Dhanush is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Kuberaa. While the movie is set to release on June 20, a grand audio launch took place in Chennai this weekend. Dressed in a white dhoti and shirt, Dhanush didn’t mince words when he got up on stage to address the audience.
On the stage, the National Award-winning actor appeared to respond to his critics and online trolls with a pointed message.
In a clip going viral from the event, Dhanush can be heard saying. “You can spread as many rumours as you want about me; spread any negative news about me. Each time a movie of mine releases, there’s a negative campaign against me one-and-a-half months before that. But you won’t be able to do anything as my fans are my strong pillars of support. My fans have been with me for 23 years – they are my friends. If you think you can spread false rumours about me and try to destroy me, there’s no bigger foolishness than that. You can’t even move a brick.”
The star added, “No matter who you are, life turns out based on how you think. What should come to you will come to you and no one can take that away from you. Be happy. Happiness is a choice and it’s inside you. There has been a time when I struggled to get one meal a day and today, I am in a good place. But I am happy in whichever state I am because I’ve never looked for happiness outside. I’ve looked for happiness inside me. There’s nothing more important than peace and happiness in life. In spite of so many years and my ups and downs, you have all been with me throughout my journey and I feel blessed and grateful.”

Dhanush’s speech at the event is being seen as his reply to actress Nayanthara, who had accused him of harbouring a personal grudge against her and her husband, filmmaker Vignesh Shivan. Her remarks came after Dhanush refused a NOC to use elements from their 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan in the Netflix documentary Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairy Tale.
Kuberaa also features Nagarjuna, Rashmika Mandanna, and Sayaji Shinde, and has music by Devi Sri Prasad. The film is directed by Sekhar Kammula.
