In October, an elderly couple, Kathiresan and Meenal, from Melur near Madhurai in Tamil Nadu claimed that Tamil star Dhanush is their estranged kid Kalaiselvan, who ran away from home in his childhood.
On November 7th, the couple filed a petition at a local court in Melur claiming to be the star's real parents and that they recognized Dhanush after seeing him in movies and even produced childhood photographs and birth certificate allegedly of Dhanush when he was in studying in class 10th.
The couple, who failed to meet Dhanush at his Chennai residence, also approached to the police and the Chief Minister's special cell, seeking their help in getting their son back. The couple went on to seek Rs.65,000 from Dhanush towards their monthly maintenance.
Yesterday, the judicial magistrate summoned Dhanush to appear before the Melur court on or before January 12th for a hearing in the old couple's paternity case. Dhanush is yet to respond to the entire controversy.
