Shruti Haasan stars alongside Rajnikanth for the first time in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, arriving in theatres on 14th August. Also featuring stalwarts Nagarjuna and Sathyaraj, the film has fans thrilled about the star-studded lineup and the fresh collaborations it promises.
Reflecting on working with Rajnikanth, Shruti said: "Now I got the other perspective, I get to hear Rajni sir's stories. I was hearing one side for like 30 plus years and now I get to hear the other perspective. So the lot of people thought that the families were very close but we really weren't. We dint really had that interaction while growing up, I think I must have met him like a hello hi just for 3-4 times in my entire life, so I had no idea who this person beyond the persona was. To me he was Rajni sir like everybody else but it was really wonderful to getting to know him and working with him and he is so different to papa. He is a mix of everything, he is extremely humble and extremely sharp notices everything, he seems extremely non judgemental but is very clear about how he does things. It's really amalgamation of qualities and just very kind to everyone on set, just a pleasure working with him."
He told me once that, 'Thank God for your dad or else I could have hurt my self really badly. Your dad was passing by once and said what you are doing up, I said I am suppose to jump and he said you are not suppose to jump without mattress. He went and bought the mattress and told me how to jump, so I am always thankful to Kamal for that."
As Coolie creates buzz, Shruti is also making headlines with her international film The Eye, in which she plays the lead role. The film marks her debut on the global stage and is slated to release later this year.
