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.

Imran khan to play in ‘Vagina Monologues’

While most men don’t seem to be too comfortable with the mere mention of V-word, Imran is all geared up to come to terms with the intricacies associated with the female organ for a charity show.

According to reports, the actor will read out a part of the script called ‘My Short Skirt’, read by Marisa Tomei and Mallika Sherawat earlier. “Well, I will read it in third person and a girl will enact it on stage for me. Director Mahabanoo Mody-Kotwal called up Eve Ensler, the writer of the play, and asked her how she felt about adapting the script to include a male actor. If I don’t make a fool of myself, I hope even men will be drawn into the theatre,” Imran told a news daily.

However, Imran confesses that he is nervous about the performance and says, “My friend Sonali Sachdev, who has been part of the cast, asked me if I could do a reading. I have no experience in theatre and wanted to perform for a live audience. Also, it’s a charity show for a battered women’s home. Haseena, the victim of the acid attack, will be there as well. So we are trying to raise funds and create awareness for these women.”
