Dhanush tells his dad to relax
Director Kasturi Raja, the proud father of actor Dhanush and filmmaker Selvaraghavan, is back to wielding the megaphone after a long hiatus for a film, titled 'Kaasu Panam Dhuttu'. Apparently, the title is inspired by lines from a chartbuster from the super hit film, 'Soodhu Kavvum'.
The audio launch of KPD that took place recently looked more like a family affair with Selva, Dhanush, with wife Aishwarya, and Kasturi Raja’s wife, Vijayalakshmi, gracing the occasion.
Raja, the producer/director, said at the event, “Both my sons are at a high level today. They are asking me to retire and go on a fun trip to Switzerland or London with my wife and enjoy life. But I feel as if I am a newcomer today and I am in awe of all the new talents who are rocking the Tamil industry now. When I came to cinema several years back, I had a holy book and the major responsibility of raising my family. When I discharged all my duties as a dad, my book got misplaced. I am in search of it now.”
Dhanush, attired in his signature dhoti, said, “This is the first time I am attending a function to do with a film of my father’s. He need not be dismayed, the holy book was picked up by me and my anna, Selva, and we have grown up now. He can relax. He asked me to sing a song for KPD which I couldn’t do due to work pressure. I suggested that there were umpteen talented new singers whom he could introduce.”
