To everyone's shock, An aged couple R Katharesan (60) and K Meenakshi (55) who hail from Manampatti village in Melur Taluk of Madurai moved the Judicial Magistrate Court claiming that Tamil star Dhanush was actually their son. They say Dhanush, who's original name was 'Kaliselvan', was born to them on November 7th, 1985.
If their version is to be believed, Dhanush is their elder child. They have a daughter whom they named as Dhanapackiam.
Katharesan is a retired bus conductor. He says Dhanush studied up to Class X in RC Middle School. He claims that his son escaped from them when he was in Class 11 to fulfill his dream of becoming an Actor and changed his name to Dhanush K Raja. He says Kasthuri Raja kept him in his custody since then. The Petitioner now appeals Court to pass an order asking Dhanush to pay them Rs 65,000 per month for maintenance.
To prove their claims, The Couple submitted birth certificate and childhood pictures of Dhanush to the court. Judicial Magistrate Selva Kumar directed Dhanush to appear before it on January 12th next year.
