Will Selvaraghavan rescue Dhanush?

Dhanush's big brother Selvaraghavan made him what he is today. Dhanush's first film, Thulluvatho Ilamai, directed by his brother (though the credit has been given to their father Kasturirajan) was a huge hit. It was followed by Kaadal Kondein which made Dhanush a sensation all over Tamil Nadu.

He became such a craze that his fans threw him in the air once to show their love and broke his arm!

His next film, Thiruda Thirudi, especially the song Manmada Rasa, created hysteria among youngsters. It appeared Dhanush, a thin, lean and not very pleasant looking fellow will be the next Rajnikanth. But it was not to be. All his films that came later were meaningless, and bombed at the box-office.

Meanwhile, Selvaraghavan made 7 G Rainbow Colony with newcomer Ravi Krishna, in both Tamil and Telugu. The film was a hit in both languages. Selvaraghavan's heroes are not supermen; they are as ordinary as the man on the street. No wonder audiences identified with his heroes. Dhanush made a mistake when he tried to be superman in his films.

It seemed that only his big brother could rescue Dhanush's career. Selvaraghavan, who was to shoot Oru Naal Oru Kanavu entirely in Mauritius, is getting ready to make a film titled Puduppettai in Tamil Nadu. Selvaraghavan's two favourites are associated with this film too -- cinematographer Aravind Krishna and music director Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Will he lift his kid brother's sagging career?
