Actor Dhanush, who has been gearing up for the release of his much-anticipated film Tere Ishk Mein, has suddenly found himself at the centre of a new controversy; one that many fans and followers are calling a well-timed “hit job”. The latest uproar stems from an interview given by television actress Manya Anand, whose claims surfaced just weeks before the film’s promotional cycle peaks.
In her interview with Cineulagam, Manya alleged that she received “adjustment” requests from individuals who introduced themselves as members of Dhanush’s team. She claimed a man named Shreyas first contacted her, asking whether she was ready for a role in a Dhanush film, and later added that there “must be a commitment with the hero”. Manya says she refused outright. She further alleged that another person claiming to be a manager from Dhanush’s side approached her days later with a similar offer, though she maintains she never saw any script.

Her remarks immediately went viral, triggering a fresh wave of speculation. However, many online users quickly pointed to a crucial fact: Dhanush’s real manager Shreyas had already issued a public warning months ago, stating that fraudsters were impersonating him to approach actresses and extract favours.

Fans argue that Manya may have been targeted by such impersonators and that dragging Dhanush’s name, without verification, is irresponsible.
Several social-media commentators also noted the timing of the controversy. With Tere Ishk Mein heading into its release phase, they allege that the sudden revival of unverified allegations appears to be part of a patterned smear campaign aimed at undercutting Dhanush’s public image before a major film launch.
While Manya maintains she simply shared her experience, supporters of the actor insist the controversy reflects a broader trend of orchestrated “hit jobs” on high-profile actors at strategic moments. Dhanush’s team has not issued an official response at the moment regarding these allegations, but fans argue that the resurfacing of impersonation scams and the quick leap to blame the actor deserves scrutiny in itself.
