Actor Dhanush appears to have done some serious ‘soul-searching’ of late. The actor has been hard hit by the successive failures of his films at the box-ofice for the past 3-4 years, the most notable of them being his latest release 3 which was also the debut directorial venture of his wife Aishwarya. Though the on-screen pairing of Dhanush and Shruti Hassan was appreciated, the film nose-dived at the box-office.

Last heard, Dhanush has reportedly decided not to do any ‘serious film’ for the time being as his last couple of films in Mayakkam Enna and 3 have had serious scripts with little room for humour. In order to deviate from the ‘serious’ mode, Dhanush is said to have decided to star in director Sargunam’s next film which is touted as a full-length comedy.
Dhanush has expressed his willingness to star in the film after he heard Sargnuam’s script. Kathiresan, who last produced Dhanush’s Polladhavan, returns with this untitled film as producer. The heroine and other actors are yet to be finalized, it is learnt.
