Amidst the fervor of electoral democracy, actor Dhanush exercised his franchise at a polling booth in Alwarpet, Chennai, during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections on Friday. Clad in a white shirt and black pants, the ‘Raanjhanaa’ star made his way to the polling booth in central Chennai.
The first phase of Lok Sabha elections 2024 saw voting for all 39 parliamentary seats in Tamil Nadu begin at 7:00 am on Friday, along with 102 parliamentary constituencies spread over 21 states and Union Territories. Superstars Rajinikanth, Ajith Kumar, and Kamal Haasan also cast their votes in Chennai.
As they cast their votes, these actors greeted fans and paparazzi, displaying their inked fingers for photographers and videographers to capture the moment.
