Shruti Haasan, Kamal Haasan and Sarika’s daughter, has landed a role in Mahesh Manjrekar’s untitled gangster drama. She has been shooting in Mumbai and watching her in action recently was mom Sarika.

The yesteryear’s actress paid her daughter a visit on the sets, excited to see her work.

“Sarikaji was really glad to have Shruti expand her horizons as an actor under the guidance of the national award winning director. Mahesh comes with a immensely powerful and respectful reputation as a storyteller. Seeing Shruti in such good hands and being given a part so complex that aids powerful performance made Sarikaji really happy,” said a source on the sets.

Shruti, too, was elated to have her mother close. “Shruti went around, introducing her mom to everyone on set. She was really enjoying having Sarika around and see her work. Shruti is psyched about the role, and believes it’s going to be one that she and her mom will be very proud of.”
