Vignesh Shivan used to share good bonhomie with Dhanush but everything changed after his marriage with Nayanthara and following the controversy centred around a three-second clip from Nayanthara's 2015 film Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, which was featured in the trailer of her Netflix documentary.
Now, Vignesh Shivan said “I like Dhanush sir a lot. His birthday is on July 28… and on that same day, my father passed away. I feel a fatherly presence in him, I identify him that way. My biggest loss is losing that relationship. That is also something I feel ashamed about. There must have been a mistake somewhere at some point. For the life I’m living now, Dhanush sir is a very important person to me.”
He added, “I was with him for two years during the VIP shoot. I used to eat only after he ate. Sometimes, we don’t even understand the situation when something happens between people.”
