Shruti Haasan is an Indian actress and singer who works in Telugu , Hindi and Tamil films.[ 1] She started her career as a playback singer at the age of six in the 1992 Tamil film Thevar Magan .[ 2] She had a brief role in her father, Kamal Haasan 's Tamil-Hindi directorial Hey Ram (2000) as a child artist.[ 3] Haasan's first major appearance was in the Hindi film Luck (2009), in which she played a dual role of a woman avenging her twin sister's death.[ 4] She played the female lead in the films Anaganaga O Dheerudu and 7aum Arivu ; both were released in 2011 and together earned her the Best Female Debut – South at the 59th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.[ 5]
Haasan in 2014
Haasan's subsequent releases Oh My Friend (2011) and 3 (2012) were commercially unsuccessful.[ 6] [ 7] The latter earned her a nomination for the Best Actress – Tamil at the 60th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.[ 8] A turning point came in Haasan's career with Harish Shankar 's commercially successful Telugu film Gabbar Singh (2012).[ 9] The release was followed by a series of successful films such as Balupu (2013) and Yevadu (2014).[ 10] [ 11] She received her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu for her performance in Race Gurram (2014).[ 12]
In 2015, Haasan played the female lead in five films: Gabbar Is Back and Welcome Back in Hindi, Srimanthudu in Telugu, and Puli and Vedalam in Tamil. Except Puli , the rest of the releases achieved commercial success.[ 13] [ 14] [ 15] She earned a nomination for the Best Actress – Telugu award at the 63rd Filmfare Awards South ceremony for her performance in Srimanthudu .[ 16] The following year, she had two releases: Rocky Handsome and Premam . The latter, a Telugu remake of the 2015 Malayalam-language film of the same name , drew criticism for Haasan's casting before its release.[ 17] [ 18] She played the role of a young college lecturer with a slightly stern approach towards her students.[ 19] The remake gained positive critical reception,[ 20] and earned average returns.[ 21] Her Tamil film Si3 had a delayed theatrical release in 2017; it was a commercial success.[ 22]
