Sonam is a huge fan of actresses like Hema Malini, Vaijayantimala, Waheeda Rehman, Jayapradha and Sri Devi who made their debut in Tamil films before taking the Hindi film industry by storm.
Interetsingly, Dhanush will be making his Hindi debut with Raanjhanaa and is ecstatic about it. "The reason I have reached this escalated level is because of the love from my Tamil audience; they have felt and lived every character I have portrayed, cried and laughed with me. I have implemented the role with core intensity as a performer, in Ambikapathy too," he said.
