Dhanush has embraced multiple roles in the film industry as an actor, filmmaker, producer, lyricist, and singer. However, cinema wasn’t his initial passion.

Originally, Dhanush aspired to become a chef. In an interview, he expressed that cooking was a sublime art form.

Recounting a moment from his past, the Asuran (2019)-fame shared how he once prepared a dish for his father, who thoroughly enjoyed it. His father’s request for more dishes each day deeply inspired him. Dhanush added that seeing the joy on his father’s face motivated him to pursue a career as a chef.
