Following her breakup with Santanu Hazarika, there has been growing discussion in film circles about whether Shruti Haasan is being offered roles that fail to give her a distinct identity. Although she appeared alongside Superstar Rajinikanth in ‘Coolie’, Pooja Hegde, who featured in a three-minute special song, reportedly grabbed more attention. Shruti also appeared in a special song in ‘Peddi’, but her presence was overshadowed by Janhvi Kapoor. With the film failing to make an impact, Shruti reportedly did not receive the recognition she might have expected.
Shruti Haasan currently has two films in her lineup. She is part of ‘Train’, directed by Mysskin and starring Vijay Sethupathi. Although the film was completed some time ago, it is finally gearing up for release. The makers recently released a behind-the-scenes video, but Shruti was barely seen in it. This has led to speculation about whether her role is limited despite being presented as part of the film’s cast.
After ‘Salaar’, Shruti has not appeared in a full-length Telugu role, but she is playing a key part in Dulquer Salmaan’s ‘Aakasamlo Oka Taara’. The film recently released its first song, while Satvika Veeravalli is said to be the main female lead. With the movie expected to hit the screens soon, the big question is whether Shruti will finally get a strong, identity-defining role or once again be limited to a supporting appearance.
