With Kara set to release on April 30, Dhanush has heaped praise on director Vignesh Raja, calling him a “genius.”
In a rare pre-release post on X, Dhanush wrote, “Vignesh Raja - You Genius. Thank you for Kara,” a gesture that has caught attention given how seldom the actor shares such endorsements. The filmmaker responded by thanking Dhanush for his support.
VIGNESH RAJA - YOU GENIUS
