He wasn't the first option for the movie, though. The director of the movie has now spoken out about the same thing.

Director Rai is said to have narrated the role to the actress, who has expressed a strong desire to perform it.

There have been rumors of a possible reunion as Dhanush previously worked with the Russo Brothers on the action movie The Gray Man on Netflix.

Netizens are shocked by Mihika's sudden death, and many have taken to social media to offer their condolences.

Even though Dhanush was well-known in the Tamil film business, the Hindi film audience did not know anything about him at the time. Rai revealed in a recent interview that there was opposition to Dhanush's casting because some thought he was too strange to be a hero.

Recently, Big B shared a poem on his social media handles, thinking it was penned by his father Harivansh Rai Bachchan.
