Dhanush's Hollywood debut receives appreciation from Anand Mahindra
Anand Mahindra recently shared how the Kolaveri D singer's fight sequences in the film will help in 'elevating all fight sequences in Indian cinema.' The businessman shared a video of Dhanush from the film where he can be seen indulging in a fight sequence with other co-stars Chris Evans and Ana de Armas, which was earlier dropped by the film's creators, the Russo Brothers.
While sharing his thoughts on the actor's stupendous action stunts, Anand wrote, "Kudos to the producers for this inspired casting. Never envisioned Dhanush as an intimidating, compact killing machine. I suspect his style will elevate all fight sequences in Indian cinema…”
On Thursday, during a virtual conference, the actor revealed the struggles and challenges that he underwent while shooting for the Hollywood project. While sharing how he had injured himself shooting for action sequences, the actor said, "It’s funny. Just one week before the shoot, I sprained my neck. So, a month and a half were spent training, and then one week before we start filming, I sprained it and was like ‘What am I going to do?!’ The physio had just a week’s time to get me ready to match Ana’s speed [laughs]. But somehow, they found a way to make me fit for the stunt sequence."
Meanwhile, Directed by the Russo brothers, The Gray Man will have a limited release in the US and India on July 15, followed by a worldwide premiere on Netflix on July 22. Based on the novel The Gray Man, the film features Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Dhanush, Jessica Henwick, Wagner Moura, and Billy Bob Thornton in pivotal roles.
