Shruti Haasan says it's no big deal to don swimwear for a film

Kamal Haasan has yet to see his daughter Shruti's B-Town debut, Luck. Apart from singing and performing stunts for Soham Shah's actioneer, the newbie has also shed her inhibitions. Shruti's skinfest in a bikini for Luck was because as is it is said in B-Town lingo the scene needed it.



Says Shruti, "When Soham narrated the script, I did not even consider the bikini thing as a big deal it was logical to the premise. While shooting for it, the weather was very weird that day. It was freezing cold, but apart from that it was like any other scene in the film for me."

Informs Soham, "Shruti did work out to get a toned body. Moreover she worked more hard to maintain it. We shot the sequence in Cape Town. The temperature was only two degrees. She had to brave the icy weather for the shoot."

The director adds, "The scene involves Imran Khan, Ravi Kissen and Mithun Chakraborthy. Shruti was not at all apprehensive of wearing a two-piece swim wear as she was aware of it from before. The scene is totally justified as Ravi Kishen's character pins his eyes on her."

The bikini was styled keeping the scene in mind by Soham's wife, Binal Shah, a fashion designer. She says, "I bought a plain Bebe bikini that fitted Shruti perfectly. I then embellished it with mother of pearls in shades of green that matched the night pool ambience."
