Dhanush debuted in Bollywood last year with his outstanding performance in Aanand L Rai's Raanjhanaa. We all know that Aanand and he are like family, so much so that Dhanush also rented out a place in the same building where Aanand lives and continues to look up to him as a mentor. The fact is that the reports claiming that Aanand does not have rights to make the sequel of Tanu Weds Manu are false and the film is very much on track. Aanand starts shooting the film in September in Lucknow. While the sequel has R Madhavan and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles, we have learnt that Dhanush will be doing a cameo in the film. For Aanand, having Dhanush in the film, in whatever capacity, is more a personal than a professional need, as he is deeply attached to him. While the exact details of the same are still being finalised, Dhanush could either be doing a cameo or a performance in a song or who knows, even sing and dance to a song.
