Dhanush’s latest Hollywood feature premiered on Netflix on July 22, and it suffices to say that his acting prowess has coloured his co-stars' impression. In the past few months, we have all heard his ‘The Gray Man’ co-stars shower praises upon him, and the latest are Rege Jean Page and Jessica Henwick.
Comparing the actor to Batman, Rege said even the DC superhero has a long way to go before he can become as “badass” as Dhanush. Dhanush stars as Avik San, a powerful assassin, in the action-thriller directed by The Russo Brothers. Rege stars as CIA director Denny Carmichael, while Jessica plays Suzanne Brewer, a clever and merciless CIA agent.
Rege and Jessica fondly talked about Dhanush in a recent interview. When they were asked to share one thing in the film that they are excited for the audience to see, they named 13-year-old Julia Butters, who plays Claire Fitzroy. Rege added, “Also, close second - Dhanush”, while Jessica added, “Dhanush was amazing.”
Rege said about Dhanush, "The grace and style and badassery of that man, is something to behold and that’s going to be a thunderbolt in the film." Jessica added, "He has a quiet power and I want that.” Rege further compared Batman and Dhanush, saying, "If Batman was twice as badass, he might get halfway to where Dhanush is in this film.”
It comes after Ryan Gosling, who stars as the lead Court Gentry alias Six in the film, praised Dhanush for his on-screen as well as off-screen persona. He had earlier said, "He is incredible. He is such a great actor. He has such an amazing presence on screen. He is so precise. He never made a mistake...And he is just so funny and charming. The biggest difficulty was pretending like we were enemies or something because I just liked him so much.”
