An appearance in Treadstone (2019), followed by British psychological thriller The Eye (2023), and now, Chennai Story—Shruti Haasan is peppering her filmography, dominated by Telugu and Tamil movies, with interesting international projects. Starring in Philip John’s directorial venture was an easy decision for the actor. To her, the story’s setting felt extremely personal. “I grew up in Chennai. Though I haven’t lived there in years, I will always be a Chennai girl at heart. So, to have a film centred on the city was one of the factors that made me say yes,” she smiles.
Haasan, who ended 2023 with a hit in Salaar: Part 1—Ceasefire, finds herself in an exciting phase of her career as she balances her acting commitments with her musical pursuits. Reaching this point hasn’t been easy. “Between 2014 and 2016, I was working on six films at a time. I put acting at the forefront and music on the backburner because the former required discipline. But then it came to a point where I stepped back from the rat race. When I took that break, music returned to the forefront. [Juggling the two is] a battle, but one that I love fighting.”
