The Atrangi Re actor Dhanush recently opened up in an interview with The Indian Express, that why he prefer Tamil films over Hindi Films. He also added on his criterion for Hindi Films in future.
When asked, “Given a choice, would you prefer doing Hindi films over Tamil films?” he said, “No, my heart and soul is in my mother tongue. I’ll do Tamil films predominantly. I’ll do Hindi films when I land very good stories, and very good filmmakers. I’ll do Telugu film, Malayalam films, I’d love to do Marathi films, I will do films in any language as long as the story is good. We all are in the same industry, the same country, and I would take every opportunity to do films in the Indian film industry, but like I said, my mother tongue is where my soul is.”
He added on his criterion for Hindi films, saying, “The criteria is always the same — a good script. A lot of good scripts have come my way, unfortunately I was busy doing other things so I didn’t come here (to Mumbai). When I had the time, I couldn’t land the right scripts. So, it was always like a cat and mouse game. But, Aanand L Rai told me about this film a year in advance. He said, ‘I am doing something for you and I’ll need you around this time’. So I blocked those dates well in advance.” as quoted by The Indian Express.
