Dhanush’s Polladhavan is creating ripples in the trade and has predictably emerged the dark horse of Deepavali releases. Word of mouth is spreading fast, which has increased expectations across foreign countries where it is to be released a week later.

The reasons for the delay is not known but this has come as a blessing in disguise as the reviews of the movie have only increased the curiosity among audiences.

Dhanush, meanwhile, is being showered with accolades from all corners, the latest one coming from the Telugu super star Chiranjeevi, who called the actor after seeing the movie and praised his performance.

Dhanush is currently shooting for Yaaradi Nee Mohini with Nayantara in Tirunelveli and has been signed by Kattradhu Tamil director Ram for his next venture titled Saddam Hussein. The hunt for the heroine is on. However, sources say that Dhanush on reading the script has suggested that Bhavana would be appropriate for the role.
