Dhanush celebrates human connections in cinema
Speaking at the event, Dhanush said that in an environment where the very existence of a film in theaters has become a question mark, it is a false belief that action films featuring blood, knives, and helicopters will attract people. He emphasized that 'Kuberaa' has proven that even a film with human emotions can bring people to the theater.
Dhanush said, 'There is nothing greater than human emotions,' and added that the experience provided by this film will be an inspiration to the new generation of directors.

Dhanush also recalled the recent Tamil film 'Tourist Family', saying that the film, which spoke to the feelings of ordinary people, was also well received and attracted audiences to the theaters.
Dhanush emphasized his point, saying, "We should not think that big budgets, superheroes, and graphics are the only things that will attract people from now on."
Dhanush's tribute to family, producer, and the magic of movies
As Dhanush concluded his speech, he recalled his parents' words. "My mother used to say that when you win, you should talk less. My father used to say that you should count your blessings. An actor can only feel true success when he sees the smile on his producer's face," said Dhanush, adding that he felt true success when he saw the happiness of the producer of 'Kuberaa'. His words had a huge impact on the fans, and they say that 'Kubera' will be remembered not only as a good film, but also as a film that shared good feelings.

‘I've ticked the box': Kriti Sanon on working with Dhanush & Aanand L Rai in 'Tere Ishk Mein'
Mumbai witnessed a wave of nostalgia and celebration as Kriti Sanon and Dhanush starrer Raanjhanaa (2013) completed 12 years. The event was celebrated with a special screening for fans. The event saw the presence of the film's team – Dhanush, Director Aanand L Rai, writer Himanshu Sharma, lyricist Irshad Kamil, actor Mohd Zeeshan Ayyub and Naman Jain. The evening was filled with laughter, memories, and heartfelt tributes. But the true surprise that set fans' hearts racing was the unexpected entry of Kriti Sanon, who will be seen opposite Dhanush in Aanand L Rai's next love story, Tere Ishk spontaneous presence created a moment of magic that fans won't forget anytime soon. Coming off a dream hat-trick – from Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya to The Crew to her double role in Do Patti – Kriti is having a dream run with an array of new genres. Aanand L Rai's world of soulful romance adds another meaningful chapter to Kriti's impressive filmy career. Kriti, in her most candid self, took to the mic and said, 'I should be sitting with the fans there. I have had the pleasure of working with all these people. We have not had a scene. And I was not supposed to say that!' The audience erupted in laughter, and she continued, 'I am so, so glad to be a part of Tere Ishk Mein. I am assuming all of you know (that we are doing this film).' As fans cheered in response, Kriti added, 'It is coming this year. I am a huge fan of Raanjhanaa and all the artists involved in this film. Aanand sir ke toh main peeche hi padi thi ki 'Aap kab love story bana rahe ho?' I am happy that I have ticked the box of being directed by Aanand L Rai in a love story.'Talking about her co-star Dhanush, Kriti said, 'I have always been a huge fan of Dhanush. It's been a pleasure working with you. We still have some more days to go. So, I am looking forward to those few days that we have together on screen. If you all have loved Raanjhanaa so much that even after 12 years, you are here, and if you love stories, hopefully you will enjoy Tere Ishk Mein. And hopefully, I will see you all in November end during a fan screening of this sort.'.While Tere Ishk Mein has been in the making for a while, insiders describe it as a marathon journey for Kriti, both emotionally and physically. The role demanded that she dig deep, explore new shades of vulnerability and break free from what audiences have seen of her acing futuristic romance, edgy comedies and intense thrillers, Kriti now finds herself in the soulful universe of Aanand L Rai – something she's long dreamed of. With fans already creating buzz and speculating about the film's plot, and Kriti confirming a year-end release, Tere Ishk Mein is one of the most awaited love stories of the year.
