whether Dhanush has an important role in the film. In a video released as part of the film’s promotion, Dhanush’s fight scene with Grayman star Ryan Reynolds almost answered this question. Dhanush also interacted with the media during the press meet after the premiere show of the film. Also, Joe Russo had said in an interview to Hindustan Times that Dhanush was in their mind right from the time of scripting Grey-man, that they wrote the role with Dhanush in mind and that they will continue to work with Dhanushinod.
At this time when Dhanush is full of movie news, the news has come out that Dhanush was initially decided to play an important role in Kumbalangi Nights. Dhanush was supposed to play the much-talked-about role of Shammi in the film. Presently Fahad Fazil, who played Shammi, brought the news to the outside world. Fahadh Fazil stated that Malayalam cinema could not afford Dhanush financially during the shooting of Kumbalangi Nights and that is why Dhanush was not part of the film. Although the news was unexpected, fans have shared comments on social media that they are not too worried about Dhanush not being Shammi. While Dhanush could not, Fahadh Faasil has perfected Shammi on screen, many punk fans opined.
