Rajinikanth son in law status did not help my career - Dhanush

 Dhanush on the eve of ` Maaran' release on OTT, has been quoted  saying that being son in law of Rajinikanth gave him an elevated status but career wise it was his brother ( director Selvaraghavan) and father Kasthoori Raja ( director- producer) who helped him in his career. On personal front, Dhanush and Aishwarya have worked a way to look after the kids. An unconfirmed report from Hyderabad says that Aishwarya Rajinikanth has got an okay to direct a film with mature romantic love subject that she has prepared and common friends have put across the idea to STR aka Simbu about him acting in it.

The Aishwarya- Simbu combo on face value may look a speculation but it is not that cannot take place, says a source in STR camp.  He points out that STR and Hansika were madly in love and when they broke up, the film that they were acting together ran in trouble as STR avoided acting with her. Now a matured and professional STR did an extended cameo for woman centric film Maya with Hansika in the lead. So it cannot be ruled out if STR says yes to ex GF Aishwarya , hopes the Simbu pal.

Dhanush answering Q&A with fans said that it was his brother and father who helped him career wise and not being a son in law of Rajinikanth. Trade sources say that Tamil film industry big wigs are not so receptive as before and Dhanush feels that indirectly it could be his pa in law's larger than life image that is playing out. Dhanush has signaled his distance from Rajinikanth to his fans and that of Thalaivar. A tweet from past  by Dhanush - “To win a national award for best actor on the same stage where my Thalaivar was winning the prestigious Dada Saheb Phalke award was just indescribable

On the domestic front, the kids will be with Aishwarya. Whenever Dhanush is free, kids would be with him. When Aishwarya took ill in Hyderabad, kids were with Dhanush who was shooting in Ooty. A legal separation is not on the cards as division of properties to custody of kids would have to be trashed out. Instead, a mutually agreed agreement has been arrived said a source close to Dhanush family.  Dhanush is acting in a film directed by his brother Selvarghavan.
