Aishwarya R. Dhanush

“People have been asking me when I'll make films with Dhanush and my father. Honestly, I don't know when.”

“As a newcomer, I am eager to try every genre of film making.”

“Well, I'm comfortable in all kinds of clothes - Indian, Western, casual, formal. I shop for them wherever I go.”

“The problem in South is we don't have access to much of Hindi cinema.”

“The idea of being able to provide a wellness haven for divas, where they can get stronger physically and feel more complete and powerful in their own right was an instant connection for me.”

“When you have a lot of people playing different characters, you need to do justice to every character and bring meaning to their presence in the script.”

“I miss my dancing.”

“Since Dhanush is the protagonist of my first film, he proved to be my lucky charm.”

“I intend to bring forth the hardships and uncertainty stuntmen face. India does not have adequate infrastructure or safety guidelines to protect them, and their work often goes unnoticed.”

“Dhanush has been a fan of my father since his childhood. They share mutual respect for each other. Also, the fact that Dhanush made it big on his own and not because he is someone's son-in-law is something my father deeply admires.”

“After '3' I wanted to do something different.”

“If it was bi-polar disorder in '3,' I have delved into intuitions in 'Vai Raja Vai.'”

“When my friends asked me to blog, I thought why not write a book? People may be interested in knowing what it would take to be Rajini's daughter.”

“I prefer to be the captain of the ship, call the shots and be more creative.”

“Neither Dhanush nor I have been interested in using Appa's name ever. We have been married for eight years and I don't think you'd have ever seen Appa at any of Dhanush's audio release functions or movie success functions.”

“Soundarya's kind of direction is animation. She's not into feature films, whereas I am.”

“I feel making a commercial movie is much more challenging because there's so much you have to achieve within a certain period of time and budget.”

“Personally, I like narrating stories that revolve around something new. I'd find it very boring otherwise.”

“Being an actress is a hard job. There is this pressure of looking good all the time.”

“There is no norm that a woman must write a certain kind of script.”
