一 | Actor Dhanush took fans down memory lane on Monday after he posted a set of emotional photos from Varanasi, the city where his hit film Raanjhanaa was shot. He shared new pictures on social media showing him walking on the ghats of Varanasi and enjoying a cup of chai with director Aanand L Rai. The actor looked deeply nostalgic as he reflected on his journey from Raanjhanaa to his upcoming film Tere Ishq Mein, which marks his third collaboration with the filmmaker. He shared how returning to the same streets after more than ten years felt like reliving a character who still lives in the hearts of the people.
In his heartfelt post, he wrote, “A walk through the memory lane Where it all started. KUNDAN. A character that refuses to let go of me, even after more than a decade. The Name Kundan still echoes in the narrow lanes of banaras as people call out to me and I still turn and smile. Now walking through the same lanes , sitting in front of the same house , sipping chai from the same tea shop , and walking by the shores of the holy Ganges, with the man who gave me Kundan , feels like a full circle. Now it’s time for Shankar.” The actor also added, “Tere ishk mein … FROM TOM. Har Har Mahadev.”
