The latest star teenager on the block ‘Shruti Haasan’ is all set to dazzle the silver screen with her debut in Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.’s film ‘Luck’ directed by Soham Shah. And while there are newbies who shy away from sporting a bikini in their very first movie, Shruti seemed to be game for it Says the debutant, “When Soham narrated the script, I did not even consider the bikini thing as a big deal it was logical to the premise.

While shooting for it, the weather was very odd that day. It was freezing cold, but apart from that it was like any other scene in the film for me.” Informs Director Soham, “Shruti did work-out, to get a toned body. Moreover, she worked hard to maintain it. We shot the sequence in Cape Town. The temperature was only two degrees. She had to brave the icy weather for the shoot.” The director also mentions, “The scene involves Imran Khan, Ravi Kishaan and Mithun Chakraborthy. Shruti was not at all apprehensive of wearing a two-piece swimwear, as she was aware of it from before.”

The scene is necessary as Ravi Kishaan’s character pins his eyes on her.” The styling is done by the director’s wife, Binal Shah who is a fashion designer. She tells, “I bought a plain Babe bikini that fitted Shruti rightly. I then embellished it with mother of pearls in shades of green that matched the night pool ambience.”

Well, for a debutante, Shruti’s self-confidence and enthusiasm are quite inspirational.
