First
it
was
mom
Sarika
whose
good
offices
were
used
to
launch
daughter
Shruti
Haasan's
career
in
Hindi
cinema.
Now,
apparently
dad
Kamal
Haasan
has
taken
over
the
responsibility.
Shruti's
Hindi
launch
Luck
starred
actor
Imran
Khan,
a
close
family
friend
of
Sarika
and
Shruti.
(Sarika
and
her
two
daughters
used
to
stay
with
Imran's
mom
during
her
earlier
visits
to
Mumbai).
Now,
Ghajini's
director
Murugadoss
has
been
asked
to
create
an
impressive
re-launch
film
for
the
pretty
Shruti
Haasan.
Her
first
attempt
at
stardom
in
Luck
was
a
big
fiasco.
But
now
Shruti
Haasan
is
all
set
to
take
another
attempt
to
make
an
impression
in
Hindi
cinema.
This
time
with
a
film
that
is
being
made
on
her
illustrious
dad
Kamal
Haasan's
home-ground
Tamil
Nadu.
The
story
goes
that
director
A.R.
Murugadoss
had
gone
to
Kamal
Haasan
to
collaborate
on
a
project.
Instead
Kamal
Haasan
suggested
Murugadoss
to
work
with
Shruti,
whose
experience
in
Mumbai
was
far
from
satisfying.
That's
how
Murugadoss
ended
up
signing
Shruti
Haasan
opposite
Suriya
in
the
Tamil
Ezham
Arivu
(The
Seventh
Sense).
Originally
the
film
was
meant
to
be
in
Tamil
and
Telugu.
But
now
a
Hindi
version
is
also
being
made.
Murugadoss
admits
that
The
Seventh
Sense
is
planned
as
a
re-launch
for
Shruti
Haasan
in
Bollywood.
Says
the
director,
"It
is
a
medical
thriller
with
some
of
the
costliest
special
effects
ever
done
in
Southern
cinema.
We
want
to
take
the
sci-fi
to
a
new
level
in
the
South.
Shruti
has
a
very
powerful
role
and
yes,
we're
hoping
it'd
launch
her
career
in
Hindi
cinema".
