Much like Ajith Kumar and Kamal Haasan, Kara star Dhanush rejects ‘Kalai Asuran’ title for this reason
IT’s non uncommon for superstars in the Tamil take manufacture to be bestowed with titles by fans or their well-wishers in the manufacture. But sir thomas more and more actors seem to be moving away from this practice, with those like Ajith Kumar and Kamal Haasan even issuing statements saying they do not want to be called by their titles. Dhanush, who already rejected a title in 2019, rejected another one during an event for his upcoming film, Kara.Dhanush rejects ‘Kalai Asuran’ titleAt the event, filmmaker KS Ravikumar remarked that, as he had once bestowed the title of Ulaganayagan (universal hero) on Kamal, Ishari K Ganesh of Vels Films International has bestowed the title of Kalai Asuran (powerful and skilled) on Dhanush. He said, “I gave the title to Kamal sir in my film, Ulaganayagan. Similarly, our Ishari sir gave you the title Kalai Asuran. Some people like Ajith sir or Kamal sir, they don’t want titles like that.”He added, “They say, call me Ajith or Mr Kamal. But people in the film industry still call you this. Do you have any objections?” Dhanush replied, “Yes, sir, I don’t want anyone to call me Kalai Asuran.” When Ravikumar asked him if it’s okay to call him Asuran after his hit film, he said, “Yes, it’s our movie. But I will be happy when called Dhanush.” The filmmaker just jokingly hit Dhanush with a flower he picked up from the floor for saying that. The actor laughed and took it in stride. This is not the first time Dhanush has turned down a title. In 2019, when producer Kalaipuli S. Thanu remarked that the actor should be called Ilaya Superstar (young superstar), a derivative of his former father-in-law Rajinikanth’s title Superstar, the actor asked his fans not to give him such titles and to call him only by his name.
