Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, the Raanjhanaa actor said that he hopes to co-star in a film with Rajinikanth. "I hope it happens someday but so many things have to fall in place for that.

Recently, during the promotion of the Ken Scott-directed film, Dhanush also revealed that he has signed his next Bollywood film with Aanand L Rai, who also directed him in his Bollywood debut film Raanjhanaa.
