Shruti Hassan spoke about process behind playing an older woman in Yaara
Shruti Hassan has made a mark for herself in tamil, telugu and hindi film industries. Thanks to her choice of scripts and her versatility, she is one of the most prominent personalities in indian cinema. Currently, shruti is excited about the release of Yaara, where she gets to play an older woman for the first time. The crime drama, directed by tigmanshu dhulia and starring vidyut jammwal amit Sadh, vijay varma and Kenny Basumatary apart from Shruti, will start streaming on July 20 on Zee5.
Ahead of the film's release, shruti hassan, in a detailed chat with IndiaToday.in, spoke about the process behind playing an older woman in Yaara, nepotism, her music and youtube channel. I’ve always been a huge fan of Tigmanshu [Dhulia] sir’s work. So, when Yaara was offered to me, I decided that I have to be a part of this. When I met him to discuss my character, I was blown away and couldn’t wait to play it.
As a south indian myself, I’ve taken aback many a time by the portrayal of south indians in films. It’s like people do not make an effort to understand. Therefore, I do not want to make a caricature while playing an older woman. I wanted people to look at my performance and say that she’s done a decent job. That would be a great compliment to me. Definitely, Tigmanshu sir’s inputs were helpful. My own understanding of sukanya of what I want to keep and leave behind also helped me. In terms of prosthetics, I was asked to look at the pictures of my mum [Sarika] and dad [Kamal Haasan] and imitate the contours of their data-faces. I realized the fact that they hadn't aged very much.
