Dhanush reveals he was worried about Sara Ali Khan playing a difficult character in Atrangi Re

After Kedarnath, Love Aaj Kal, Simmba and Coolie No. 1, actor Sara Ali Khan is now gearing up for Atrangi Re. She essays the role of a free-spirited girl yet the one who has a lot of complexities in herself. However, the glimpses of Sara’s character Rinku that we have seen in the trailer has left everyone a little intrigued and fans are a little curious to know how she is going to perform in this upcoming film. Nevertheless, Dhanush recently revealed that he had apprehensions about Sara playing a difficult character in Atrangi Re.

During his appearance in Karan Johar’s Koffee Shots with Karan, Dhanush said, “To be very honest, I was a little worried. It’s such a big role and a very difficult character to play. I asked Aanand ji, ‘How many films has she done?’ He told me 2 or 3 films, at that point of time. I was like, ‘Can she pull it off?’” However, Aanand convinced Dhanush him about Sara playing the role of Rinku Sooryavanshi.

“Aanand ji kept telling me, ‘There is something I need and I see it in her.’ And he does. I don’t know how he cracks that. For some reason, out of nowhere, he brought me here to do Raanjhanaa. He had the conviction that this is my actor for the film. So, he must have seen something in her,” he said.

Dhanush said that in Sara, he saw ‘an actor who has so much to learn’ but also someone who ‘has an amazing appetite to learn and work hard’. “If that is there, I think anything is achievable,” he said.
