“Both of them are generally quiet on sets, other than in between when the pleasantries happen. Once the shoot goes on, they are on their own...I think they are processing the scene completely. Dhanush goes and sits in one corner and he does not chat much with anybody. But when you chat, he is very good. He is very much into the character,” Nagarjuna said.
