Shruti Haasan made much news when she entered industry as the daughter of Kamal Haasan. Then she was seen every where. In between models, actors, singers etc. She is interested in music and then she forayed into acting.

She is seen in Bollywood and will shortly be seen in Tamil and Telugu. You can listen her in Kannada. Shruti is now on a debuting spree in all languages as an actress, as a singer and music composer.

The question is, is she genuinely multi talented as her father or is she just enjoying the publicity. Shruthi Haasan is seen making efforts to carve a niche and is out there making a lot of noise. Or why; are filmmakers intended to create the news value they get while attaching her to their projects. Shruthi has to prove.

She made a bad Hindi debut with Luck. The flick hadn't made any impact in box office or her career.

Her future projects
The Walt Disney Company India has announced a Telugu movie with Shruti Hassan and Siddharth in lead. The film is yet to be titled and is a fantasy adventure. It is directed by National Award winner Prakash Rao Kovelamudi.

The story rings a bell of classic film 'The Wizard of Oz'. Director Prakash's father is producer, director K. Raghavendra Rao.

After this movie, she will make debut in Tamil with Suriya and Ghajini director Murugadoss.

The star is to act in the re imagined version of Kamal Haasan and Sridevi yesteryear super hit movie Sigappu Rojakkal. It was also made in Telugu as Yerra Gulabilu. The original version was directed by Bharathi Raja and the modern version will be made by his son Manoj The flick will have Shakthi opposite Shruti.

Music career

Shruti's musical debut, in Unnai Pol Oruvan has garnered many appreciation. She is making her playback debut in Kannada in Manikanth Kadri's compositions. This Suri directed film Prithvi stars Puneet Rajkumar and Parvathi Menon.
