Dhanush: Why Me In Love Failure Roles?

The Bollywood film Tere Ishk Main, starring Dhanush and Kriti Sanon, is set to release on November 28th.

Directed by Aanand L Rai who earlier made Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re and the film has created strong buzz from the beginning. As the release nears the team is promoting the movie in several cities.

During one promotional event a funny moment between Dhanush and the director went viral. Dhanush said he once asked Aanand L Rai why he often casts him in “love failure” roles.

The director jokingly replied “Because you have the face of a love failure!” Everyone laughed including Dhanush. He added that he later stood in front of the mirror wondering if it was true.
