The
dark and lanky Dhanush
made his debut in Thulluvadho
ilamai. After the fairy-tale
success of the film,
he reached dizzying
heights
with Kadhal kondein,
Thiruda Thirudi and
Pudukkottaiyilirindhu
Saravanan. Considering
the popularity of the
unconventional hero,
it is reported that
he was paid Rs. 4 crores
for Pudukkottai. The
bubble burst and his
subsequent films like
Sullan and Devadaiyai
kandein bit the dust.
He also went out of
the producers’
radar. Now, he is pegging
his hopes on Balu
Mahendra’s
Adhu
Oru Kanaa Kaalam.
He received just Rs.
1.5 crores for this
film. The other film
which is under production
is Puduppettai. Dhanush
needs these two films
to do well in order
to reclaim his star
status.
