Shruti Haasan is an Indian actress and singer who works in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi films.[1] She started her career as a playback singer at the age of six in the 1992 Tamil film Thevar Magan.[2] She had a brief role in her father, Kamal Haasan's Tamil-Hindi directorial Hey Ram (2000) as a child artist.[3] Haasan's first major appearance was in the Hindi film Luck (2009), in which she played a dual role of a woman avenging her twin sister's death.[4] She played the female lead in the films Anaganaga O Dheerudu and 7 Aum Arivu; both were released in 2011 and together earned her the Best Female Debut– South at the 59th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.[5]
In 2015, Haasan played the female lead in five films: Gabbar Is Back and Welcome Back in Hindi, Srimanthudu in Telugu, and Puli and Vedalam in Tamil. Except Puli, the rest of the releases achieved commercial success.[13][14][15] She earned a nomination for the Best Actress– Telugu award at the 63rd Filmfare Awards South ceremony for her performance in Srimanthudu.[16] The following year, she had two releases: Rocky Handsome and Premam. The latter, a Telugu remake of the 2015 Malayalam-language film of the same name, drew criticism for Haasan's casting before its release.[17][18] She played the role of a young college lecturer with a slightly stern approach towards her students.[19] The remake gained positive critical reception,[20] and earned average returns.[21] Her Tamil film Si3 had a theatrical release in 2017; it was a commercial success.[22] Following a career downturn and hiatus, Haasan has appeared in Krack (2021), Veera Simha Reddy (2023), Waltair Veerayya (2023) and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire (2023), all of which ranks among the highest grossing Telugu films of all time.[23][24]
