- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,July 16 2015]
In the press meet held for Maari' ahead of the film's release tomorrow, lead actor Dhanush took on the questions posed by media persons and answered them with patience.
Will Dhanush write lyrics for all you movies?
I will write lyrics only if the director and music director insist on it. I am more interested to pen a story but I feel that I am not yet fully qualified for that.
Given your popularity in Bollywood, can we expect Maari' in Hindi?
I am not sure about it. Sarath sir (Producer R.Sarathkumar) has to take a call.
Why are you meeting the press at the eleventh hour?
We have been on a tight schedule to finish the film on time. The entire work relating to the film and its release was completed only recently.
Why don't you meet the press regularly?
I can meet only when my product is ready.
You were shown smoking in the trailer. Why couldn't you avoid that as it will set a bad precedent among audience?
moking. The character which is a local don had to smoke. And I smoked in the film only as per the demands of the script and character. I don't smoke in real life.
Why did you announce the July 17 release date so suddenly?
It's not a sudden announcement. I announced the July 17 release date, before three and a half months in my Twitter page.
