Directed by Aishwarya Rajinikanth, the elder daughter of superstar Rajinikanth, this Tamil romantic psychological thriller was originally released in 2012. Back then, the Why This Kolaveri Di? song by Anirudh Ravichander was a huge rage, and it garnered all the attention towards the film. Unfortunately, in terms of theatrical run, it wasn’t a winner.
However, 3 has become widely popular over the years among Dhanush fans, and many even call it underrated. It was re-released for the first time in 2022, and the response was phenomenal in the Telugu states. Cut to now, the film has hit theatres for the third time, and again, the audience is going crazy. In fact, before the first show started, almost half of the shows were in the filling fast or houseful mode.

It’s a really crazy scene, and it just shows the craze for Dhanush among the Telugu audience.
