Dhanush says Akshara Haasan had the most challenging role in their forthcoming film Shamitabh, but that she pulled it off convincingly.

“Of all the roles, Akshara has the most challenging part in the film. I don’t think she ever struggled to pull it off as acting runs in her blood,” Dhanush said.

Haasan is the daughter of veteran actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika.

Shamitabh, slated for release on February 6, also stars Amitabh Bachchan and is directed by R. Balakrishnan.

On working with Bachchan, Dhanush said: “I never expected I’d get an opportunity to work with him. There’s nothing more to add when you’re working with a legend because everything is so special.”

Dhanush, along with Balki and Haasan, met students of Sathyabama University on Friday to promote their film.

In the film, Bachchan voices Dhanush’s character.
