Dhanush opens up about comparisons with Rajinikanth

When Dhanush’s Velai Illa Pattadhari was released, some critics made inevitable comparisons between Rajinikanth and Dhanush taking note of the latter’s stylish gestures in the film. When the story of Shamitabh traces the life of Dhanush, who goes on to become a superstar in cinema from  being a bus conductor, the comparisons have gone wild now.

“I try my best to stay original.To have such phenomenal actors and legends all over the country and not having any traces of them in you, having your own originality , is a task. Sometimes I get comments about people saying that I have mild traces of Rajinikanth sir here and there, which I gladly accept.Any actor who has been a fan of Rajini sir and who has grown up as one, cannot act without mild traces of him,” says Dhanush about comparisons with Rajinikanth.
