Shruti Haasan praises Rajinikanth. Shruti Haasan is currently playing an important role in Super Star Rajinikanth's upcoming project Coolie. The film is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and it stars Nagarjuna, Upendra in important roles.
Now ,speaking to scribes, Shruti Haasan sang praises of Rajinikanth. She said "It was really lovely working with Rajini sir. I definitely learned a lot about why he is the star he is while watching him work, like his discipline with work, his approach to his character, everything was just really fun to watch. But really, I learned a lot from him as a person. And by that, I mean, his attitude on set, it's so positive. He's extremely collaborative. He's very, very humble. But he's also very energetic. He brings such a positive energy onto the set. So I learned a lot about how to deal with people from Rajini sir and that's a lesson I take away."
Talking about her character, Shruti shared "Yeah, I can't reveal much about the character, but I do know that she's extremely simple. She's also complex, but it's a character that I think a lot of people can relate to. And I'm really glad Lokesh gave me that part. I think the challenges during shoot, there weren't many challenges. It was just, I think the challenge was more for the director and the direction team, because there were just so many actors and so many layers to the story. So it was really them. For us, as actors, I think it was so smooth sailing working with Lokesh as a director. He's extremely clear about his vision and he's really a dream to work with as a director."
On starring in Coolie,she said "I've been part of different kinds of projects my entire career, projects like Coolie, which are like massive, huge productions. Also been part of films that are indie like The Eye, which was shot in 27 days on a different kind of budget. But I have to say there isn't really a difference for me. When I walk on a set, it doesn't matter the budget of the film or the scale of the film or how many other actors. My approach to what I have to deliver has always been the same, which is show up, do your best, keep your ears open, keep your mind open and collaborate and be disciplined at your work."
