"Does one have to live in the streets just because they came from the street?", Dhanush's speech at 'Raayan' audio launch gains attention

Dhanush's speech during the audio launch of his new film 'Raayan' is gaining attention on social media. The actor's speech comes in the context of Dhanush's purchase of a house in Chennai's Poes Garden, where only the VVIPs of film and politics, including Rajnikanth and Jayalalitha own houses.

'Does one have to live in the streets just because they came from the street? Poes Garden and I have a connection. Everyone knows whose fan I am. I was 16 years old then. One day I went to see the Thalaivar's house with my friend in a small bike. When I turned the bike to come back happy after seeing Thalaivar's house, a group was in front of the house next door. When I inquired, I found out that it was Jayalalitha's house. I stopped the bike and got down for a second.

I decided to buy at least a small house in Poes Garden seeing Rajni sir's house on one side and Jayalalitha's house on the other. At that time we were in great trouble. A lot of problems. If the movie 'Tulluvatho Ilamai' had not been hit at that time, we would have had to stand in the middle of the street. Poes Garden house is a gift given to Dhanush who has struggled for 20 years. We just need to know who we are. I know who I am. Lord Shiva knows. My father and mother know. My children also know', Dhanush said.
