Actor Dhanush and director Aanand L. Rai are reportedly in talks to team up for their fourth Hindi film together, continuing one of Bollywood’s most successful actor-director partnerships.
A Proven Track Record
The Dhanush and Aanand L Rai combination has delivered powerful romantic dramas over the past decade. Their journey began with Raanjhanaa (2013), which was a box office hit and earned praise for Dhanush’s performance and AR Rahman’s music. They reunited for Atrangi Re (2021), an OTT release that received mixed reviews.
Most recently, Tere Ishk Mein (2025) became a commercial success, collecting over ₹150 Cr gross worldwide despite mixed audience responses. The film also achieved massive viewership on Netflix, cementing the duo’s box office pull.
What’s Next for the Duo?
According to reports, the upcoming project will be a grand period love story. Kriti Sanon, who starred in Tere Ishk Mein, is said to be pairing up with Dhanush again, marking their second collaboration with Aanand L Rai.
While none of their films have received unanimous critical acclaim, the commercial success of their partnership—especially the recent box office performance of Tere Ishk Mein—makes this fourth collaboration a promising prospect for Hindi cinema audiences.
