Bollywood actressAmyra Dastur , who is making her Southern debut in KVAnand’s Anegan, has lot of reasons to be delighted to be part of the big-budget project. Among the many things Amyra is excited about being part of the film, it’s the experience of having shared screen space with Dhanush in the film. "There’s absolutely no sign of stardom when you’re around him. He makes you feel extremely comfortable and takes effort to lend help whenever needed. I haven’t found anyone more humble than him," the actress told Mirror recently.
She says Dhanush respects the opinions of his director. "He is really a director's actor. He minds his own business and never tries to interfere. Not even once did he try to incorporate his ideas into the story. I think that's so great. So many actors have reached a point in their careers that they try to change things which a director might not like. You would never find Dhanush doing anything of that sort,” she said. Not only was Dhanush a supportive and friendly co-actor, he also helped Amyra get over her fear of the language. "I didn't know a word of Tamil when I started shooting. I would fumble a lot with my lines. Dhanush would tell me that he struggled the same way when he entered Bollywood. That was so sweet of him and it gave me a lot of confidence," she said. Amyra, known for her Hindi film Issaq, said the Bollywood factor common between her and Dhanush helped them bond easily. "Our Bollywood connect helped us to bond well. He shared with me a lot of Bollywood gossip and also helped me understand the Tamil film industry better because I'm new and getting a lot of offers," she added.
Amyra has hit a jackpot film by landing an opportunity to triple role in the film, which is said to be a romantic drama set across generations. “I can't reveal much about my roles, but I play three different characters.”

She thinks Anand is a great director. "I didn't know he was a cinematographer before I met him. I have seen his films and I feel he makes them visually beautiful. When a film is visually beautiful, it tends to do well. Although he makes commercial films, there's something so different in them. If we look at his film Maattrraan, you know it's a masala film but it's still so different and entertaining at the same time. I think that's what makes him a great director," she said.
