Dhanush Birthday 2024: The 2013 film Raanjhanaa, directed by Anand L Rai, is regarded as one of his best works. It featured Sonam Kapoor, Dhanush, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, Swara Bhasker, Abhay Deol, and Kumud Mishra in key roles.
The film celebrates the pure, unrequited childhood love that Dhanush's character, Kundan, has for Sonam Kapoor's Zoya. It's an enjoyable watch with a beautiful story, enhanced by moving music that has stayed with audiences even after 11 years.
When Dhanush danced in the middle of the road
One unforgettable moment was captured when Sony Music India released the video "Raanjhanaa - Making of Raanjhanaa Title Track feat. Dhanush and Sonam Kapoor" on YouTube. Towards the end of the video, we see Dhanush fully immersed in the song, dancing unabashedly in the middle of the road. Despite the chaos of rickshaws, bicycles, and cars passing by, Dhanush remained unaffected.
This scene stays with audiences because it portrays Kundan's deep love for Zoya. It's as if, in his thoughts of Zoya, the world around him faded away, leading him to dance on the road without concern for anything else.
