Dhanush said on Koffee with Karan that he was “a little disturbed” when he found out Sara Ali Khan had been cast in Atrangi Re because he didn’t think she could do the role justice. In reality, he expressed his worries to filmmaker Aanand L Rai.

“To be honest, he was a little scared,” Dhanush said to Karan Johar, the show’s presenter. It’s a significant role with a challenging character to perform. ‘How many movies has she been in?’ He had a query for Aanand ji. At the time, he informed me about two or three films. “Will she be able to do it?” He was befuddled.

Aanand, on either hand, convinced Dhanush that Sara was the perfect fit for the role of Rinku Sooryavanshi. “Anand Ji kept repeating to me, ‘There may be something We require, and he can see it in her.'” Indeed, he can see it in her. He has no idea how he does it. He brought me here for whatever purpose to conduct Raanjhanaa. He was positive that this would be the performer he wanted for the film. So he must’ve picked up on everything in her,” he stated.

Dhanush describes Sara as “an actress who has so much to learn” but also “a fantastic drive to study and work really hard.” “I feel that if that is present, everything is conceivable,” he said.

Sara made her acting debut in 2018 with Kedarnath. Since then, she has appeared in films like Simmba, Love Aaj Kal, and Coolie No 1. Atrangi Re is the title of her sixth studio album. She will soon be seen in Laxman Utekar’s film alongside Vicky Kaushal.

On December 24, Atrangi Re, which also stars Akshay Kumar in a significant part, will be released as a direct-to-digital release on Disney+ Hotstar.
