Don’t worry about Shruti’s career anymore: Kamal Haasan
Kamal Haasan is happy that Shruti is getting to work with different filmmakers in different industries.
Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan feels the period of worry for daughter Shruti’s film career is over for him and he wants her to now focus on consolidating on her achievements.
The 27-year-old actress,singer and musician made her Bollywood debut with 2009 film ‘Luck’. She juggles between the South Indian film industry and Bollywood and her father is
happy to see that 10-film-old Shruti is getting to work with
different filmmakers in different industries.
“She is doing her work to the best of her knowledge and to the best of my knowledge she is doing fine. I will admit that
there was a moment of worry for both Shruti and me but now
the worrying part is over. Now,it is all about developing it
to the correct pitch. That is our only concern now,” Kamal told PTI in an interview.
The ‘Vishwaroopam’ star’s other daughter Akshara is also set to make her film debut with ‘Paa’ director R Balki’s next film opposite Tamil star Dhanush,who made his Bollywood debut with ‘Ranjhanaa’. Amitabh Bachchan also stars in the film.
“I think it is confirmed that she will star in Balki’s film. I am happy for her and wish her all the best,” the 59-year-old actor said on the sidelines of IFFI.
Having an illustrious film career spanning over five decades does make Kamal the best adviser for his two daughters,but the veteran says he hardly shares any tip or trivia with them when it comes to their work.
“I give very little or no input at all. It is mostly the DNA. Rest is their talent. I have no contribution in training them as actors or guiding them how to shape their careers. They will have to figure that out by themselves,” he said.
Kamal is also busy with the post-production work of his next film ‘Vishwaroopam II’,a spy thriller,which is the sequel to ‘Vishwaroopam’.
The original film saw fragmented release earlier this year due to controversies,regarding the film’s plotline.
However,the actor hopes that the second film from the franchise will not have to face the similar obstacles as the first.
“All parties are wiser now. Hopefully they will not indulge in any of such things that have happened before,” he said.
Besies Kamal,Rahul Bose,Pooja Kumar and Andrea Jeremiah will reprise their roles from the original.
While the first film was set in the United States,’Vishwaroopam II’ is based in India. Produced by Venu Ravichandran in Tamil,the film is also being produced by Ekta Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor in Hindi as ‘Vishwaroop II’.
