The promotional press meet for 'Maari 2' happened today and Dhanush got emotional while speaking about Yuvan Shankar Raja.  The multitalented star said that his debut movie 'Thulluvadho Ilamai' made with six youngsters was sold only because of Yuvan's name attached to it.  Dhanush conceded that if that film had not seen the light of day his family would literally have come to the streets.

Dhanush stated that apart from his brother Selvaraghavan who taught him the ABCD of acting it was Yuvan through his music in 'Thulluvadho Ilamai' and 'Kadhal Kondein' helped him get his footing in the Tamil industry.  The 'Maari 2' hero asserted that even if he hurts other music directors he does not mind and said that for the past twenty-five years Yuvan Shankar Raja is constant on one side while his competitors have kept changing.

'Maari 2' directed by Balaji Mohan and produced by Dhanush has Krishna, Varalakshmi Sarathkumar, Tovino Thomas, Sai Pallavi, Robo Shankar and Kalloori Vinod.  The film hits the screens on December 21st worldwide.
