Teluguone: Hi Shruti, how are you
 
Shruti Hassan (SH): I’m fine and hope the same with you
 
Teluguone: how did you first get the opportunity to act in Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu?
 
SH: Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu director Kovelamudi Prakash came down to Chennai and narrated me the script. I felt the story has a novel theme and I immediately okayed the movie.
 
Teluguone: Did you know that World Disney is producing this movie
 
SH: I don’t know, and we started the movie. But World Disney joined us when the movie already started. That news gave us much thump
 
Teluguone: You dad Kamal Hassan is very close to Telugu audience. So being a daughter of such a great actor, what’s your take on acting in Telugu movies

SH: It’s a wonderful feeling; In fact, I believe dad has bigger fame here in AP than in Tamil Nadu. People here have extended a warm welcome and gave me a good reception. I’m really feeling great.
 
Teluguone: Tell us about your co-star Siddharth?
 
SH: He’s a great co-star to work with. Siddharth is very cooperative and I’ve learnt a lot from him
 
Teluguone: Siddharth said that he learnt acting from your dad Kamal Hassan. And you learnt from Siddharth. Is it like Shruti Hassan learning from dad?
 
SH: Smile :) Yes, you can take that way
 
Teluguone: How was it working with Kovelamudi Prakash Rao
 
SH: Prakash knows what exactly he wants. He is a director of substance and always has clarity in what he makes. 
 
Teluguone: What about the music of Anaganaga Oka Dheerudu
 
SH: There are four music directors who compose music. Each song is situational and elevates the mood of the scene and every song is unique in its way. I’m very happy with the response of the audio.
 
Teluguone: Do you have any offers in Telugu?
 
SH: There are few offers, but they are still in discussion. Its premature to comment on that until they are finalized. 
 
Teluguone: You are also a music director. So what’s the update on that?
 
SH: Currently, my focus is only on acting. But I do concentrate on music at leisure 
 
Teluguone: Alright Shruti Hassan! Thank you very much for your time and we wish good luck for your movie.  
 
SH: My pleasure! I wish all the TelugOne.com views Happy New Year and Happy Pongal!
