Tamil actor Dhanush has polarised the internet with his speech at the audio launch of his upcoming movie 'Raayan'. For the unversed, at the event, Dhanush referred himself as an "outsider". He also shared a story about how he worked hard to buy a house at Poes Garden. However, this comment has not gone down well the internet, and the netizens are now reminding him that he hails from a film family. Dhanush also claimed at the event that there was a lot of chatter after he ended up buying a house at Poes Garden, which is known for housing Rajinikanth and the late Jayalalitha.
"If I knew buying a house in Poes Garden would have become such a big topic of conversation, I would have simply got a small apartment. Should I not buy a house in Poes Garden? If I live on the street, should I stay there only?" said Dhanush.
"We were told, this is Jayalalithaa’s house. I stopped the bike and looked — on one side, there is Rajini sir’s house, on the other is Jayalalithaa Amma’s house. I thought to myself that one day, somehow, I want to buy at least a small house in a posh locality like Poes Garden. The Poes Garden house today is a gift to the 16-year-old Venkatesh Prabhu (his birth name)," he added.

This comment is not going down well with the internet, and netizens have a lot to say.
Here are some of the comments:
“Its funny when a Nepo Kid like #Dhanush is talking about starting from a scratch.. Like, damm your family has a cinema background and you access it easily with no talents at all during your first few movies.. And you talk about being in streets? Do you know what is streets?” asked one user.
Another user said, "What is this new level of idiocy from Dhanush? Why do these actors act as if they are something out of the ordinary? Wearing a simple dress and a Rudraksha doesn't mean someone is simple and humble. The mindset is what matters! He is just aping his ex-father-in-law with these stories. It's so similar to the Fiat story of Rajini.”
"The Most irritating part for me in Audio launch more than dhanush speech that his kids have been given center stage and the artist and technician of the movie are sidelined. Well he is a Nepo so he works in this way,” wrote one user.
Speaking of Dhanush's 'Raayan', the new Tamil film is slated to release in cinemas this Friday. The film also stars Sundeep Kishan, Kalidas Jayaram, SJ Suryah, Selvaraghavan, Prakash Raj, Dushara Vijayan, Aparna Balamurali and Varalaxmi Sarathkumar.
He will also be seen in Sekhar Kammula’s 'Kubera', alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh and Nagarjuna.
