National Award winning actor Dhanush, who is married to Southern cinema icon Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwarya R. Dhanush, is known to be a family man. But of late, there have been persistent rumours of a growing romance between Dhanush and his Anegan co-star Amyra Dastur.

Buzz is, the 31-year-old star is 'more than friends' with Amyra who made her debut opposite Prateik Babbar in Issaq. After that she moved down South to film Anegan.

Dhanush and she have been shooting together in Chennai for over a year now and have also travelled to Vietnam, Cambodia and Bolivia in the course of the film's making.

The reel-life love story, co-starring Karthik, is finally complete and targetting a Valentine's Day release.

When Mirror contacted her, Amyra laughed off the gossip saying, "Dhanush is more than friends with just his wife. We are work buddies and nothing else. He and I joke around a lot and have a bet on whose film will fare better."

Dhanush's Shamitabh is opening on February 6 and Amyra's Mr X, which was also supposed to open on V-day has been pushed to April.

According to the grapevine, Aishwarya got wind of the romance and confronted her husband and Amyra on the sets of Anegan in October, 2014. The 21-year-old actress retorts, "Nonsense! There were no tantrums or fights on the sets at all."

Amyra reveals that she is in a long-term relationship. "I am happily committed to a man who hates Bollywood. I have no issues talking about my relationship, but he will not like it." she says.
