At the promotional event of Dhanush's next Raayan in Hyderabad, the Captain Miller actor was asked about his future movie projects and which Telugu actor he would be interested in working with in a multi-starrer. Dhanush instantly referred to RRR star Jr NTR’s name.
Also known as Tarak, Jr NTR is Dhanush's one of the favorite actors in Tollywood, alongside his top choice, Pawan Kalyan. Fans are now speculating that Dhanush and Jr NTR might come together for Vetrimaran-directed multilingual movie. This has been triggered after the speculation that Vetrimaran has already pitched a story featuring both these actors.
Dhanush is gearing up for the release of his next release, Raayan which hits theaters on July 26. Now all the attention of Tamil industry is focused on this Dhanush directorial venture since the much-anticipated Kamal Haasan's Indian 2 didn't work at the box office.
Raayan is Dhanush's second directorial venture after Paa Paandi which released in 2017. In Raayan, Dhanush himself plays the lead role in a story revolving around gangsters from North Chennai.
After the success of Vaathi, Dhanush enjoys quite an impressive stardom in Telugu states. That’s why he held a promotional event in Hyderabad with his co-stars Sundeep Kishan and Kalidas Jayaram.
