Telugu actor Harshvardhan Rane claims to be Dhanush's biggest fan in the industry and takes inspiration from him.
"He (Dhanush) is such an inspiring actor and I wish I could be him in my next life. He is one of those actors who is always at ease and doesn't like to go by any norm. I think, the only thing that comes between him and his performance is the camera," Harshvardhan told IANS.
Why do you like him so much?
"He is the most polished actor I have ever come across, who solely believes in himself. He really doesn't worry about what is happening around him and concentrates only on acting. Even if I'm half as good as him, I would be really happy," he said.
Known for his award winning performance in "Aadukalam", Dhanush is making his Bollywoood debut with "Raanjhanaa", which will see him romancing Sonam Kapoor on the big screen. Coming out June 21, the film has been directed by Anand L. Rai.
As soon as "Raanjhanaa" trailer came out, Harsha tweeted: "God, please make me Dhanush in my next life". But he clarifies that he has always been a Dhanush fan.
"It's not because of 'Raanjhanaa' I say that I like him. I have been his fan from a very long time, but I'm looking forward to this film too because he took the effort to learn the (Hindi) language. I think that's the commitment every actor should give to his film," Harsha said.
Currently busy working for upcoming Telugu romance "Prema Ishq Kaadhal", Harsha has worked in Telugu films such as "Thakita Thakita" and "Avunu".
