Dhanush has announced his directorial debut Power Paandi and released its first poster.

Actor Chaya Singh, who plays an important role in Dhanush’s upcoming Tamil directorial debut “Power Paandi”, says that as a director, he knows what he wants and how to extract it from his actors.

“When an actor dons a director’s hat, he knows exactly what he wants from his actors, and it applies to Dhanush too. It never felt like I was working with a first-time director. With his child-like enthusiasm, Dhanush makes working so much fun,” Chaya told IANS.
