Tamil Superstar Dhanush will be seen playing a significant role in Joe and Anthony Russo's action-thriller 'The Gray Man'. 'The Gray Man' is reportedly one of the most expensive Netflix film with a budget of $200 million. It arrives in select theatres on July 16 and on Netflix on July 22.
For Indians, it would be much more entertaining as Dhanush will be playing Avik San, a cutthroat assassin hired to take out the looming threat of rogue agent Sierra Six (Ryan Gosling). Giving a glimpse more of Asuran actor, Netflix released an action-packed scene from ‘The Gray Man’.
In the snippet, we can see Dhanush going head-to-head with Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), aka, Sierra Six and Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) in an intense fight scene. Sharing the video on their social media, Netflix wrote, "We choose Dhanush as our weapon of choice anyday #TheGrayMan, coming on 22nd July, only on Netflix".
Dhanush, who plays a pivotal role in the movie, shared the glimpse on his social media handle, and said, “Avik San from #TheGrayMan @therussobrothers”. His character is described as a "lethal force".
Earlier, Dhanush in a statement had said, "I don’t know how I ended up in this film." This left all the cast members of the movie in splits.
Further, he added, "I was thrilled and very excited. Of course, I don’t get to say much in the film. I was super thrilled and was looking for an opportunity to learn and explore."
Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo, written by Joe Russo, Christopher Markus, and Stephen McFeely, the movie is based on the book series ‘The Gray Man’ by Mark Greaney.
‘The Gray Man’ is CIA operative Court Gentry (Ryan Gosling), aka, Sierra Six. Plucked from a federal penitentiary and recruited by his handler, Donald Fitzroy (Billy Bob Thornton), Gentry was once a highly-skilled, Agency-sanctioned merchant of death. But now the tables have turned and Six is the target, hunted across the globe by Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans), a former cohort at the CIA, who will stop at nothing to take him out. Agent Dani Miranda (Ana de Armas) has his back. He’ll need it.
