Dhanush thrilled on being compared to Neymar, says won’t act under his wife’s direction

Just a few days after Big B compared him to Brazilian superstar footballer Neymar, Tamilian star Dhanush says it’s thrilling to be compared to him. Dhanush makes his second Bollywood appearance with Amitabh Bachchan in Balki’s Shamitabh and is working pretty hard for it.

The actor whose first Hindi outing Raanjhana took a lot out of him is working hard to get his Hindi right. Talking about his current situation the talented actor said " Raanjhana was a great experience, but the difficult part was speaking in Hindi because I did not know a word of Hindi then. I had to write everything in English with their meanings as well. Then, every night, I would rehearse in front of the mirror in Tamil so that I didn't miss out on what I could originally do. Then, I would repeat the exercise in Hindi before going for shoot the next morning. This happened every day I shot for the film. It was tough. What was tougher was the dubbing. After every two words, they would stop me and I would look at them in bewilderment and then I would realize that I was pronouncing it wrong. But this film (Shamitabh), I am very comfortable. You will realize why soon." The actor looked amazingly confidant. On being asked if he was to act under her wife Aishwarya’s direction, he said "I won't be acting under her direction. However, I will be producing her films." This is the best thing for me to do, he said.
