Actor Dhanush, who attended the audio launch event of his much-awaited film Kuberaa in Chennai on Sunday (June 1), got emotional as he spoke about those who try to spread rumours about him with an aim to sabotage his career. Several pictures and videos of the actor from the event have been doing the rounds on social media.
In one of the videos, Dhanush is seen getting emotional while delivering an emotional speech.
He said, "When I am searching for a path in darkness, a hand from above holds my hand and leads me. At that point, each of my fans turns into a torch and lights my way. Spread as many rumours as you want about me. Spread whatever negativity you want. Everytime, one-and-a-half months before my film releases, initiate a negative campaign and spread it. That invisible hand and my fans who turn into a torch will make me march on," he said to a thundering applause from fans.
The actor further said, "All those who are here are not just my fans but my companions of 23 years. If you thought that you could spread some rumours and end me, there can be nothing more foolish than that. You cannot even move a brick. Your thoughts decide how you live."
An X (formerly known as Twitter) user shared a video of Dhanush from the event and wrote, "For exactly 2min 30 seconds, the fans kept shouting and didn’t let Dhanush speak & he was emotional & cry...... 🥹🫶 Always love u @dhanushkraja Thalaivaa (sic)."
