Tamil cinema’s beloved star Dhanush recently visited the world-famous Sri Venkateswara Swamy Temple in Tirupati, accompanied by his sons Linga and Yatra. The actor offered prayers at the holy shrine, drawing massive attention from devotees and fans who gathered to catch a glimpse of the star. A video clip of Dhanush and his sons being surrounded by enthusiastic fans eager to take selfies has since gone viral on social media, further proving the actor’s immense popularity.
On the professional front, Dhanush is gearing up for one of his most ambitious projects yet — the period thriller ‘Kara’, directed by Vignesh Raja, the filmmaker behind the critically acclaimed crime thriller ‘Por Thozhil’. Produced on a grand scale by Vels Film International Limited, the film is backed by Dr. Ishari K. Ganesh, with Kushmitha Ganesh serving as co-producer.
Set in the 1990s, Kara narrates the intense and emotional journey of a young man named Karasaami. The film is described as an emotionally rooted thriller layered with mystery, suspense, and powerful drama. Early glimpses from the movie have already sparked excitement among fans. Recently, the makers unveiled a striking poster featuring Dhanush in a fierce and intense avatar, accompanied by the tagline: “Sometimes, staying dangerous is the only way to stay alive.”
Earlier, the production team had released a still from the sets when the project was tentatively titled #D54. The image showed Dhanush speaking from an STD booth, instantly going viral and generating curiosity about the film’s storyline.
