Playing a teenage school boy has never been an easy task for any of the actors in the industry. While most actors would take this up with the help of a VFX team, a few actors prove their versatality without any special effects.


Actor Dhanush has enacted the role of a school boy before in films like 'Thulluvadho Ilamai (2002)' and 'Kaadhal Konden (2003)' that were shot during his early days. He proved himself of his versatality again, playing a school going kid in the recently released psychological thriller '3 (2012)' with Shruti Haasan in the lead.

As reported earlier, the multi-talented actor is making his Bollywood debut with the Anand L. Rai directed 'Raanjhnaa' co-starring fashionista Sonam Kapoor as his heroine.

The shooting of the film is progressing at a brisk pace and from the recently released pictures from the shooting spot, it has been confirmed that Dhanush is playing a school boy again.


Supporting this, the film’s director Anand Rai said that the crowd could identify neither of the stars sporting a school uniform. Although one would admit that both the actors look younger their age, it arouses an inevitable question if the film is the Hindi remake of Dhanush's last release '3' directed by Aishwarya R. Dhanush.

While rumormongers were entertaining our followers with their rumors, Celebs Factory confirmed with director Anand L. Rai about these speculations that is now ablaze on micro-blogging and social networking websites.

A professional of a film maker that Anand Rai is, was quick to act against these rumors and took it to Twitter to clarify that his film 'Raanjhanna' would be an original. Thus putting an end to all the baseless rumors and media speculations to rest.

Isai is going to be a musical but will have some interesting twists and turns in the second half, Suryah promised. Newcomer, Savithri is the heroine.

One of the reasons for the buzz around the film is that S.J Suryah himself is composing the music for the film following the advice of A.R Rahman, who told Suryah that he had what it took to be a music composer. So after Isai is wrapped up, Suryah will try to prove his versatility with Puli.

After Puli, Suryah said that he will be doing another film in Tamil titled 'Ezhumalai/chitra'. He will play the lead role in this one too.
