Dhanush‘s 2012 psychological romantic film, ‘3‘, directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, continues to mesmerize audiences even a decade after its initial release. Regarded as one of the actor’s finest works, the film gained further attention with its recent re-release in several theatres across Chennai, prompting an overwhelmingly positive response from fans. Reports flooded in with sold-out shows, affirming the enduring appeal of this cinematic gem.

Notably, a video surfaced earlier in November showcasing enthusiastic fans grooving to Anirudh Ravichander’s debut song, “Why This Kolaveri.” The palpable excitement surrounding the re-release prompted the Asuran actor, Dhanush, to take to social media and share his heartfelt reaction to the audience’s passionate response.

‘3’ was not only a cinematic masterpiece but also a launchpad for multiple debuts. Anirudh Ravichander’s entry into the film industry via his music in this movie remains iconic. Moreover, it marked Aishwarya Rajinikanth’s directorial debut and Dhanush’s maiden venture as a producer. The film boasted an ensemble cast, including Shruti Haasan, Prabhu, Bhanupriya, and Sivakarthikeyan, among others, in pivotal roles, enriching the narrative canvas. The stellar visual appeal was crafted by cinematographer Velraj, while the editing finesse came from Kola Bhaskar.

The poignant storyline of ‘3’ revolves around Ram and Janani, high school sweethearts whose marriage encounters tragic twists when Ram’s sudden demise by suicide leaves Janani on a quest to decipher the reason behind his drastic decision. Upon its original release, the film received widespread critical acclaim for its performances, music, and cinematography, resonating deeply with audiences.

On the professional front, Dhanush is gearing up for the period action film ‘Captain Miller,’ helmed by Arun Matheswaran. This ambitious project, also starring Shiva Rajkumar, Priyanka Mohan, Sundeep Kishan, and Vinoth Kishan, is set to hit the silver screens in January 2024, intriguing audiences with its unique narrative split into three parts.

In addition to ‘Captain Miller,’ the actor’s plate is brimming with another exciting venture tentatively titled ‘D50,’ marking his 50th milestone in the industry. This project holds special significance as it not only showcases Dhanush’s acting prowess but also positions him as the director, marking his second directorial endeavor after ‘Jagame Thanthiram.’

The enduring legacy of ‘3’ combined with Dhanush’s versatile upcoming projects underscores the actor’s continual evolution and enduring impact on the vibrant landscape of Tamil cinema.
