Entering the nepotism debate, actor Shruti Haasan admits that her entry into cinema was on account of her father Kamal Haasan. She says, “The doors of the film industry opened for me simply because of my surname. It would be criminal to deny that. But over the years, I learned that things are different in Tamil and Telugu cinema when compared to Bollywood.”
Shruti added, “I made my debut alongside a star like Suriya in Tamil, an actor who also got his break because of his father, Sivakumar sir. And yet, his path to stardom was carved by his work. After that initial launch, every actor has to prove their talent and work hard to get their next offer, especially in Telugu and Tamil cinema. Your background stops being such an influence after your debut. I am not sure whether this is the case in Bollywood. I think it's different there.”
On the work front, Shruti was recently seen in Tigmanshu Dhulia's 'Yaara'. She also has Vijay Sethupathi's 'Laabam', and Ravi Teja's 'Krack'.
