Ghajini director signs Shruti Haasan for his next

Filmmaker AR Murugadoss, the man behind the blockbuster ``Ghajini``, has signed Kamal Haasan`s daughter Shruti and Tamil superstar Suriya for his next project.

Suriya, who will soon be making his Bollywood debut, has previously worked with Murugadoss in ``Ghajini``, whose Hindi remake starred superstar Aamir Khan.

Shruti, who made her movie debut with Hindi ``Luck``, has been creating waves not only in Bollywood but also in the South. She had composed the music for ``Unnaipol Oruvan`` and is currently working on a Telegu movie.

The new untitled film with Murugadoss is her debut in Tamil cinema. The music composer for the film is Harris Jayaraj and the cinematographer is Ravi K Chandran.

Udhayanidhi Stalin will produce the movie, which begins shooting this April

Imran recommends Shruti Haasan for LUCK

Shruti Haasan's debut in LUCK is certainly an eagerly awaited one. The young rock star and daughter of the veteran Kamal Haasan is looking stunning and remarkably confident in the promos while her Aazma Luck number is steadily on its ascent.

In fact, Shruti landed herself this multi-starrer thanks to a suggestion by Imran Khan to director Soham Shah.

Confirms Imran, "Shruti and I have known each other since we were 10 or 12. We're friends and get on very well. Soham was keen to cast a new girl and after he gave me a description of what he was looking for, I suggested Shruti. She had the attitude, style and body language that was needed of the character. She was game and flew down from Chennai for an audition. Soham loved her screen test and confirmed her."

Imran isn't sparing in his praise for his good friend. "While my favourite song in LUCK is Khuda Ya Veh, Shruti's rendition of Aazma Luck is fantastic! It's proper rock!"

LUCK releases worldwide on July 24th by Indian Films - Studio 18.
