Dhanush's Walk Down Memory Lane in Banaras
The much-anticipated film 'Tere Ishk Mein', starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, finally released in theatres today. On the eve of its premiere, Dhanush sent his fans on a nostalgic trip by sharing a series of photographs from his recent visit to Varanasi, the city that launched his iconic character, Kundan, in Aanand L Rai's classic 'Raanjhanaa'.
A Full Circle Moment with Aanand L Rai
In his social media post on Wednesday, Dhanush uploaded several pictures, some of which featured filmmaker Aanand L Rai, the creative force behind both 'Raanjhanaa' and the new release 'Tere Ishk Mein'. His heartfelt caption reflected on the enduring connection he shares with the city and his most beloved character. He wrote about walking through the same narrow lanes, sitting outside the same house, and drinking tea from the same shop, all while being accompanied by the director who started it all. He described the experience as a "full circle" moment before shifting focus to his new character, Shankar, in 'Tere Ishk Mein'.
Mrunal Thakur's Heartfelt Comment Ignites Rumours
The post quickly garnered significant attention, especially after actress Mrunal Thakur left an enthusiastic comment. She praised Dhanush's journey, calling the film a "BLOCKBUSTER" and a "LEGACY," accompanied by a high-five emoji. Dhanush acknowledged her supportive words with smiley and a white heart emoji, a simple exchange that immediately set the rumour mill abuzz. Speculation about a potential relationship between the two actors first began in August after they were spotted together at a movie premiere. The rumours gained more traction when Mrunal attended the wrap party for 'Tere Ishk Mein' and later followed Dhanush's sisters on Instagram. Both stars have maintained a strict silence regarding their personal lives, letting their actions and social media interactions do all the talking.
This blend of professional milestone and personal intrigue has created a perfect storm of publicity for the film's release, connecting Dhanush's celebrated past with his promising new project.
