A couple from Madurai, Kathiresan and Meenakshi had filed a case in the Madurai court that Dhanush is actually their son but eloped to Chennai when he was in 11th grade to act in movies and sought a monthly maintenance of Rs 65000/- from him.
However, Dhanush refused all these and stated that these claims are merely for extortion of money from him as he is a public figure. Both the parties had submitted proof in the form of birth certificates and school transfer certificates. When the question of birth marks came up, Kathiresan stated that Dhanush has a mole near his collarbone. This was also refused by Dhanush.
When the case came for hearing yesterday, the 24th February at the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court, the judge directed Dhanush to appear before it in person on the 28th of February to verify the identification marks.
