There are speculations that Shruti Haasan might have been roped in to play an important role in Chiranjeevi-starrer Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy, directed by Surender Reddy. However, an official confirmation is awaited. “The makers are in talks with the actor, and she is yet to sign the film,” The Indian Express reported.
Shruti was last seen on the big screen in Srimanthudu (2016). Currrently, she is busy with her concerts and the television show Hello Sago. So even if she agrees to be a part of the project, she will not be paired opposite Chiranjeevi. “Telugu cinema has always been close to Shruti, and she has given stellar performances. So, there are high possibilities that she might consider the offer,” a source said.
Recent reports have suggested that Shruti has been finalised to play the female lead in a film directed by SP Jananathan of Peranmai-fame, starring Vijay Sethupathi. But the status of this untitled film is unknown.
Sye Raa Narasimha Reddy is a biopic on freedom fighter Narasimha Rao from Uyyalawada, Kurnool. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan in a pivotal role.
