Actor Dhanush might have found love once again after his divorce with Aishwarya Rajinikanth, as reports have surfaced claiming that he is dating actress Mrunal Thakur. It all began after the two were seen holding hands at a party and netizens could not help but raise eyebrows at the undeniable chemistry between them.

In a video which is now splashed all over the internet, Mrunal and Dhanush can be seen casually holding hands while being engrossed in conversation. Later, the actress also leaned and whispered into the Raanjhanaa actor's ear, and he was seen smiling at her.

The video seems to be from the special screening of Mrunal's film, Son Of Sardaar 2, and Dhanush reportedly flew down from Chennai to Mumbai to attend it, which was surprising for his fans, considering how the actor refrains from making regular public appearances.
