Dhanush’s extremely-catchy song ‘Why This Kolaveri Di?’ became a massive hit across borders, earning him even more acclaim. If this wasn’t enough, might we tell you that this superstar is married to another south superstar (Rajnikanth’s) daughter? If this breaks a few of your hearts, you’re not alone. Dhanush has also appeared in the Bollywood film Shamitabh. He made his movie debut with Thulluvadho Ilamai in 2002.

All of you Hindi movie fanatics will instantly recognise this face and name, owing to the box-office success of his movie Raanjhana, one of the leading Romantic Movies of Bollywood starring Sonam Kapoor. But did you know that he actually hails from the south? Dhanush’s real name is Venkatesh Prabhu, but we all know him by his stage name. He’s definitely one of the top 10 south heroes, having delivered multiple hits during his acting career. Dhanush is also a master of many talents, with professions in playback singing, writing and even as a lyricist.
