Shruti gets ‘Lucky’

Few people know that Imraan the new Khan on the block and Shruti, Kamal Hassan’s big li’l girl are very close childhood buddies. The mothers of the two are apparently very close and they lived together as kids. After Sarika and Kamal split, Shruti and her sister lived at Imraan’s mother Nuzhat’s house.

So…what’s the big deal you ask? Well this is Bollywood and here people can get you places. Shruti Hassan who is a budding singer and wannabe actress had bagged a role in a big Tamil flick. That project unfortunately got canned due to ‘production difficulties’. So her dear friend Imraan put a good word in for Shruti to director Soham Shah, who was looking for a female lead. Soham liked Shruti at first sight, her athletic build fit the character’s bill to the T.

So now, look forward for Luck in 2009…Shruti Ha
