Dhanush may not consider himself to be Brad Pitt by looks, but his acting and intensity of roles come across like white heat. How does he manage to do this? Quite by accident, this rising young star of Tamil cinema let us at Galatta.com in on how he works on different roles he plays: he's a student who believes in practice makes perfect.

And so, in the wee hours of the night (or morning?), Dhanush takes up each and every emotion he has to portray on camera, writes his theories on the different nuances of each and practices in front of his mirror; and then a video camera!!! Then, he screens himself (a touch test indeed, we are given to understand) and works on the finer points of what suits him and what doesn't!

Quite the professional, isn't he?
