Rai and Tamil star Dhanush will be back soon. Anand and Dhanush are coming together for the former’s next directorial, said to be an edgy dark romance with plenty of humour. Interestingly, Dhanush’s leading lady in this untitled film would be Sara Ali Khan, who will have a complete image makeover. Sara plays a rustic Bihari girl, and it won’t be about just getting into a saree and indulging in loud behaviour!
Reportedly, Sara will attend acting workshops to get into the skin of her character. She will also be tutored the nuances of Bhojpuri (one of the official languages in Bihar; please note there’s no language called ‘Bihari’) by a voice coach. Well, it seems early in her career Sara has decided to be more adventurous.
