Dhanush on Kuberaa: 'Playing a beggar was a wholly different experience'

I play a beggar in Kuberaa, Dhanush revealed today at a song launch event. The actor had done a lot of research for the unconventional role. I did my homework. I followed my director's instructions to understand the nuances of my character. He is a brilliant filmmaker. He made my life easy. I really enjoyed the challenge, the Raayan actor said. Dhanush said that he had weird experiences shooting in dump yards and stuff. Every experience teaches you something new. I got to work with a brilliant, positive-minded team. I got to see another part of the world where comforts are not assured. Some of us stay in highly protected environments. I come from a humble background. Doing Kuberaa helped me reconnect with my roots. So, it was a nostalgic experience, the actor said. He praised his director. Sekhar Kammula sir is a fantastic human being. You will not meet a clean-hearted person like him. I loved his energy during the first narration, the versatile actor said. Dhanush revealed that he and Rashmika Mandanna shot in a dump yard for six long hours. Rashmika told me she couldn't smell anything, the SIR actor said. The film, co-starring Nagarjuna, hits the screens on June 20th . Also Read : TGFA celebrates grand spectacles: From Baahubali 2 and RRR to Kalki 2898 AD Kannappa Trailer locks its date
