Earlier there were talks that Shahid Kapoor was to do this film but now this will be Tamil actor Dhanush's first Bollywood film. On finalizing Dhanush for the role, Aanand L. Rai says, "For the past six months, I've been looking for a simple boy to play the lead in Raanjhnaa. My requirement was a man who could look vulnerable on screen. When I saw Dhanush in the Tamil film Aadukalam (for which he won the National Award), I liked him immediately. He looks very ordinary and honest, and that was the demand of the character."
Apparently, Dhanush is not well versed with Hindi, but he is keen to explore this part of the industry and learn the local language and culture.
When quizzed about the movie, the director adds, "The film is an intense love story. Just like my film Tanu Weds Manu, the film and its characters will take you to Delhi, Punjab, Chennai, etc."
Dhanush too is very excited about the project. News is that the director had approached him for the movie before Kolaveri Di happened. "It's a big deal to get a launch like this at the beginning of my career here. Aanand's script is different from regular cinema; it's one of those 'made to make a difference' kind of films", quips the actor.
