Selvaraghavan
is
now
filming

Ram
Studious,
Chennai.
Raayan
reportedly
materialized
after
a
decade
and
a
half
after
Dhanush
conceived
the
story.
If
the
buzz
is
to
be
believed,
Dhanush
wanted
'Raayan'
to
be
his
directorial
debut
but
he
went
ahead
with
'Pa
Pandi.'
Selvaraghavan,
Dhanush's
elder
brother,
who
is
also
playing
a
key
role
in
the
movie
clarified
that
he
did
not
do
anything
in
the
script
of
Raayan
and
the
movie
is
Dhanush's
dream
project.
