My life my rules

SHRUTI HAASAN IN A HAPPY PLACE BOTH PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY BUT SHE TELLS TANZIM PARDIWALLA THAT SHE YEARNS TO TOUCH PERFECTION

In Salaar your character goes, “I need a drink” after hearing Deva’s (played by Prabhas) backstory. Was that your reaction to the story? The film goes hard. But that’s what you expect from Prashanth Neel. It’s not usually a character I would choose. In terms of her personality, she’s waiting for a lot of things to happen. But I liked it because all of these things happen because she enters the story. I have always been a fan of Prashant Neel’s work and the worlds he creates and I was Interested in being a part of that. I was also interested in working with Prabhas as well.

What was it like immersing yourself in Prashanth Neel’s world? It’s not just the kind of films he makes and how much power he truly commands power on the set. He’s got a leadership personality and he knows how to make all his team members love working with him. He gives us that feeling. That is his greatest achievement as a person and a director.

How was it working with Prabhas?
