Entering, Entering, Entering Bollywood he…! Dhanush the "Kolaveri Di" sensation is coming to Bollywood. Aanand L Raj the helmer of 'Tanu Weds Manu' has roped in Dhanush for his upcoming film 'Raanjhnaa'.

The director has been quoted saying that, Dhanush is keen to explore this part of the industry and learn the local language and culture.

When quizzed about the movie, the director adds, “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.”

Dhanush too is very excited about the project. News is that the director had approached him for the movie before "Kolaveri Di" happened. “It’s a big deal to get a launch like this at the beginning of my career here. Aanand’s script is different from regular cinema; it’s one of those ‘made to make a difference’ kind of films”, quips the actor.

The actor who recently visited Banaras with director Anand Rai was amazed with the culture and the traditions in a different part of the country. Buzz is that he is even planning to hire a coach to learn Hindi. He is convinced that by the time the shoot gets over, he will be able to communicate fluently in the local language.

Aanand explains the reason behind appointing Dhanush, he says, “For the past six months, I’ve been looking for a simple boy to play the lead in Raanjhnaa. 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.”
