Dhanush helped me with Tamil lines: Amyra Dastur

Amyra Dastur says her co-star in 'Anegan', Dhanush helped her overcome the fear of the language, which was alien to her.

“When I started shooting, I didn’t know a word of Tamil. I’d fumble with my lines. Dhanush came to my rescue and helped me with my lines,” said Amyra.

‘Issaq’ fame Amyra Dastur, who is making her Tamil debut in forthcoming romantic-drama ‘Anegan’, says her co-star Dhanush helped her overcome the fear of the language, which was alien to her.

“When I started shooting, I didn’t know a word of Tamil. I’d fumble with my lines. Dhanush came to my rescue and helped me with my lines. He’d patiently mouth the words for me to grasp the pronunciation right,” Amyra told IANS.

“He’d tell me it’s perfectly alright if I fumble with my lines because he reminded me that he faced a similar fate in Bollywood. His word motivated me so much,” she said.
