Shruti Hassan is all sport for bikini in ‘Luck’

Kamal Hassan gave entirely new heights to Indian cinema and his contribution to the entertainment industry cannot be over emphasized. Now, when his daughter Shruti is debuting with Shree Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.’s film ‘Luck’ directed by Soham Shah, it is but obvious that cine goers are looking forward to it.

Shruti has given a bikini scene for the flick and that too without any qualms. Says the sporty female, ”When Soham narrated the script, I did not even consider the bikini thing as a big deal it was logical to the premise. While shooting for it, the weather was very weird that day. It was freezing cold, but apart from that it was like any other scene in the film for me.”

Director Soham praised Shruti saying, ”Shruti did work out to get a toned body. Moreover she worked more hard to maintain it. We shot the sequence in Cape Town. The temperature was only two degrees. She had to brave the icy weather for the shoot.”

‘The scene involves Imran Khan, Ravi Kishaan and Mithun Chakraborthy. Shruti was not at all apprehensive of wearing a two-piece swim wear as she was aware of it from before. The scene is totally justified as Ravi Kishaan’s character pins his eyes on her,” he adds justifying the scene.

Binal Shah, the designer, says about the outfit, ”I bought a plain Bebe bikini that fitted Shruti perfectly. I then embellished it with mother of pearls in shades of green that matched the night pool ambience.”

Wearing Bikini no Big Deal for Sonam!

Sonam Kapoor may have played the demure girlnext-door in Saawariya and Delhi 6, but she has no qualms about wearing a bikini on screen. The reason: “I wear it in real life as well”. Sonam claims since she has worn angarkhas, salwarkameez, jeans, skirts and gunjees, among other things, on screen, she can also sport a bikini if required.

“If my character requires me to be on a beach, I would go for proper swimwear — a bikini,” she says.

The actress, meanwhile, has gone for a makeover for her next film Ayesha , which is dad Anil’s home production. Sonam stars opposite Abhay Deol and will be seen in a stylish avatar in the film.
Ayesha is a modern- day Indian adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel Emma and Sonam plays a high- society girl from Delhi.
We heard Sonam and Abhay are attending workshops for voice modulation to get the diction right.

In fact, the entire cast is attending a workshop by theatre artiste Jayati Bhatia to develop their characters.

Sonam is reportedly spending almost five hours a day in the workshop.
The film goes on the floors in August and will be directed by Rajshri Ojha.
That’s not all. Sonam is also busy working out dates for Dharma Productions’ I Hate Love Stories, directed by Punit Malhotra.

“He is a young, earnest director. It’s a young man’s sweet romantic take on love. It will be a lovely film for Imran (Khan) and me. It is a love story, a date flick,” Sonam had said in an interview recently.
