Birthmarks removed from Dhanush's body, suggest medical reports

The Madras High Court on Monday closely examined a medical report on the disputed parentage of popular actor Dhanush, filed in reply to a couple's plea claiming him to be their run-away son and seeking maintenance from him. The report, filed by Government Rajaji Hospital's dean Vairamuthu Raju and Madurai Medical College Principal Meenakshi Sundaram earlier on March 2, was examined by Justice P N Prakash of the high court's Madurai bench. The report had been filed in response to the court's February 28 directive for medical verification of Dhanush's identification marks in light of the elderly couple's claim. The couple had claimed the documents like birth and transfer certificates and identification marks etc., filed by Dhanush parents Vijayalakshmi and Kasthuri Raja were fake and fabricated. They had claimed Dhanush was their third son and had also sought a monthly maintenance of Rs 65,000 saying that they were in a very poor financial position. They had claimed that Dhanush was a school boy when he ran away to Chennai to get into the film world. They could not trace him then and recognized him while watching movies. Their efforts to meet him in Chennai did not succeed, they said. The actor, however, has denied the submissions saying their entire statements were false. Dhanush, is an Indian film actor, director, producer, writer, lyricist, and playback singer best known for his work in Tamil cinema. Dhanush's first film was Thulluvadho Ilamai, a 2002 coming-of-age film directed by his father, Kasthuri Raja. Over the next ten years, Dhanush has starred in over 25 films. Dhanush won the Best Actor award at the 58th National Film Awards for his performance in Aadukalam (2010). In 2011, Dhanush received international attention with his popular song "Why this Kolaveri Di", which became the first Indian video song to cross 100 million views on YouTube. Dhanush produces films under his production company, Wunderbar Films. He has won 3 National Film Awards and 7 Filmfare Awards.
