Romantic drama Tere Ishk Mein reunites Dhanush with director Aanand L Rai after Raanjhanaa and Atrangi Re. <\/p>\n

Director Aanand L Rai<\/a> is not shying away from discussing the buzz around his upcoming film Tere Ishk Mein, starring Dhanush<\/a>, being compared to Ranbir Kapoor<\/a>\u2019s Animal. While he acknowledges that there might be some similarities in how the characters have aggression and rage, he is quick to clarify that Tere Ishk Mein “doesn\u2019t belong in the same space”.<\/p>\n

\"Tere Tere Ishk Mein will be released in theatres on November 28. Aanand L Rai on Animal comparison<\/p>\n

Since the trailer\u2019s release, viewers have been quick to draw parallels between Dhanush\u2019s intense character arc and other films that delve into toxic masculinity, including Sandeep Reddy Vanga\u2019s Animal and Kabir Singh. The filmmaker discussed the comparison during an interview with The Hindu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It doesn’t belong in the same space. There are similarities in how the characters have aggression and rage. But those are just the ingredients and not the story,” he stated.<\/p>\n

A moment in the trailer where Dhanush barges into a wedding, ready to wreak havoc, fuelled conversations about him embodying yet another \u2018alpha male\u2019 persona. Responding to the chatter, Aanand stressed that the character isn\u2019t shaped by clich\u00e9s or stereotypes.<\/p>\n

“A story is never conceived thinking of your character as an alpha. For me, the character is emotional and sensitive, and nothing that he does is wrong,” he added.<\/p>\n

About Tere Ishk Mein<\/p>\n

Also starring Kriti Sanon<\/a>, the film tells the story of an angry and violent young man, played by Dhanush, who falls in love with a woman named Mukti. Their romance blossoms in college corridors and over bike rides, but she soon changes her mind about him, choosing another man to marry. Jilted, he becomes vengeful and pledges to burn \u2018entire Delhi\u2019 to ashes for his broken heart. He becomes a pilot in the midst of all this mess, and she takes to the bottle.<\/p>\n
