Introducing Shruti Haasan



She is a Rock Singer, a Music Composer, a Model and finally turning into full time actress . Her father is one of the legendary actors of the country. Her Momma is one of the beautiful women I have ever seen (Yeah, I have seen Sarikaji in real life). She is going to make her big screen debut on 24th July this year.
"Naam Hai Shruti Haasan. Na main Luck pe jeeti hoon na Luck pe bharosa hai mujhe. Kyunki Luck bhi sirf uska saath deta hai jismein jitne ka jazva ho." She declares in her introductory promo of the film Luck. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBiyPDq7_8)

Shruti Rajalakshmi Haasan was born on 28 January, 1986 to Kamal Haasan, a legendary actor and Sarika, a beautiful actress. She began her singing career singing alongside another great actor Sivaji Ganesan, when she was six year old in her father's Tamil film Thevar Magan (1992) followed by Chachi 420 (1998) in Hindi and the bilingual Hey Ram (2000). Soon after her parents got separated and she came to Mumbai with her mother where she completed her final schooling. She then went to the Musicians Institute, Hollywood (USA) to further hone her musical skills.

After returning, she was doing a lot of live performances specially in rock concerts. The first playback singing as grown up happened in the Tamil film Varanam Aayiram (2008) with the rocking song Adiya Kulluthey. Amazing voice. She will compose music for her father's next film which is a remake of the acclaimed A Wednesday. Her music album where she is composer-lyricist- singer will release soon.

She is making her big screen debut in the adventure action thriller Luck directed by Soham Shah alongside Imran Khan, who is a long time friend and has a peculiar relationship. Shruti's mom is dating Imran's mom's ex husband Raj Zutshi. :P. Coming back to the film she has sung the rock version of the title track Aazma Luck.

Many star children make their entry to the film world. Some succeed, some fail and some reach the dizzying heights of stardom. But seldom such multi talented person makes an entry. Watch out for the first female superstar who is truly a rock star. Shruti Haasan. Lastly about her 'Muslim' sounding surname. Her grandfather had a dear friend by the name Haasan. The friendship was so deep that grandpa decided to give the name as surname to his children which is now passed onto children's children. Her grandfather's surname was Ayyenger and he was a Tamil Brahmin.
