So involving such deeply into the character—there’s no one apart from Dhanush who could’ve done it.”
The megastar didn’t stop there. Speaking straight from the heart, Chiranjeevi said Dhanush deserves the Best Actor award for Kuberaa. He added, “I’m wishing you in advance ‘Congrats’. You should definitely get Best Actor award. If you’ll not get it, then there’ll be no meaning left to the National Awards. It’s normal for you to win Best Actor, but if you get it for this film, it’s a proud moment for all of us.”
