Forever grateful to it for giving me new love from people, new lessons as a performer, new lessons as a performer, new core memories and new relationships. And of course I have to thank my man @wikkiofficial for giving me NRD, which gave me him. Sharing a collection of images that I've been carrying in my phone along with me all these years that constantly remind me of my special film.”
For the unversed, Naanum Rowdy Dhan was released on October 21, 2015. The musical score of the movie was handled by Anirudh Ravichander while it was entirely bankrolled under superstar Dhanush's production house, Wunderbar Films.
Initially, music composer Anirudh was chosen to spearhead the project. However, after he dropped out, it was Gautham Karthik and Lavanya Tripathi who were chosen as the lead pair. But when the project failed to materialize even after that, it was Dhanush who then took the reins of the movie and Nayanthara-Vijay Sethupathi were finally chosen as the leads.
The plot of the story revolves around the life of a rowdy man who falls in love with a girl whose hearing is impaired. However, he faces a grave challenge when his ladylove makes an unexpected request to him.
