The Gray Man: Dhanush opens up about his action scenes with Ana de Armas and Ryan Gosling.
The Gray Man is all set to release this weekend. While the anticipation is high, Indian film lovers are eagerly also looking forward to watching Dhanush in the film. The actor plays the role of Chris Evans’ ‘sexy Tamil friend’ aka Avik San in the film. Ahead of the film’s release, the Russo Brothers had shared a clip from The Gray Man showing Dhanush in an action scene with Ryan Gosling and Ana de Armas.
The action sequence has only increased the anticipation. Speaking about the sequence at a press conference in Mumbai, Dhanush confessed he was taken aback when he saw Armas kick her leg high in the air on the first day of their shoot.
The Russo Brothers also opened up about how they roped in Dhanush into The Gray Man universe. “We actually became familiar with Dhanush’s work as we were developing The Gray Man. We do a lot of research in terms of what we can do with the action, what we’re aspiring to do. And we have a wonderful, creative team and that stunt performing team that we work with as we develop those ideas, and many people on those on that team would start to show us videos,” Anthony Russo said.
“Joe and I kept watching to Dhanush in these clips, where we started thinking, ‘Well, why are we just looking at him as a reference? Why don’t we actually ask him if he wants to be in the movie?’ And to our great surprise and pleasure he did so we had a fantastic experience,” he added.
The Gray Man releases on July 22 on Netflix. The film stars Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Regé-Jean Page, and Jessica Henwick besides Dhanush. The film marks Russo Brothers’ first directorial project since Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
