In their counter affidavit before the Melur Judicial Magistrate yesterday, R Kathiresan and Meenakshi submitted that they could prove their claim that Dhanush was their son, if the trial was conducted.
Dhanush, son-in-law of superstar Rajinikant, had moved the Madras High Court bench on January 25 this year, seeking quashing of the case filed by the couple.
The couple had claimed Dhanush was their third son and also sought maintenance of Rs 65,000 per month from the actor as they could not fend for themselves.
They had submitted that Dhanush was a schoolboy when he ran away to Chennai to get into the film world. They could not trace him then and recognised him while watching his movies, they said. Their efforts to meet him at Chennai had failed, they added.
