It will take people several lifetimes to achieve what Dhanush has in one. After making waves with his performance in Aanand L Rai’s Atrangi Re, the actor-director-singer-writer-producer set his eyes on the Hollywood project The Gray Man. He made his international debut with Ken Scott’s French adventure comedy The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir, but the film didn’t garner the expected reaction. Directed by the Russo brothers, The Gray Man is based on the 2009 novel of the same name by Mark Greaney, and was Dhanush’s second Hollywood outing. "It is a great opportunity. I hope to capitalise it," the actor, who played a small but pivotal part in the Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans-starrer, had said before the film`s release.
Hoping to pave the way for Indian actors who enter Hollywood after him, Dhanush had told Mid-day that he wants to “leave a lasting impression”. “So, it is easier for the next lot [of actors] who are coming into films. I shouldn’t disappoint, [that is] the responsibility on my shoulders.”
