At a recent event, Indian actor Dhanush reflected on his early career struggles with body image, recalling how he was often criticized for being too thin before the release of his film Polladhavan in 2007. This film, directed by Vetrimaaran, was a pivotal moment for him, as it showcased his transformation and garnered applause for his six-pack abs. Dhanush shared a motivational message with younger fans, quoting a philosophy from the Bhagavad Gita, emphasizing the power of self-belief and manifestation. He noted that despite doubts from others, he remained confident in his potential to win a National Award, which he later achieved for his roles in Aadukalam and Asuran. Looking ahead, Dhanush is set to star in his upcoming film Kara, where he plays a dacoit involved in bank robberies. The film is scheduled for release in theaters on April 30 and features music by G. V. Prakash Kumar.
