Dhanush in Hindi film:Cinejwala:

Actor Dhanush is will play the lead role in Aanand L Rai's Hindi movie set against the backdrop of Banaras.

Reports quoted Anand Rai as saying that 'For the past six months, I've been looking for a simple boy to play the lead in 'Ranjhna'. My requirement was a man who could look

vulnerable on screen. When I saw Dhanush in the Tamil film Aadukalam (for
which he won the National award), I liked him immediately. He looks very ordinary and honest, and that was the demand of the character.'

'The film is an intense love story. Just like my film Tanu Weds Manu, the film and its characters will take you to Delhi, Punjab, Chennai, etc.'
