Chennai
Chennai /ˈtʃɛnaɪ/, formerly Madras /məˈdræs/, is the capital city of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal, it is a major commercial, cultural, and educational centre in South India, while the port of Chennai is the second largest port in India. As of the 2011 census, the city had 4.68 million residents making it the sixth most populous city in India; the urban agglomeration, which comprises the city and its suburbs, was home to approximately 8.9 million, making it the fourth most populous metropolitan area in the country.
Although the area has been part of successive South Indian kingdoms through centuries, the recorded history of the city began in the colonial times, specifically with the arrival of British East India Company and the establishment in 1644 of Fort St George, an English settlement. The British defended several attacks from the French colonial forces, and from the kingdom of Mysore, on Chennai's way to become a major naval port and presidency city by late eighteenth century. Following the independence of India, Chennai became the capital of Tamil Nadu and a hotbed of regional politics that tended to bank on Dravidian identity of the populace. Chennai had become a bustling metropolis with beautiful classical and colonial European styled buildings, lining the city’s thoroughfares.

Italy
Italy
i/ˈɪtəli/ (Italian: Italia [iˈtaːlja]), officially the Italian Republic or the Republic of Italy (Italian: Repubblica italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in south-central Europe. To the north, it borders France, Switzerland, Austria and Slovenia along the Alps. To the south, it consists of the entirety of the Italian Peninsula, Sicily, Sardinia–the two largest islands in the Mediterranean Sea–and many other smaller islands. The independent states of San Marino and the Vatican City are enclaves within Italy, while Campione d'Italia is an Italian exclave in Switzerland. The territory of Italy covers some 301,338 km2 (116,347 sq mi) and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. With 60.6 million inhabitants, it is the fifth most populous country in Europe, and the 23rd most populous in the world.
Rome, the capital of Italy, was for centuries a political and religious centre of Western civilisation as the capital of the Roman Empire and site of the Holy See. After the decline of the Roman Empire, Italy endured numerous invasions by foreign peoples, from Germanic tribes such as the Lombards and Ostrogoths, to the Byzantines and later, the Normans, among others. Centuries later, Italy became the birthplace of Maritime republics and the Renaissance, an immensely fruitful intellectual movement that would prove to be integral in shaping the subsequent course of European thought.

His first film, in 2002, was Thamizh with Prashanth and Simran. It was a hit at the box-office and revived actor Prashanth's sagging career. Film critic Balaji commented that it was "one of the few movies in recent times where a lot of importance seems to have been attached to the script.

His second film Saamy under Kavithaalaya banner starring Vikram was the biggest blockbuster of 2003. His next two films Kovil with Silambarasan and Arul with Vikram again were unsuccessful. In 2005, he made Ayya starring Sarathkumar, which introduced Nayantara to Tamil cinema. Ayya was a superhit. His next film was Aaru with Suriya which was an average grosser.

PETA
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) (stylized PeTA) is an American animal rights organization based in Norfolk, Virginia, and led by Ingrid Newkirk, its international president. A non-profit corporation with 300 employees and two million members and supporters, it claims to be the largest animal rights group in the world. Its slogan is "animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment."
Founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco, the organization first caught the public's attention in the summer of 1981 during what became known as the Silver Spring monkeys case, a widely publicized dispute about experiments conducted on 17 macaque monkeys inside the Institute of Behavioral Research in Silver Spring, Maryland. The case lasted ten years, involved the only police raid on an animal laboratory in the United States, triggered an amendment in 1985 to that country's Animal Welfare Act, and established PETA as an internationally known organization. Since then, in its campaigns and undercover investigations, it has focused on four core issues—opposition to factory farming, fur farming, animal testing, and animals in entertainment—though it also campaigns against fishing, the killing of animals regarded as pests, the keeping of chained backyard dogs, cock fighting, dog fighting, and bullfighting.

He won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in Aadukalam. He is the son of Kasthuri Raja and the brother of Selvaraghavan, both directors in Tamil cinema. Dhanush has been in the spotlight in the wake of the mass success of his song "Why This Kolaveri Di".

Acting career[link]
Early career: 2001–04[link]
Following his upbringing as the son of a noted director, Dhanush debuted under the direction of Kasthuri Raja in the Thulluvadho Ilamai with fellow debutant, Sherin. Upon release, the film fetch up big reviews and was a blockbuster, following the story of his character, Mahesh,[2] and how his friends help him elope with his girlfriend.
But Dhanush's breakthrough film was in his brother Selvaraghavan's first directorial venture, Kadhal Kondein. The film portrayed Dhanush as a mentally-disturbed youth, Vinodh, who yearned for the love of his friend, played by Sonia Agarwal, eventually turning possessive over her.[3] Upon release, the film won critical acclaim and became a commercial success, catapulting Dhanush into the main foray of actors in Tamil films.[4][5] Furthermore his next film, released later in 2003, Thiruda Thirudi became a blockbuster. Appearing in his first hero-centric film, Dhanush earned Good reviews for his portrayal opposite debutant Chaya Singh.[6] Furthermore, his performance in the song, Manmadha Rasa, was appreciated, subsequently earning the song cult status.
Setback: 2004–05[link]
Despite achieving three profitable ventures in his first three films, Dhanush's following films all gained mixed reviews and were commercial failures. The first failure was his first action film, Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan opposite Aparna Pillai, was lamented by critics as a "poor film".[7] This was followed by Ramana's Sullan, which received negative reviews.[4][8] However the film, which had Sindhu Tolani as the lead heroine, was dubbed into Telugu as Maurya.[9] The third and most-criticized failure was Dreams alongside two new heroines.[10] The film directed by his father, like their previous venture was released with reviews claiming it was another adult film.[11] This hampered the film's progress, and the film remains Dhanush's biggest failure till date.
In 2005, Dhanush had two average grossers in Devathaiyai Kanden and the much-hyped Balu Mahendra's Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam. The former was a commercial venture, directed by debutant Boopathy Pandian, which despite receiving average reviews on Dhanush's performance,[12] was dubbed into Telugu,[9] while the latter, an off-beat venture, which featured Dhanush opposite Priyamani, received rave reviews but failed to succeed at the box-office.[13]
Breakthrough: 2006–2010[link]
Dhanush's biggest film, in terms of budget, till date is the 2006-released Pudhupettai. The film, re-united him with his brother after their successful previous venture, pitted him against two prominent heroines Sneha and Sonia Agarwal.[14] The movie is about the rites of passages in the life and times of an everyday-man who ends up as a dreaded gangster, 'Kokki' Kumar, the role portrayed by Dhanush. A critic praised Dhanush's realistic portrayal, claiming that "as the innocent boy who transmogrifies into a bloody criminal, Dhanush is utterly believable. The subtle changes in his body language and his ability to give every expression a deeper meaning make the character more interesting. This is certainly one of his better performances."[15] The film which became universally critically praised, failed to relate to Tamil Nadu audiences and ended up being an above average grosser at the box-office, despite the positive reviews. The film fared marginally better, in the Telugu dubbed version, titled Dhoolpet.[9] Dhanush achieved his first hit in three years with the commercial entertainer Thiruvilayadal Arambam, alongside Shriya Saran and Prakash Raj. The comedy film showed the relationship between a poor man who loved the sister of a businessman. The film was well-received by critics and audiences alike.[16][17]
Dhanush's first release of 2007, Parattai Engira Azhagu Sundaram, bombed at the box-office, gaining negative reviews in the process.[18] The film, which was a remake of the successful Kannada language film, Jogi, starred him opposite Meera Jasmine[19] However, his second film Polladhavan released during Diwali 2007,[20] became a blockbuster at the box office, in which his performance was raved. Polladhavan, based on 1948–Italian neorealist The Bicycle Thieves, featured Dhanush opposite Divya Spandana,[20] and the film's "fresh screenplay" by director Vetrimaran helped the film become a super hit.[21]
The remake of a successful Telugu film directed by his brother, was the plotline for Dhanush's first 2008 release. Directed by debutant M. Jawahar, Yaaradi Nee Mohini with Nayantara[22] became a big blockbuster at the box-office. He later appeared in a cameo appearance, for his father-in-law Rajnikanth's venture, Kuselan, being portrayed as himself in a song sequence. His subsequent venture was Suraj's Padikathavan opposite Tamannaah Bhatia which had a January 2009 release.[23] His performance was praised, with Sify.com citing that "Dhanush is in top form in his dance" and "has improved a lot in action", with claims that the climax fight featuring him was "outstanding" and the film had become a super hit, giving Dhanush a "hat-trick of successes".[24] His following 2010 films Kutty and Uthama Puthiran, both collaborations with director Mithran Jawahar, received mixed reviews and but were decent hits.
Aadukalam and the future: 2011–present[link]
Dhanush's first 2011 release was Aadukalam, marking his second collaboration with Vetrimaran, which he had shot for over a period of three years. Dhanush played the role of a local cockfighter, KP Karuppu and described the venture as his "dream project" during production.[25] The film gained very positive reviews and won six prizes at the 58th National Film Awards, with Dhanush receiving accolades for his performance including the National Film Award for Best Actor,[26] becoming the youngest actor to win the award.[27] Dhanush appeared in an extended guest appearance in Subramania Siva's Seedan, portraying the role of a god. His next two ventures were action-masala films, Mappillai, a remake of his father-in-law's same-titled 1989 comedy flick and Venghai by Hari, which both opened to mixed reviews.
His next film, another collaboration with his brother, Mayakkam Enna released to generally positive reviews and was declared a successful venture at boxoffice. His recent release was 3 directed by his wife, Aishwarya Rajinikanth with Shruti Haasan paired opposite him. The film particularly gained high popularity prior to the release, after the single track "Why This Kolaveri Di", penned and sung by Dhanush went viral. The movie has become a commercial success.[28][29] He has signed a fantasy period film Mareesan to be directed by Chimbu Deven,[30] as well as his first Hindi film titled Raanjhnaa that would be directed by Aanand L Rai.[31]
Other work[link]
Dhanush occasionally works as a playback singer and lyricist as well, generally in his own films. He was introduced as a playback singer in Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan by its composer Yuvan Shankar Raja and collaborated again with him in his brother Selvaraghavan's directorial, Pudhupettai. He sung further numbers in Selvaraghavan's films Aayirathil Oruvan and Mayakkam Enna; the former featured him alongside his wife Aishwarya Rajinikanth. His biggest success became the song "Why this Kolaveri Di" from his upcoming film 3, directed by his wife. The song became viral on internet and gained overwhelming response, fetching Dhanush nationwide fame.[32][33][34] He had also sung another song "Kannazhaga" from the same film with his co-star Shruti Haasan. He was nominated to become the brand ambassador of PETA with the title of India's Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity of 2011.[35]
Personal life[link]
Family[link]
Dhanush was born to film director Kasthuri Raja as Venkatesh Prabhu Kasthuri Raja. He finished higher education at St. John's Matriculation Higher Secondary School Alwarthirunagar and entered acting, after being pressured by his brother, director Selvaraghavan.[36] Dhanush was married on 18 November 2004 to actor Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwarya.[37] They have two sons, named Yatra (b. 10 October 2006) and Linga (b. 21 June 2010).
Facebook account[link]
In August 2009, Dhanush publicly announced that an account on Facebook under the name "Dhanush Kasthuri Raja" was not his but a fake user, taking his identity. The account had nearly 4000 friends added, which the actor claimed were mostly his global fans. He ordered the user to deactivate the account immediately, before any intentions of tarnishing his image, while he takes up the issue with cyber-crime authorities.[38]
