Pawan Kalyan romances Shruti Haasan in Gabbar Singh

Kamal Haasan's multi-talented daughter Shruti plays the love interest of superstar Pawan Kalyan in Gabbar Singh, which is the Telugu remake of hit Bollywood film Dabangg.

Shruti will step into Sonakshi Sinha's village belle shoes.

Shruti was last seen opposite Dhanush in Tamil film 3. Though the film was a box office dud she received a lot of praise for her portrayal of Janani.

Shruti, who has recently signed a film opposite actor Nitin, shows off her dance moves.

Pawan Kalyan plays the role of a cop, made famous by Salman Khan in the Hindi original.

The music of the film has been composed by Devi Sri Prasad.

The film has been directed by Harish Shankar.

Item queen Malaika Arora Khan will reprise her Munni number in Gabbar Singh. The last time Malaika was seen in a Telugu movie was five years ago, when she did an item number for the film Athidhi.

The Tamil version of Dabangg, titled Osthi, featured an item by Mallika Sherawat after Malaika refused to do it.
