SHRUTI OPTS FOR AAMIR

Her breakup with her heartthrob Siddharth was the talk of the town recently. Shruti Haasan, the daughter of universal hero Kamal Haasan, is once again in the news for walking out of Jr NTR’S Tollywood flick Dammu. If unit sources are to be believed, Shruti has opted out of Dammu after signing the movie and even shooting for it.
The reason? It seems that the Luck star is taken in by the comments of none other than Bollywood star Aamir Khan. Aamir Khan reportedly watched Suriya’s 7 Aum Arivu — thanks to director A.R. Murugadoss, and was so impressed by the script that he is keen on remaking it in Hindi. The actor/filmmaker has already tasted success with the remake of Ghajini — which was also directed by Murugadoss.
The intriguing news is that Aamir was also smitten by Shruti’s performance and apparently commented that (just like he chose Asin for his Hindi Ghajini) he would want her on board for the Bollywood version of 7 Aum Arivu. Shruti, who had just commenced shooting for Dammu with Jr NTR, was on cloud nine when she heard about Aamir’s remarks. She suddenly decided to opt out of NTR’s project — probably, to keep her dates free — in the hope of suddenly getting a call from the Lagaan star.
The source also adds that Boyapati Srinu, the director of the film, is miffed with her and is looking for a quick replacement. Yet another source informs us that the film unit is trying to convince Shruti to stay on and complete the film.
