Dhanush, whose composition Kolaveri di became a worldwide sensation, is busy making his Bollywood debut opposite Sonam Kapoor in Raanjhnaa directed by Anand Rai.
However, the actor has injured his shoulder during the filming of an action sequence of a Telugu film that he shot just before Raanjhnaa. He has been strictly prohibited from any strenuous activity.
The injury has led to an entire song-and-dance sequence featuring Dhanush to be postponed. Said a source, “Shooting outdoors in Varanasi has never been easy for directors. It is a volatile location as the crowd tends to get excited watching stars shoot. Director Anand Rai was hoping to finish shooting as planned. But then Dhanush’s shoulder injury has prevented the actor from participating in the dance sequence. Anand will return to Varanasi after the actor recovers.”
Confirming the news, the director said, Dhanush has been asked to keep away from stunts and dances, so we’ll return to Varanasi to shoot the song in December.”
