There seems to be an innate connection between Dhanush and Rajinikanth.

And this is not merely because Dhanush is the son-in-law of the Superstar.

Dhanush may be finding Rajini to be having some kind of talismanic success.

After a long time, Dhanush had a blockbuster hit with Thiruvilaiyadal Arambham.

One of the major hits of the film was the song Ennama Kannu. This is a remix of Rajini’s yesteryear hit in Mr Bharat.

The song and several other factors catapulted the movie to big heights. The fact that Dhanush was paired with Shreya, Rajini’s heroine in Sivaji, also underlined Dhanush’s Rajini connection.

His current movie is Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram. Now, Parattai is the name of the legendary character of Rajini in 16 Vayadhinile.

Meanwhile, Dhanush’s new movie is named Pollathavan.

There again, there is a big hit in the same name starring, you guessed it, Rajini in the lead.

Dhanush sure is filling into his f-i-l’s shoes.
