Kollywood star Dhanush is gearing up for the promotion of his much-hyped movie Kubera, helmed by award-winning Telugu director Sekhar Kammula. The pan-Indian film also features veteran Tollywood actor Akkineni Nagarjuna in a significant role, is gearing up for a worldwide theatrical release on June 20, 2025. With only a few weeks left to go, the promotional drive is already in full swing, and a grand audio launch function was held recently in Chennai.
During the function, Dhanush delivered an emotional yet powerful speech that soon became the buzz of the town. Without referring to anyone by their name, the actor discussed the wave of negativity and personal insults he is subjected to quite frequently, especially before his films’ release.
“I pour my soul into every project I take up. Yet, like clockwork, there’s always some controversy created just before my films hit the screens,” Dhanush said, expressing clear frustration. “Every other day, before each release, individuals try to stir up drama, propagate false information, and bring my name into unnecessary controversy.”
Dhanush’s words rang true with his fans, particularly when he talked about the kind of unconditional support he gets from them. “The individuals sitting here today are not merely fans.” You are my family — the same people who have walked with me through this journey for over 23 years. No matter how much negativity is thrown at me, I know you’ll always stand by my side,” he said, his voice filled with emotion.
He also left a personal note on happiness and inner peace, encouraging fans to look for happiness inside themselves and not outside. “Happiness doesn’t come from the outside world — it starts within us. Do whatever makes you happy. For me, it’s as simple as eating a good meal,” he said with a grin.
After his strong speech, the fans flooded social media with support and speculations about to whom Dhanush was speaking. His words have caused widespread debate on the internet, with many asking themselves if there is some sort of targeted campaign being waged against him.
As Kubera gears up for its big release, all eyes are not only on the film but also on the drama surrounding its lead star. One thing is clear — Dhanush isn’t letting the negativity get to him. With his fans firmly behind him and his focus sharp as ever, the actor is moving forward with confidence and strength.
