Dhanush wanted to become a chef by going to hotel management school.

Although he could not attend college, Dhanush pursued distance learning and obtained a bachelor’s degree in computer applications from Madurai Kamaraj University.

Venkatesh Prabhu, better known by his stage name Dhanush, was born to Kasthuri Raja, a popular Tamil film producer. When Dhanush made his debut at the age of 19 in a small film called Thulluvadho Ilamai, no one thought much of it. But after 15 years he has become a National Award winning actor.

The trailer of Dhanush’s Telugu-Tamil bilingual SIR or Vaathi was released recently, where he will be playing the role of a government school teacher named Bala. Asuran, Raanjhanaa and Karnan are some of his standout films. She recently made her acting debut in Hollywood with the film The Gray Man alongside Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans.
