Shruti Haasan holding up Kamal Haasan's film

Now that Kamal Haasan’s multiple-fractured leg has finally healed, the tri-lingual Hindi-Tamil-Telugu comedy Shabash Kundu is all set to be completed — almost. The leading lady of the film, Shruti Haasan needs to make the time to complete her dad’s delayed project.

Says Kamal with a chuckle, “Three versions of Shabash Kundu have a few weeks of shoot left in India and abroad, which we intend to finish by August 2017. It involves a few Hollywood actors along with Indian stars. The busiest one however, is Shruti. Fortunately I have some connections with her which can put us on priority.”

Kamal is a proud dad when he says, “Shruti is a professional and a star-child. Both Sarikaji and I were actors from our childhood. Unlike her parents who walked with apprehension, Shruti is a star already. I am only used to directing actors. Shruti is both a star and an actor, to my surprise.”
