Shruti to debut with Madhavan?

Though several leading producers and directors approached Shruti Haasan with offers to act in their films, the pretty and talented daughter of Kamal Haasan and Sarika had made it clear that she was going to take her own time before making a decision.

Looks like the light-eyed lass has finally succumbed to the lure of tinseltown, and has accepted an offer opposite none other than our favourite chocolate boy, Madhavan.

According to sources, the film will be directed by Nishikanth, the Marathi director who won several awards for his Dombivilli Fast, that was produced by Maddy. Nishikanth is presently remaking the film in Tamil as Evano Oruvan.

It is believed that Shruti was impressed with the storyline and her dad Kamal has also given his nod of approval. The music will be composed by talented trio Shankar-Ehsaan and Loy and the film will be produced by Raju Mahalingam and Subhash Karan under the Gnanam Films banner. Right now, they are producing the film Pirivom Sandhipom with Cheran.

When Shruti was contacted by this newspaper, she neither confirmed nor denied the news, and merely said she did not want to comment on the subject. "A lot of people have approached me with film offers. However, my first priority is music and I am keen on completing my music album which is still under production," she said.
