It is common for Bollywood and regional Indian movies to take inspiration from globally popular films and shows but it is quite rare when our movies go on to inspire internationally acclaimed projects. In a recent media interaction, Hollywood filmmakers Anthony and Joe Russo revealed that several action scenes in Marvel movies were inspired by Tamil superstar Dhanush's films.

Joe told ETimes, "It was interesting that while we were working on the Marvel movies, we would research action sequences from other films as inspiration and look for ideas. We have a very good stunt team that we have worked with for years and everyone brings ideas to the table. A lot of times, we'd look at clips from other movies. I noticed that we would see a lot of clips of Dhanush in action."

He further added, "After seeing two or three clips, I was like 'Who is this?' That's how we came to know Dhanush... it was while working on Marvel films. Dhanush inspired a couple of sequences and hand-to-hand combat scenes in those movies."

Dhanush will soon be seen playing a significant role in Russo Brothers' upcoming film 'The Gray Man' which also stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana De Armas.
