Recently, an aged couple moved the court claiming that actor Dhanush is their son, who as a 12-year-old child had ran away from the house in search of acting opportunities!

Kathiresan and Meenakshi of Thiruppavanam, have alleged that Dhanush, originally named Kalaiyarasan, had deserted them since he became an actor in 2002. The couple have sought a maintenance money of sixty five thousand rupees from the Melur Judicial Majistrate Court.

The Madurai branch of the Madras HC had summoned the actor to be present at the Court to verify certain birthmarks on the actor as claimed by Kathiresan and Meenakshi.

Dhanush arrived at the Court today morning amidst commotion. The Court has ordered a Govt. doctor to probe the birthmarks on the actor's body at the Judicial Chambers. The case has been adjourned to March 2.
