Kamal Haasan, who also directed the film.
Shruti Haasan's second song came in
Hey Ram, where she sung the bilingual versions of the title theme,
Rama Rama with her father, in
Hindi and in
Tamil. The album from
Ilayaraaja, which was critically praised, won Haasan accolades for her efforts with reviewers,
Screen India praising that she "has the makings of a good singer, and with some training she should go great guns".
Shruti Haasan, has most recently sung in a Tamil film,for
Gautham Menon's
Vaaranam Aayiram under the composition of
Harris Jayaraj. As of July 2007, Haasan is also midway through her untitled debut album, which she's composed, written and sung, and is set for release in mid-2008.
Acting
After pursuing a career in singing, Shruti Haasan branched out a career into modelling. She started by starring appearing in the
Frappe! magazine version of September 2007, since then her opportunities have been limited.
In 2000, Haasan made her cinematic debut in the
Tamil and
Hindi bilingual film,
Hey Ram, directed by her dad. She made a
cameo appearance as the daughter of
Vallabhai Patel in the
biopic of
Mahatma Gandhi.
After rejecting prominent film offers, most notably the lead role in Venkat Prabhu's
Saroja, reports suggested in late 2007 that Haasan was set to make her full debut as a heroine in 2008 with a movie opposite
Madhavan directed by
Nishikanth Kamath. Despite Madhavan admitting that the news "was premature", she signed up to the film, which was titled,
Endrendrum Punnagai, only to be stalled prior to production.
