At the turn of the millennium, a young Dhanush made his first foray into movies—and he’s been one of the biggest acting stars in Tamil cinema ever since, adding producer and director credits along the way. The charismatic star branched out into the singing world in 2011 when he tuned up his pipes for international ‘Tanglish’ (Tamil-English) hit “Why This Kolaveri Di”, composed for the film 3. It was a viral sensation and launched the artist’s music career, which has since blossomed thanks to his mesmerising vocal style, wit and knack for compelling collab choices.
