Among Tamil cinema’s most multi-talented stars, Dhanush stands out—not just as an actor but also as a singer, lyricist, and director. Every project he has helmed so far has struck a chord with audiences, showcasing his creative depth behind the camera as much as in front of it. While his directorial debut Raangi in Tamil won acclaim, he has yet to make his mark as a director in Telugu cinema.
However, that might change soon.
At the recent pre-release event of Kubera, Dhanush was asked who he would like to direct in Telugu if given the chance. Without missing a beat, he responded: “Power Star Pawan Kalyan.” His answer instantly electrified the audience, triggering loud cheers and a wave of excitement across the venue.
Interestingly, it’s often been said that Pawan Kalyan is a fan of Dhanush’s work—and now, with Dhanush publicly expressing his desire to collaborate, fans of both stars are abuzz with anticipation. The idea of two powerhouse performers joining forces has sparked endless speculation about what such a film could look like.
While nothing has been officially confirmed, Dhanush’s statement has planted the seed of a collaboration that fans would love to see blossom on the big screen.
Meanwhile, all eyes are on Kubera, Dhanush’s upcoming release directed by Shekhar Kammula, which is slated to hit theatres on June 20. With its fresh narrative and star-studded team, the film is already generating considerable buzz—and Dhanush’s comment has only added more heat to the hype.
