Dhanush bagged his second National award for Best actor for Asuran. Behindwoods caught up with his parents on the experience and this is what they had to say.
“I read in the papers that about 4 pm, the awards would be announced. By 3 pm, I was ready in front of the television. My daughter was the one who spotted it first and started whopping in joy,” began Kasthuri Raja. Dhanush’s mom said she also exclaimed in delight and said he has won big.
“We did have expectations. Even the public had. It’s a miracle that he has bagged his second National award. All thanks to Vetrimaaran and Thanu sir,” said Kasthuri Raja. He added, “The scene where he falls at the feet of people to save his son. Bringing out the emotions of the father, it was very well done.”
Dhanush’s mom pitched in and said, “It was difficult to see scenes where he loses his eldest son in the movie and the song that follows. We spoke to him over the phone. The time difference is huge. Whatever he could acknowledge and speak in his half-sleep, he did.”
