Dhanush’s won the Best Actor National Award for the second time and both for films directed by filmmaker Vetri Maaran. A day after Dhanush’s Best Actor National Award was announced for the 2019 movie Asuran, which also won Best Tamil Film, the actor shared a note on social media. He wrote, “I woke up to this amazing news of being honoured with the prestigious national award for Asuran. To win one best actor award is a dream, to win two is nothing short of a blessing. I never imagined I would come this far. There are a lot of people to thank, but just gonna state a few. As always, I thank my mother and father, my guru, my brother first. I thank Vetri Maaran for giving me ‘Sivasami.’ Vetri, never thought when I met you at Balu Mahendra sir’s office that you would become a friend, companion, and a brother. I am so proud of the four films we have worked together and the two films we have produced together. I am very glad you chose to believe in me so much and I chose to believe in you. Now can’t wait to hear what you have written for me next. A big hug.”
