Tamil actor Dhanush is proving his versatility with one cinema after another. Over the years he has proved his talent in many different roles. Now he is ready to reach a very important stage in his career. He has been selected to play two legendary personalities of India in two big biopics. One film is on music legend Ilaiyaraaja, and the other is on former President APJ Abdul Kalam.

The biopic on Ilaiyaraaja has already created huge excitement among fans. The film will show his journey from a simple background to becoming one of the greatest music composers in Indian cinema. Many reports say that the film will focus deeply on his passion, discipline and struggle.

Earlier a different director was expected to handle the project. Now, a new experienced director may take charge. Shooting is expected to begin in the summer of 2027 because Dhanush has many commitments.

A special highlight of this film is that Ilaiyaraaja himself will compose the music. This makes the project even more meaningful. Fans believe that no one else could do justice to the sound of his life story.

The second film is titled Kalam. In this movie, Dhanush will portray the life of Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. The story will begin from his childhood in Rameswaram and move through his education, scientific achievements and journey as President of India. The film will be directed by Om Raut, who is known for handling large-scale stories.
