Dhanush has finally addressed the growing buzz around his son Yatra’s entry into the film industry, but the star remains cautious about making any big declarations just yet. Speaking during a recent media
interaction, he described it as “too early to say” whether Yatra will follow in his footsteps.
Speaking at the Kara pre-release event, the actor was quoted as saying, “I came into acting at the age of 16 because of my circumstances. He is just 19 now, and I still see him as a kid. I don’t know what he will become yet, it’s too early to say.” The actor’s comment comes amid rumours suggesting that he might be planning to launch his son in cinema, possibly by directing the film himself.
It is worthy to mention here that Dhanush’s son, Yatra, has already made his debut as lyricist in his father’s third directorial venture, titled Nilavuku En Mel Ennadi Kobam. Actor SJ Suryah claimed that Yatra has written the lyrics of the film’s first single, Golden Sparrow. A member from Dhanush’s production house revealed the truth about Yatra’s contribution to the song. SJ Suryah shared Dhanush’s post regarding the first single and revealed that he watched the song starring Priyanka Mohan. Replying to SJ Suryah’s post, Sreyas, CEO of Dhanush’s Wunderbar Studios, mentioned that Yatra wrote only the four lines in the song. “Sirrr, Arivu brother has written the song, sir, but Yathra wrote only the hook and four lines of the song, sir. Thank you for your sweet words, sir. #GoldenSparrow from August 30th. #NEEK (sic).”
Dhanush’s work
The actor will be next seen in Kara. Set against the backdrop of the 1991 Gulf War, the trailer begins with news of oil wells in Kuwait being set on fire by Iraq, triggering a massive impact on global economy, and severe fuel crisis. This widespread scarcity forms the core conflict of the film. Dhanush plays Karasaami, also known as Kara, a former robber who is compelled to return to crime as circumstances push him into survival mode.
The trailer shows Kara pulling off a series of bank robberies, while a determined police officer, played by Suraj Venjaramoodu, starts investigating and tracking the crimes. Meanwhile, Kara faces suspicion from those around him, who question whether he has truly reformed. The narrative builds tension as he struggles against both law enforcement and personal doubt.
Apart from Dhanush, the cast of Kara includes Mamitha Baiju as Selli, Jayaram as Muthu Selvan, KS Ravikumar as Kandhasaami, Suraj Venjaramoodu as Bharathan, and Karunaas as Kasi Maayan, Sreeja Ravi as Dhanam, and Prithvi Pandiarajan as Murugesan.
Dhanush has recently announced his next film, tentatively titled D55. Mammooty, Sai Pallavi, and Sreeleela are also part of the upcoming film. And now the project recently went on floors with a traditional mahurat ceremony, and pictures from the event have quickly gone viral across social media, sparking excitement among fans.
