Dhanush's short hair and moustache look from Tere Ishk Mein set has fans going: ‘Is that you Hardik Pandya?'
Actor Dhanush and Aanand L Rai have reunited for another romantic drama, Tere Ishk Mein. The actor's first look from the film showed him with a heavy beard and long hair. However, a new look from the set has now surfaced online, hinting that he may be playing an IAF officer, and fans can't keep calm.

An X user shared Dhanush's photos from the Tere Ishk Mein set, which showed him with short hair and a moustache. He is seen wearing an Indian Air Force uniform with 'Shankar' on the name tag. Fans were quick to react to the pictures. While some thought he looked leaner and stronger, others were reminded of cricketer Hardik Pandya after seeing the look.
One of the comments read, 'Looks like Hardik Pandya.' Another said, 'Bro, that's Hardik Pandya.' Another fan commented, 'He looks kinda buff — or is it because of the suit he's wearing? Nonetheless, looking great IMO.' Another wrote, 'He looks good.'
The actor's look is completely different from what was shown during the film's announcement. The announcement video showed Dhanush sporting a grittier and more intense look, with shoulder-length hair and a heavy beard. The clip featured Dhanush running towards a wall with a Molotov cocktail in his hand while smoking. As he ran on a road at night, glass shattered around him. Towards the end of the clip, Dhanush was heard saying, 'Pichli baar toh Kundan tha, maan gaya. Par iss baar Shankar ko kaise rokoge?' (Last time it was Kundan, who accepted his fate. But how will you stop Shankar this time?) — referring to his character from Raanjhanaa.
Helmed by Aanand L Rai, the film's story, dialogues, and screenplay have been penned by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav. The film is produced by Himanshu. Aanand has roped in A.R. Rahman for music and Irshad Kamil for lyrics. Apart from Dhanush, the film also stars Kriti Sanon in the lead role and is scheduled for release in 2026.

Now, a leaked image of Dhanush from the movie sets has surfaced on the internet. The photo, posted by an X user, shows the Tamil actor rocking a moustache and short hair.

Meaner Leaner Stronger @dhanushkraja ✈️???? — Anegan Rocky Nanda (@dhanush_nanda) June 6, 2025 Tere Ishk Mein marks Dhanush and Aanand L Rai's third collaboration after Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re. Back in January, trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared a video on Instagram announcing the film. 'Dhanush - Kriti Sanon - Aanand L Rai - Bhushan Kumar - AR Rahman Team Up: ' Tere Ishk Mein ' announced. 28 NOV 2025 release. Aanand L Rai, AR Rahman and Himanshu Sharma - the creators of Raanjhanaa - join hands with producer Bhushan Kumar to bring Tere Ishk Mein,' he captioned the post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taran Adarsh (@taranadarsh) Previously, Aanand L Rai confirmed that Tere Ishk Mein is set in the same world as Raanjhanaa. The director, in a conversation with News18, said, 'In 2011, after Tanu Weds Manu, I was curious to see how a person like me would handle tragedy. When Himanshu (Sharma, the writer) brought the world of Raanjhanaa to me, I was eager to explore a story centred on love and tragedy." He added, ' Tanu Weds Manu was all about fun and games within my middle-class world. Raanjhanaa was a step forward. Twelve years later, this 53-year-old man is keen to see his growth in the tragedy genre. It's a different story now. Whether it's more mature or not is up to the audience and reviewers to decide. I'm excited to dive back into that world and explore relationships from a different perspective." Tere Ishk Mein, written by Himanshu Sharma and Neeraj Yadav, is produced by Aanand L Rai, Bhushan Kumar, Krishna Kumar and Himanshu Sharma.

Nagarjuna Wraps Up Dubbing For Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa
Chennai: The makers of director Sekhar Kammula's highly anticipated pan-Indian movie, Kuberaa, featuring actors Dhanush and Nagarjuna in the lead, have disclosed that actor Nagarjuna has now completed dubbing for his portions in the film. The makers of the film, through the official handle of the film on X, said, "King @iamnagarjuna garu wraps his dubbing for # Kuberaa. Get ready to witness his power-packed presence from June 20th. In cinemas June 20, 2025." KING @iamnagarjuna garu wraps his dubbing for #Kuberaa ✨ Get ready to witness his power-packed presence from June 20th 🔥 In cinemas June 20, 2025. #SekharKammulasKuberaa #KuberaaOn20thJune — Kuberaa Movie (@KuberaaTheMovie) June 7, 2025 The film has triggered huge expectations amongst fans and film buffs. It may be recalled that the makers of the film have already disclosed that actor Dhanush plays a character called Deva in the film. It may be recalled that Dhanush, at the audio launch of Kuberaa, had praised the film's director Sekhar Kammula, calling him 'a pure soul, like a divine angel.' Dhanush also recalled his first scene for the film which he said he shot barefoot and under the scorching Tirupati sun. The actor shot the scene, dressed in rags. The experience, he said, had reminded him of life's essential truths, much like his time filming Raanjhaana in Banaras, amidst funeral pyres. 'Greed, money, worldly pleasures—they're nothing,' the actor had said. 'What matters is a pure soul. Kuberaa will make you realize that. I am 2000% confident about the impact this film will have.' Apart from Nagarjuna and Dhanush, the film will also feature actors Jim Sarbh and Rashmika Mandanna in pivotal roles. The film, which is to hit screens on June 20 this year, is keenly awaited as this is the first time that National-award winning actor Dhanush has joined hands with ace filmmaker Sekhar Kammula. On the technical front, Kuberaa has cinematography by Niketh Bommi. Ramakrishna Sabbani and Monika Nigotre are the production designers of the film. The film has been co-written by Chaithanya Pingali. Costumes for the film have been designed by Kavya Sriram and Poorvaa Jain. Kuberaa is being bankrolled by Suniel Naran and Puskur Ram Mohan Rao under the banner of Sree Venkateswara Cinemas.
