Dhanush (born Prabhu Kastoorirajan on 1984-02-25[1]), is an Indian film actor. His filmography includes Pudhupettai, Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam, and Kadhal Kondein
Early work, 2002 - 2005
Following his uprasing as the son of a noted director, Dhanush debuted under the direction of his father Kasthuri Raja in the Thulluvadho Ilamai with fellow debutant, Sherin. Upon release, the film didn't fetched up big reviews, following the story of his character, Mahesh,[3] and how his friends help him elope with his girlfriend.[3] The film, despite taking a poor opening, went on to gain a cult status, elevating Dhanush's market in Tamil cinema.
Dhanush's breakthrough film was in his brother Selvaraghavan's debut directorial venture, Kadhal Kondein. The film portrayed Dhanush as a mentally-disturbed youth, Vinodh, who yearned for the love of his friend, played by Sonia Agarwal, eventually turning possessive over her. Upon release, the film won critical acclaim and became a commercial success, capitulating Dhanush into the main foray of actors in Tami films.[2][4] Furthermore his next film, release dlater in 2003, Thiruda Thirudi became a blockbuster. Appearing in his first hero-centric film, Dhanush earned rave reviews for his portrayal opposite debutant Chaya Singh.[5] Furthermore, his performance in the song, Manmadha Rasa, was appreciated, subsequently earning the song cult status.
Despite achieving three profitable ventures in his first three films, Dhanush's following films all failed, damaging his status as a lead actor in Tamil films. The first failure was his first action film, Pudhukottaiyilirundhu Saravanan opposite Aparna Pillai, which despite receiving a Telugu dubbing,[6] was lamented by critics as a "poor film".[7] This was followed by Ramana's Sullan, which received negative reviews cliaming that Dhanush could not fit into the mould of an action hero due to his slim physique.[2]Sullan[8] However the film, which had Sindhu Tolani as the lead heroine, was dubbed into Telugu as Maurya.[6] The third and most-criticized failure was Dreams alongside two new heroines.[9] The film directed by his father, like their previous venture was released with reviews claiming it was another adult film.[10] This hampered the film's progress, and the film remains Dhanush's biggest failure til date.
In 2005, Dhanush had two average grossers in Devathaiyai Kanden and the much-hyped Balu Mahendra's Adhu Oru Kana Kaalam. The former was a commercial venture, directed by debutant Boopathy Pandian, which despite receiving average reviews on Dhanush's performance,[11] was dubbed into Telugu.[6] Balu Mahendra's film featured Dhanush opposite Priyamani in an off-beat venture. The film received rave reviews but failed to succeed at the box-office

Family
Dhanush's father is Kasturirajan[24] Dhanush is married to actor Rajinikanth's daughter Aishwarya Rajinikanth, three years younger to him.[1]. They have a son named Yathra.
