Talking about working with Rajinikanth on her upcoming film Coolie, Shruti shared, “My father (Kamal Haasan) and he are like two pillars and faces of Tamil cinema. I always knew him through the lens of the public, and people for some reason thought that I would have grown up around him. I knew him as the superstar, and I knew him from my dad’s lens, but it was very interesting to know him through the filming process.”
She added, “He is a unique mix of characteristics, and he is shrewd and sharp. But he is also very warm, and I even told him that he was very cool to talk to. He is very nice and easy to converse with; he doesn’t carry the gravitas with him. He always brings good energy with him on the set, and everyone is happy to work with him.”
