National Film Award-winning actor Dhanush currently has multiple projects at various stages of development, one of them being the Hollywood biggie The Gray Man. Helmed by the Russo Brothers, the upcoming film marks Dhanush’s debut in Hollywood.
Releasing first in theatres before landing on Netflix, the actioner has several high-profile actors on its cast, including Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Rege-Jean Page, Billy Bob Thorton, and Dhanush.
Recently, the Russo Brothers were present at Netflix’s Geeked Week event where they talked about their upcoming film. They heaped praises on their main leads, Gosling and Evans, and also said some great things about Dhanush.
As Anthony listed the names of the actors, Joe reminded him that he is forgetting Dhanush, saying, “There’s also Dhanush.”
Anthony then nodded and went on to add, “The cast is dynamite in this movie. And there’s a lot of places to go other than those two guys up front.”
When asked if it was Dhanush’s foray into Hollywood, Joe said, “Yes, this is Dhanush’s first Hollywood film. He’s fantastic.”
The official synopsis of this Russo brother's directorial reads, "THE GRAY MAN is CIA operative Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), aka, Sierra Six. Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly-skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it.”
The Gray Man will have a limited theatrical release on July 15 before its Netflix premiere on July 22.

R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
