Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar, one of the self-confessed fans of south Indian cinema, took to his Twitter page to rave about Dhanush’s Asuran, which has become the actor’s top-grossing title in Tamil Nadu, dethroning his previous superhit Vada Chennai.
What a film #Asuran is!!! Hits you hard and is riveting right through! Blown away by #VetriMaaran’s craft and story telling!!!! And @dhanushkraja is beyond amazing! Rock solid performance! His calm before the storm is unmatchable! Please watch it! Cinema victory!

Johar also heaped praise on Vetrimaaran’s craft and storytelling. Asuran marked the fourth-time collaboration between Dhanush and Vetrimaaran and was produced by Kalaipuli S Thanu’s V Creations. The film topped both Chennai and TN box-office in its third frame. The TN theatrical gross of the movie has sailed past the Rs 40 cr mark in less than 20 days.
