Kidnapped: Shruti Haasan or Akshara Haasan?

On the eve of completing 40 years in film industry, Universal Star Kamal Haasan spoke in length on an interview to a prominent channel. One special attraction of this interview was he revealed his favorite 70 best movies that released across various languages in India, of which one was his own Mahanadi from early 90s.

Mahanadi story was written by maverick actor himself who attributes a personal incident of his life inspired him to pen this story.

Just before Mahanadi was under story discussion, one worker from at house planned to kidnap Kamal Haasan’s daughter. However, Kamal was able to rescue his daughter as he was alerted by security staff.

‘Though I was initially furious about the incident and wanted to teach a befitting lesson to the accused, I chose to act in a matured way and made it into Mahanadi,’ says Kamal.

One incident in Kamal’s life gave birth to Mahanadi. After Mahanadi release, the film received appreciation from all quarters and was undoubtedly one of the best in career.

Well, Kamal did not mention on which daughter was kidnapped… is it Shruti Haasan or Akshara?
