Alia Bhatt to share screen space with Dhanush?

Student of the Year Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt is planning to mark her Tamil debut in cinematographer-turned-director K.V. Anand's Anegan. But if the latest buzz is to be believed, Aadukalam helmer Vetrimaaran has signed up Alia for his upcoming film which also stars Dhanush in the lead.

It is being said that Bollywood director Imtiaz Ali’s latest heroine Alia Bhatt is quite pleased over the latest development. Following the huge success of Polladhavan and Aadukalam filmmaker Dhanush is reuniting with the director for the third time in the untitled project, to be produced by Cloud Nine Movies. Earlier reports revealed that Udhayam NH4 actress Ashrita Shetty would share screen space with Dhanush in the film but now it seems Alia has snatched the opportunity from the newcomer.

Raanjhanaa Review: Regressive Story with a romantic hero of a rare breed

Cast: Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Swara Bhaskar, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub

Director: Anand L Rai

Rating: Three and a half stars

Raanjhanna is a Romantic love story that does not fall within the confines of a dull Bollywood Romance.

A good show from everyone in the film and Dhanush projects excellence whenever he appears on the screen. Dhanush has got all the eyes of the watcher as a romantic hero in his Hindi debut and not with the look of a Bollywood Hero. Sonam Kapoor seems to have bettered her acting skills and she looks quite convincing before and after interval.

The dialogues have been sketched down soundly. Dialogues are convincing making the characters of the movie impressionable.  

A.R. Rahman's soundtrack is music to the ears and the film is rightly filled with song and dance sequences. The ones that are truly likeable are 'Piya Milenge', 'Tum Tak', the title track and 'Tu Mun Shudi,' which, by the way, is quite similar to 'Dhakka Laga Bukka' from Mani Ratnam's 'Yuva'.

Be it for its technical pros or for Dhanush's Bollywood debut, 'Raanjhanaa' makes for a good watch this weekend.

Dhanush to make his directorial debut next year!

He comes from a family of directors and the actor-singer wants to wield the megaphone soon

Tamil actor Dhanush, who is awaiting the release of his debut Hindi film Raanjhanaa, said on Tuesday that he is keen to direct soon. In all probability, he is likely to wield the megaphone by the end of 2014.

“I have been thinking of directing for quite some time now. In fact, I would have started my directorial project had Raanjhanaa not come my way. Currently, I have signed two more projects and therefore, I may likely direct a film by the end of next year,” Dhanush told reporters.

The direction bug bit him because he comes from a family of directors.

“My father (Kasthuri Raja) and brother (Selvaraghavan) are renowned directors in the industry. I can say I have been influenced by them, but I want to take things slowly,” he added.

While Dhanush made his cinematic debut through his father Kasthuri Raja’s Tamil romantic-drama Thulluvadho Ilammai, he has worked with his brother Selvaraghavan in Tamil films such as Kadhal Kondein, Yaaradi Nee Mohini and Mayakkam Enna.

In Raanjhanaa, which is directed by Aanand L Rai, Dhanush stars opposite Sonam Kapoor. Produced by Eros International, the movie releases this Friday.
