Choreographer-director Farah Khan is so impressed with the screen presence of Tamil actor Dhanush, who is making his Bollywood debut with Hindi romantic drama "Raanjhanaa", that she calls him "screen friendly".
"I think Dhanush is one of the most charming, likeable and screen friendly hero I have seen in a long time! He is what he is and that makes it cool," posted Farah on her Twitter page.
Dhanush already impressed his colleagues down south when the trailer of "Raanjhanaa", which also stars Abhay Deol and Sonam Kapoor, went viral. Even Bollywood diva Sridevi was in awe of him.
"Dhanush comes across very effectively. Abhay as usual lends credibility. The film looks very promising. (I'm) looking forward. All the best," said Sridevi in one of her tweets.
For "Raanjhanaa", the love story of a Muslim guy and a Hindu girl, Anand L. Rai went behind the camera. Produced by Eros International, the film, releasing June 21, will also see Swara Bhaskar.
