Actor Shruti Haasan, who is currently in Hyderabad for a shoot believes the new normal would be about playing by the ear, one day at a time with extreme caution. Calling the Covid-induced lockdown a “crazy, challenging time”, she said she tried to be productive, creative, and positive in the last four months.
She said, “The lockdown has allowed me to spend some time and get to know myself better. Apart from writing music and pros, I also did some photoshoots on my own with all the hair, make up and camera handling done by me alone. I really learnt a lot about it.” The 'Rocky Handsome' actor added, “I also think people will learn to be more cost effective, smart and time efficient.”
When asked if shooting would be a little more challenging with less people on sets, Shruti said, “Yes, it will be challenging with less people, but I also think it will streamline the work, and people will be more focused. I rather see the positives of it since we don't have a choice.” She admits that “it is a scary time to start shooting.”
However, she says, “There are a lot of livelihoods that are dependent on the entertainment industry. It is difficult financially for so many people. So, if we can get back to work carefully and responsibly, I think it is important for everyone.”
