Rege Jean-Page of Bridgerton fame and Jessica Henwick, who are a part of ensemble cast of The Gray Man, are in awe of Dhanush. In a recent interview, Page praised Dhanush lavishly, and Jessica gushed about his “quiet power” and how she “wants” that kind of magnetism.
Page said, “The grace and style and badassery of that man, is something to be behold and that’s going to be a thunderbolt in the film. If Batman was twice as badass, then he might get halfway to where Dhanush is in in this film.” Jessica chimed in, “Dhanush was amazing. He has quiet power and I want that.”
Dhanush has received nothing but glowing feedback from the Gray Man cast. Ryan Gosling described him as “incredible” and claimed that he was inhumanly mistake-free in a previous interview with The Quint. “He is a great actor and has such an amazing presence on screen. He is so precise, he never made a mistake. We shot this fight sequence and we reshot it multiple times. It underwent so many different incarnations. Dhanush never made a mistake, and it seemed inhuman. He is so funny and charming. The biggest difficulty was pretending to be enemies, because I just liked him so much,” he said.
Dhanush was questioned about how he got the project and whether he knew the Russo Brothers before this during a press conference. Dhanush replied, “I don’t know how I ended up in this film.” He added, “The casting agency in India told me that they have a Hollywood project for me. They said it is a big film. So I said okay. I asked which film, what film? They said it is a big film. So I said alright, and it can’t get bigger than this.”
With Ryan Gosling playing a CIA agent who is on the run and Chris Evan’s Loyd Hansel keen to get him, the Russo Brothers-directorial The Gray Man looks like an exciting cat-and-mouse chase.
