Shruti Haasan has owned a piece of my heart ever since I watched Nikhil Advani's 2013 film D-Day. It was a brief appearance in a movie that boasted powerhouse performers like Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, but her scar-faced fragile beauty, her piercing silence, and those haunting eyes lend the poignancy required to play Suraiya. Her understated performance made the character stand out. Underrated, understated, she has been a jack of many trades, multi-lingually gaining fans across cinema landscapes, not to mention her passion for music and her singing, which, she says, is her priority.
And now, Shruti Haasan is all set to make her international movie debut. The actor, who had already played the recurring character of Nira Patel, an assassin, in the American television series Treadstone, is still tight-lipped about this new project. "I can't currently speak about it much. But I am really excited. This is my second international project. I have studied outside India, I have done gigs around London; I think with technology, the borders are fading," she tells me over a phone call.
But her next release is a song. "The song is a collaborative effort, and it is the first video under my production house, so I am excited," says the singer-songwriter, who also used to have her own alternative rock band, The Extramentals, had put out her first original song video, Edge, during the lockdown.
Being the daughter of National Award-winning actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika Thakur, acting was always in her genes. But she is also a bonafide singer.
