Actor Dhanush surprised his fans by singing in Telugu at the pre-release event of his upcoming bilingual film ‘Sir’ in Hyderabad. A clip from the event has surfaced on social media and fans can’t stop raving about his voice. Some also pointed out how comfortably he sang in the language.
Dhanush wore a white kurta with pyjamas at the event. He sang the song ‘Mastaaru Mastaaru’ from his movie. It was an impromptu performance which caught the audience by surprise as they kept clapping for him throughout the song. Dhanush took some help as he looked up the lyrics on his phone.
Reacting to the video, fans hailed Dhanush’s voice and his effortless singing in the comments. One user wrote in Telugu. “Doesn’t even sound like Dhanush. What a voice.” “Arre wah. #Dhanush just rocked it without instruments. Perfect in tune and specially Telugu in his voice is so good. Made me like this song,” added another one.
Directed by Venky Atluri, ‘Sir’ has been simultaneously shot in Telugu and Tamil. It’s titled ‘Sir’ in Telugu and ‘Vaathi’ in Tamil. Both versions of the film were released worldwide last week.
Talking about the film, Venky Atluri recently said in a press interaction that some incidents from his student life inspired him to make ‘Vaathi.’ “I finished my class 12th around 1998. That’s when the private schools were really flourishing and were slowly taking over the government schools. It had become a big issue back then and even got the government involved to sort this issue. Some of these events inspired me to make Vaathi," he said.
He added that the film, set in the 1990s, will shine the spotlight on privatisation of the education system and how one man fought against it.
The film marks Dhanush’s debut in the Telugu industry. It also stars Samyuktha and Samuthirakani in key roles. Meanwhile, Dhanush is currently filming his upcoming Tamil action-thriller 'Captain Miller’, which marks his maiden collaboration with filmmaker Arun Matheswaran.
