Hyderabad: Even though Tamil star Dhanush has showcased his acting brilliance in varied films like ‘Asuran’, ‘Pudupetai,’ and ‘Raghuvaran B Tech’, the national award-winning actor will be seen in a refreshing avatar in his upcoming film ‘Kubera’, “Honestly, he hasn’t done such a role before and his fans would adore him in an altogether new avatar,” says a source who adds, “Dhanush is known to be a director’s actor. Yet again, he moulded himself and got into the skin of the character as envisaged by director Sekhar Kammula who is known for etching fascinating roles with a touch of realism that befits the stature of Dhanush,” he adds.
It is Dhanush’s first collaboration with Kammula, known for Telugu films like ‘Happy Days’ (2007) and ‘Love Story’ (2021). Earlier, the announcement video showed Dhanush, sporting a scruffy beard and a smile, standing before a wall. The religious mural before him depicts Lord Shiva receiving alms from Annapurna, a form of his divine spouse Parvati.
Kubera, in Hindu mythology, is the god of wealth. According to reports, the film is a social drama set in Mumbai’s Dharavi slums.
