At a press conference for upcoming film 'Tere Ishk Mein', Dhanush spoke about why he was drawn to aggressive roles like 'Kundan' from 'Raanjhanaa' and now 'Shankar'. "[Director Aanand L Rai] calls me for these kinds of films. I asked him, 'Why you keep calling me?'," Dhanush said. Kriti Sanon, jokingly interjected, "You have the face of a heartbroken man."
