It has been so long since Shruti Haasan was seen on the big screen. Her last film in Telugu was Katamarayudu which was released in 2017. Later, she started dating Britishman Micheal Corsale and also concentrated on her music career. In the meantime, she also made a couple of music albums as well.

Recently, she broke up with her boyfriend and started focussing back on her acting career. She started a film in Tamil with Vijay Sethupathi a few days back. Currently, she is listening to a lot of other scripts as well. Apparently, Shruti wants to do more female-oriented flicks from now on.

These days, many star actresses like Nayanthara, Anushka and Samantha are proving their mettle by scoring blockbusters with lady-oriented films. Though it is a brave idea from Shruti, it would be better if she regains her stardom before going out solo in the market, as she lost all of her popularity with her absence for these two years.

Is Shruti Haasan blaming others for her own shortcomings? We don’t know. But, that is what senior actress Khusboo says about the Haasan girl. Shruti Haasan chose to walk out of the magnum opus ‘Sangamithra’ which is touted to be the biggest ever Indian film made, till date. Khusboo lashed out on Shruti Haasan, calling her as unprofessional for walking out of the project, giving lame reasons.

For a big project like this, it can’t be done without proper planning. So, the script is totally ready but the pre-production work needs a lot of time as 70% of the work on such films is done before the shooting. Khushboo said she expected professionalism from Shruti who carries a legacy (Kamal Haasan’s legacy).

The senior actress didn’t mention Shruti Haasan’s name. However, she made it too obvious for us to guess. Kushboo’s husband director C Sunder is going to helm the project. Jayam Ravi, who is the playing the male lead is preparing himself to bulk up for the role he is going to essay in this film.

Shruti Haasan had a gala time at the Cannes Film Festival this year. First, her upcoming big-budget epic extravaganza Sangamithra was launched at Cannes 2017. Directed by Sundar C, Sangamithra will star Shruti Haasan alongside actors Jayam Ravi and Arya.

With a budget of Rs 250 crore and composer AR Rahman and Baahubali 2 production designer Sabu Cyril on board, Sangamithra is expected to repeat the Baahubali 2 success model at the global box office.

With all of this unfolding at Cannes, Shruti Haasan was exploring the festival with beau Michael Corsale. It turns out Shruti and Michael got a chance to meet eminent fantasy author Neil Gaiman, best known for writing the graphic novel series, Sandman, and the novel American Gods, on which the 2017 TV show of the same name is based.

Father Kamal Haasan tweeted a photo featuring daughter Shruti Haasan, Michael Corsale and Neil Gaiman with the caption, “My baby in Cannes with her other hero. Neil Gaiman. Glad to be in August company.”

However, before Sangamithra hits the screens, Shruti Haasan will be seen in the Bollywood romantic comedy Behen Hogi Teri, alongside actor Rajkummar Rao.
