Dhanush is currently in the US for the shooting of his first full-fledged Hollywood movie 'The Gray Man' directed by The Russo Brothers of 'Avengers Endgame' fame. His costars Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans are two of the biggest names in the game currently.

'The Gray Man' is based on a novel of the same name written by Mark Greaney who has opened up in a recent interview about the project. He has stated "It is facinating to me that they cast an Indian actor Dhanush, whom I am not familiar with. I assume he plays one of head of the kill team that is after Court Gentry (played by Ryan Gosling). ".

About Dhanush's star power Greaney has this to say "I have some 6000 followers on Twitter and it is nothing special. Then Dhanush followed me on Twitter, the Indian actor who is going be in 'The Gray Man'. I was like wow he is following me and he has some 9.7 million followers. He is a very big deal."

From Greaney's own words it is clear that Dhanush is playing a negative shaded character in 'The Gray Man' which is the biggest budgeted film in Netflix history. The film also has Ana De Armas, Wagner Moura, Julia Butters and Jessica Henwick in the cast.
