Actor Shruti Haasan took to Twitter lately to clarify her recent comments on being part of commercial films in the south. In a recent interview, Shruti opened up about her absence from Bollywood and her choice of cinema over the years. She went on to say, “I no longer listen to people who say we need to do only commercial films. I've been a part of some blockbusters, but didn't have a great time doing them. I am making more honest choices now.”

Her comments soon roped in a wave of criticism online with many saying her words made it seem she didn't enjoy being part of commercial films like 'Gabbar Singh' and 'Race Gurram'. Shruti took to Twitter to clarify. She wrote, “Certain Telugu publications have misinterpreted a quote from a national interview I gave and are writing articles that are untrue. Just to clarify I am extremely proud of having been a part of films like Race Gurram and Gabbar Singh- GS with Pawan Kalyan Garu was life changing”.

“Being a part of the Telugu and South Indian film industry is a part of my heart, truly. That interview was given in context to the Hindi films I did and perception of north V south in Indian films which in itself I’ve never liked - hope that clears things up for everyone,” she added.

On the work front, Shruti has a project each in Tamil, and Telugu in her kitty. She will be seen in Vijay Sethupathi's 'Laabam', and will reunite with Ravi Teja for upcoming Telugu actioner 'Krack'.
