Shruti Haasan is one of the most popular actresses in the Indian film industry. What sets her apart from her contemporaries is that she has a very particular aesthetic – that of a goth girl. Why does Shruti like the gothic style? In a recent interaction between Kamal Haasan and Shruti Haasan, the actor also posed this question to his daughter. Turns out, he is the reason behind this after all.
Kamal Haasan asked Shruti, “One reason to become a goth girl?” Shruti Haasan replied, “Oh, you only! Because… nobody knows that when I was little, you didn’t raise me as a girl. You were like, ‘Come, play in the mud, be cool! Listen to this rock music. And then you always had that Marudhanayagam thaadi (beard) and one day you had tattoos. So, it’s all your fault. And you are always dressed in black at home. I was like, ‘Oh, that’s the cool uniform. I get it.’ But you never brought me up like a girl. You should do this, read this, behave like this…”
Kamal Haasan said, “So, when people asked me how I trained my daughter, I used to say, ‘I have trained her to walk 12 km, and she has graduated to 18 km. She almost fainted.’ They would be flabbergasted.” Shruti replied, “You taught me that what you see is not the real thing. There’s something behind it. So, my fascination for goth was because of that. I started seeing things behind everything. So, it’s your fault. If you wonder why I wear so much black, ask him.”
Meanwhile, Kamal Haasan will soon be seen in Kalki 2898 AD. The highly anticipated sci-fi movie will also feature Prabhas, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in prominent roles. The film is a Nag Ashwin directorial project. Produced by C Aswani Dutt under Vyjayanthi Movies, the musical score for Kalki 2898 AD is orchestrated by Santhosh Narayanan.
As for Shruti Haasan, she will also be seen sharing the screen with Prabhas in Salaar 2. It is rumoured that she will also be seen in Yash’s Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups. However, there is no confirmation on this yet. Producers of Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations, had earlier issued a statement urging everyone to refrain from spreading speculation or theories regarding the film’s casting. The statement further confirms that the casting process is nearing completion, and the team is elated with the ensemble they have on board.
