How Dhanush Became 'The Sexy Tamil'

Dhanush's international career started with the 2018 film The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir.

Netflix's latest outing The Gray Man marks his debut in Hollywood.

Dhanush, along with Anthony and Joe Russo, addressed the media in Mumbai.

Which Russo Brothers movies are you a fan of?

Dhanush: Of course, Avengers: Infinity War.

If you have kids at home, you will know who the Russos are, right?

My kids are big fans of theirs.

We have gone to the theatres to watch their films. It's amazing to have an opportunity to work with them.

When you go into making a new action film, right after you make two of the biggest superhero films ever, how do you approach action?

Anthony Russo: Well, this movie was an incredible opportunity for us because, look, we have been working in the realm of fantasies and science fiction with the Marvel films and there are different rules to how those universes work.

That's part of the fun of making those movies; you are dealing with the fantasy realm.

The challenge for us in this movie was going from those movies where so much was possible, you go to outer space; you can go to another dimension to dealing -with something that resembles our real world.

And, of course, even though the stories are heightened, it still tries to behave according to the laws of physics in a way that is recognisable to us and plausibly real in our world.

So we deal with our different rules and limitations, but limitations are always really good for creativity because it forces you to become inventive within the restrictions of the limitations.

So that was a great throw for Joe and I.

Joe Russo: No capes, no shields in this one.
