The singer-actress seemed to content with her music as well as doing South films. The actress, however, now has two Hindi films.
Highlights
- Shruti Haasan's Bollywood outings have proved to be duds so far. After Soham Shah’s Luck in 2009, she was seen briefly in Madhur Bhandarkar’s Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji last year.
- The singer-actress seemed to content with her music as well as doing South films. The actress, however, now has two Hindi films. After signing Prabhu Deva’s directorial venture with newbie Girish Taurani, the actress has also signed Nikhil Advani’s next film which also stars Arjun Rampal, Irrfan and Huma Qureshi.
- The renewed interest in Bollywood is thanks to her Tamil film 3 in which she was seen with Dhanush earlier this year and featured the nation’s anthem Why This Kolaveri Di.
- A source said, "Nikhil signed her for his film after watching 3. He felt she had potential and as his film has a lot of action sequences, the director felt she could do justice to the role. Even in Luck she had a lot of stunts."
- The source added, "With Prabhu Deva there is the comfort factor as she knows him and they bond over Tamil. But for Nikhil’s project, she got a call out of the blue from him for the project. She was happy to work opposite Arjun Rampal."
