Shruti Haasan says she always gets better roles down South

Shruti Haasan made her debut with 2009 release Luck. The film failed to make a mark at the box office, but Shruti impressed everyone with her performance in it.

The actress has been working in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu films. However, Shruti has done more films down South. Her last Hindi film was Yaara which got a direct-to-digital release on Zee5 a couple of months ago.


Recently, while talking to Mumbai Mirror, the actress revealed that she gets better roles down South. Shruti said, “It’s about balancing Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi films and I always get better roles down South.”

Currently, Shruti has one Bollywood film which is Mahesh Manjrekar’s directorial Power. She will be seen opposite Vidyut Jammwal in the movie, and the shooting of the film was wrapped up last year in December.

While talking about the movie, Shruti told the tabloid, “I love Mahesh’s work, and working with him was memorable. You will even see me do some action in this film too.”

Apart from Power, the actress has two films down South, Krack (Telugu), and Laabam (Tamil). Talking about both the films, the actress said, “Krack is a commercial film but the arc of my character is really interesting. In Laabam, the woman has a very prominent voice. I will be shooting non-stop for the next couple of months to wrap up these two films.”

Riz Ahmed’s 'Hamlet' trailer drops murder suspicion into a South Asian business dynasty

Highlights:

  • Film sets Shakespeare inside a wealthy British South Asian family
  • Directed by Aneil Karia and in cinemas 6 February 2025
  • Cast includes Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Sheeba Chadha and Art Malik

Riz Ahmed has entered Hamlet in a way British cinema has not quite seen. The new Hamlet trailer has been released by Universal, giving the first proper look at Aneil Karia’s modern take on Shakespeare and placing the story inside a British South Asian business empire. It is due in cinemas on 6 February, and the footage shows a tense, controlled Ahmed moving through grief, suspicion and family power.

The film teams Ahmed and Karia again after The Long Goodbye, which won the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short. That success informs this production. This is the first time a major UK studio release has grounded Hamlet within a South Asian household for a wide audience.
