Sruthi Hariharan has a varied repertoire. The actress has worked with different directors and on diverse subjects.
While she stays rooted in Sandalwood, Sruthi does not miss any opportunity to work in other languages, especially if it gives her a chance to work with a good director.
The actress, who recently completed shoot for Uppi Matte Hutti Ba-Inti Prema, had a wonderful 2016 with plenty of projects. Her 2017 looks equally exciting.
While she is to play opposite Darshan in Prakash Jayaram’s directorial, set to go on floors from Febuary, Sruthi is upbeat about her Tamil film with Rajiv Menon. In it, she will be playing the lead opposite GV Prakash. This yet-to-be titled film, she says, will go on floors from January.
“My last film in Tamil was with Arjun Sarja,” she says, “It was a bilingual in Kannada and Tamil and was shot in the beginning of last year.”
The actor admits that the Tamil film industry was hard to get a break into, despite her fluency in the language.
“I have been busy with projects in Kannada, but it’s not been as easy in Kollywood,” she says.
“I have been part of a Balaji Sakthivel film, which is taking its own time, and we have to go with the flow.
Meanwhile Rajiv Menon’s project is something I am looking forward to. He was one director in my wish list. I am a huge fan of his films, Kandukondain Kandukondain and Minsara Kanavu, which I have grown up watching. Forget working with him, I would be excited even if I am with him on the sets.”
Sruthi is also excited about working with GV Prakash.
“We know the kind of stories GV Prakash gravitates to, the combination of the director and actor will be
riveting. It is a commercial film and will be made in sync sound, another interesting challenge for me,” she says.
