Dushara Vijayan's look from Dhanush's 'Raayan' revealed

CHENNAI: The makers of the actor-director Dhanush's upcoming directorial 'Raayan' on Saturday announced that 'Natchathiram Nagargiradhu' fame Dushara Vijayan would be part of the film.

A few months ago we broke the news exclusively that Dushara would be playing Dhanush's sister in Raayan.

The actor took to her official X handle and made the announcement with a Black/White poster, where she is seen sitting on the roof of a building with what is likely to be Ennore Thermal Power Station in the background.

Dushara wrote that being part of the film is a "goal come true moment" for her and a "heartfelt gift to her younger self who never stopped believing"

Dushara felt gratitude towards the Oscar award-winning composer AR Rahman and actor-director Dhanush, who is helming his second directorial venture 'Raayan' after the much-appreciated 'Pa Paandi'.

"@dhanushkraja sir has been one of my greatest inspirations to pursue acting as a career. Seeing him perform on screen to sharing screen with the added bonus of working under his direction feels surreal. @arrahman sirrr, waking up to your music every day and one morning, I woke up to find myself a part of a film featuring your music. @arrahman sirrr, waking up to your music every day and one morning, I woke up to find myself a part of a film featuring your music," she wrote.
