Tere Ishk Mein star Dhanush on challenging roles such as Kundan and Shankar

At a press conference in Delhi, the Idli Kadai star was asked why he was drawn to aggressive roles like Kundan and now Shankar. His co-star Kriti helped translate the question. Dhanush replied, "Aanand calls me for these kinds of films. I asked him, why you keep calling me? He looked at my face. Kriti or Aanand, one of them, told me, you have a great love failure face."

Kriti interjected, "You have the face of a heartbroken man." The actor went on to add, "That day I went back, and I kept looking at my face. What is it about me that... I took it as a compliment. But to be very honest, it's a very challenging role, even Raanjhanaa or this. It looks simple; Raanjhanaa especially looks simple, but it's not. It's a very complicated part to play; a little bit that way or this way, and you may end up not liking Kundan... so a lot of precaution, lot of practice, homework had to be done because it's a very tricky part to create. So likewise, Shankar is very easy to like, but he has his own challenges, which I can't say much now."ALSO READ: Tere Ishk Mein Trailer: Dhanush, Kriti Sanon's Love Story Is Pure Fire"When an actor reads the script and sees these kind of challenges, he jumps on it. Yes, this is what I've been waiting for; I can do something. I don't have to learn the lines, go in front of the camera, say the lines, and come back. I have to work on it. So not often do you get scripts like this. It's nothing to do with aggression; it's just a good part with challenges," Dhanush concluded.Tere Ishk Mein, which also stars Prakash Raj, is releasing in theatres on November 28. AR Rahman has composed the score for the romance drama.
