Kamal Haasan’s Daughter Shruti Plays a Tough Girl in her Debut Film 'Luck', Opposite Imran Khan
Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruti is all set to make her debut opposite Aamir Khan’s nephew Imran Khan in Soham Shah’s Luck. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt and Mithun Chakraborthy. Speculations have been rife about her debut film and now, Soham Shah has finalised Shruti as she fit the bill for the character he had in mind. Luck is produced by Dhillin Mehta of Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision
When contacted, Soham Shah said, “We wanted to cast a new girl opposite Imran and Shruti seemed perfect for the role. We required a girl who would look innocent as well as convincing while doing the action sequences.”
Soham met Shruti in Chennai and she loved the script too. However, she didn’t hesitate to inform that this being her first film, she would like to take her father’s opinion before saying yes.
Soham added, “She wanted to consult her father Kamal Haasan before saying yes to my film. Once she got the nod from him, she was on board.”
Shruti starts shooting from July 8 in South Africa where the film will be shot from start to finish. The story shows all the characters coming from different parts of the world who try out their luck in South Africa. Shruti’s role includes a lot of action as she plays a girl who is tougher than the boys in the film. Shruti, who already has a welltoned body, will take lessons from action director Allan Amin to gear up for the action scenes. “Her body suits the character she plays in Luck and that was a significant factor in casting her in the film,” said Soham. Soham says that he is very happy to have stars like Mithun, Sanjay Dutt, Danny Denzongpa, and Ravi Kishan along with Imran and Shruti in the film. “I am very excited about the film and I know we all will have a great time shooting for it,” added an excited Soham.
