Full Name: Venkatesh Prabhu Kasthuri Raja
Stage Name: Dhanush
Date of Birth: July 28, 1983
Birthplace: Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
Dhanush was born into a film-oriented family. His father, Kasthuri Raja, is a well-known Tamil film director, and his elder brother, Selvaraghavan, is a popular filmmaker known for his unconventional storytelling.
Though Dhanush originally wanted to pursue a career outside of films (he once mentioned wanting to become a chef or study hotel management), his brother Selvaraghavan convinced him to try acting — and that decision changed his life.
🎬 Career Beginnings (2002–2004)
Dhanush made his acting debut in “Thulluvadho Ilamai” (2002), directed by his father but written by Selvaraghavan. The film was a youth-centric story that became a sleeper hit, marking Dhanush as a promising new actor.
His second film, “Kadhal Kondein” (2003), directed by Selvaraghavan, was a turning point. His performance as a lonely, disturbed young man earned critical acclaim and established him as a serious actor.
🚀 Rise to Stardom (2005–2010)
Over the next few years, Dhanush appeared in a series of films, experimenting with roles:
-
“Pudhupettai” (2006) – A gangster drama directed by Selvaraghavan, now considered a cult classic.
-
“Polladhavan” (2007) – Inspired by the Italian classic Bicycle Thieves, this movie was a huge commercial success and showcased Dhanush’s mass appeal.
-
“Yaaradi Nee Mohini” (2008) – A romantic drama that became one of his biggest hits.
By the late 2000s, Dhanush had built a reputation for being a versatile actor capable of balancing mass and artistic films.
💥 Breakthrough and National Fame (2011–2015)
In 2011, Dhanush starred in “Aadukalam”, directed by Vetrimaaran. His performance as a cockfighter from Madurai earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor — one of the youngest actors to win it.
That same year, he became a national phenomenon with the viral song “Why This Kolaveri Di”, sung and written by him for the film 3 (directed by his wife, Aishwarya R. Dhanush). The song went viral across India and beyond, making Dhanush a household name.
He later starred in:
-
“Maryan” (2013)
-
“Velaiilla Pattadhari (VIP)” (2014) – A major box office hit.
-
“Anegan” (2015)
🌍 Bollywood and International Success (2013–Present)
Dhanush made his Hindi film debut in “Raanjhanaa” (2013) opposite Sonam Kapoor, directed by Aanand L. Rai. His portrayal of Kundan received immense praise and several award nominations.
He reunited with Rai in “Atrangi Re” (2021) alongside Sara Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar.
In 2022, Dhanush made his Hollywood debut in Netflix’s “The Gray Man”, directed by the Russo Brothers (Avengers: Endgame directors). He played a skilled assassin, and his performance was widely appreciated.
🎭 Recent Work (2018–2025)
Some of his notable recent films include:
-
“Asuran” (2019) – Another National Award-winning performance.
-
“Karnan” (2021) – Critically acclaimed for its powerful social message.

He continues to balance acting, direction, and music — producing under his banner Wunderbar Films.
💞 Personal Life
Dhanush married Aishwarya R. Dhanush, the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, in 2004. They have two sons — Yatra and Linga.
In 2022, the couple announced their separation after 18 years of marriage, though they continue to co-parent amicably.
