“Dear media houses in western countries, you are more than welcome to mention @dhanushkraja as an Indian actor but don’t call him a Bollywood actor. His works are predominantly in Tamil. I’m sure he is a proud Tamil actor and we are super proud of his growth. Thanks” wrote Rajasekhar, a film journalist in his tweet.

Fans are also planning to trend a hashtag highlighting Dhanush as a “Tamil actor” after a report of Deadline said that Dhanush is a “huge bollywood star whose credits include Raanjhanaa and Asuran”.
