How do you steal a few weeks from Dhanush’s date diary and convince him to headline a Hindi project? Offer him a compelling script — that’s all the Tamil star asks for. Yet, in the next instant, the actor throws a curveball, saying that he hadn’t heard the script of his next, Atrangi Re, until the last moment. “When Aanand L Rai [director] and Himanshu [Sharma, writer] approached me, I directly asked them when they needed me. I told them I will come [for the shoot] and hear the script then. So, I made them narrate the script to me one week before the shoot. That is the kind of faith I have in them,” begins the actor, who made his Bollywood debut with them in Raanjhanaa (2013).
