Collaborating with Prabhas for the first time, Shruti Haasan discusses wrapping up the Hyderabad schedule of actioner Salaar.
Prabhas and Shruti Haasan
On Shruti Haasan’s birthday last month, the makers of Salaar revealed that she has been roped in as the leading lady of the Prabhas-starrer. Having recently wrapped up the first schedule in Hyderabad, the actor has joined the ever-growing list of Prabhas’s admirers. “I have been working in Telugu cinema for so many years, but never had the opportunity of working with Prabhas. He is the warmest co-star I have had. People often say that so-and-so is down-to-earth; it’s a loosely used term. But in his case, it is absolutely true. When I was working with him, there was a positive energy on the set,” says Haasan.

The Prashanth Neel-directed film, touted as a “pan-India project”, will be released in Hindi as well. True to the director’s style, the movie will be a high-
octane action thriller that sees the South superstar play a violent character. Ask Haasan if she will be matching Prabhas, punch for punch, and she says, “I don’t have action scenes in Salaar. I think women don’t get the chance to explore action often. I have been fortunate to try my hand at it in Luck [2009], and more recently in Krack. I love doing stunts, but they cannot be forced into the narrative.”
