Dhanush is said to be playing a Brahmin lad in 'Raanjhnaa' and the latest is that, Dhanush will be putting on weight and developing a paunch for this Aanand L Roy offering.

Dhanush is currently training himself on speaking Hindi with the help of a tutor, the perfectionist in the National Award winning actor who gets into the skin of the character he plays needs no introduction and we're sure he'll pull off a convincing Hindi speaking Brahmin lad.
 
'Raanjhnaa' will be canned in Benaras and the director-actor duo had recently visited the place to get a feel of it. "He was very comfortable interacting with the locals there and also spent good time with 'sadhus' at the 'ghats'. For me it was a homecoming of sorts since I have spent a considerable time up North during my growing up years", says Aanand.
 
They will be visiting Benaras in March again by when an official announcement about the heroine is also expected.
 
Dhanush is currently gearing up for the release of '3' that boasts off 'Why this kolaveri di...' a song that raised him to international status. The Hindi and Telugu dubbed versions of the film will release simultaneously.
