Dhanush’s Birthday Wish For Music Maestro Ilaiyaraaja Came Gift-Wrapped Like This

For fans eagerly waiting for music maestro Ilaiyaraaja’s biopic, we have an interesting update. On the occasion of the legendary musician’s 81st birthday, Dhanush has unveiled a new poster of the biopic. In the frame, Dhanush is seen looking at fans at what looks like a concert. Dressed in a red shirt and pants, the actor is facing his back towards the camera. Don’t miss the harmonium in the frame. Thanks to the top-angle shot, we also get a glimpse of his team waiting with drums. Sharing the poster, the Raanjhanaa star extended his birthday wishes to the musician and wrote, “Happy birthday to the one and only Ilaiyaraaja sir.”

Dhanush’s upcoming project, Ilaiyaraaja, has created a significant buzz ever since its official announcement on March 20. In the poster, we can see young Dhanush with a bag on his shoulder, ready to take on the world. The film is directed by Arun Matheswaran.

Earlier, Dhanush had even expressed the impact of the musician on his life. During the poster launch event, he shared, “I am a fan of Ilaiyaraaja, a ‘Bhakt’ if you will. His music is my friend and companion, many of you already know this. But beyond that, his music is my acting teacher. From when I had no clue about acting to now, I listen to Ilaiyaraaja’s music or BGM and that has always told me how to act. I would consume his songs and act accordingly and Vetrimaaran has seen me doing this many times.”

It needs to be noted that Dhanush will reunite with Arun Matheswaran for the film after their 2024 release Captain Miller. The project is bankrolled by Connekkt Media, Mercuri Movies, and PK Prime Production in a joint venture.
