Shruti Haasan recalls watching Kamal Haasan & filmmaker Singeetham create 'masterpieces'
Mumbai, June 2
Actress Shruti Haasan recently launched the 'Emaindh' track from Singeetham Srinivasa Rao's forthcoming film "Sing Geetham".
Being associated with the project brought back some fond memories for the 'Saalar' actress, who recalled growing up watching her father, legendary actor Kamal Haasan, at work with the celebrated director.
Looking back at her personal connection with Singeetham, Shruti said, "I've had the privilege of watching my Appa work and create masterpieces... Singeetham sir is one such great mind and master."
She further remembered being a witness to Kamal Haasan and Singeetham's deep conversations around films, dialogues, and filmmaking techniques.
"I didn't understand much as a kid, but watching them discuss the movie, the dialogues, the techniques they would employ, and fill the room with a unique fragrance of passion and hard work was a blessing to witness," she recalled.
Shruti also went on to praise the creative spirit of the "wonderfully unique and genius" filmmaker, using the following words: "At 94, Singeetham sir gives us another creation I eagerly await to witness."
She termed his latest film a testament to his tenacity and creativity.
Shruti also revealed the conversation she had with her father after he watched portions of the song and connected with the team of "Sing Geetham".
"He sounded like a family member, so happy to see a brother and a friend win again," she shared.
Extending her best wishes to the entire team, Shruti claimed that it is films like these that remind her what the energy of a true "movie family" looks and feels like.
Backed by Nag Ashwin under the prestigious banner of Vyjayanthi Movies, "Sing Geetham" has Ayaan, Ahilya Bamroo, and Shalini Kondepudi as the leads, along with Thulasi PA, Benarjee, Sivanarayana, and Agu Stanley as the ancillary cast.

This is beautiful, but I wish we saw more of Shruti's own work being discussed here. She's a talented actress in her own right, not just "Kamal Haasan's daughter." The article focuses too much on her father's legacy. Still, the respect she has for Singeetham ji is admirable. Hope the film does well!
"Fragrance of passion and hard work" - what a poetic way to describe those creative sessions! Singeetham Srinivasa Rao is a national treasure. From "Raja Chinna Roja" to "Bruce Lee" - the man has done everything. And Nag Ashwin backing this? After "Kalki 2898 AD", his track record is impeccable. This is going to be special. 🔥
Honestly, I'm more excited about Ayaan and Ahilya Bamroo in the lead! Fresh faces need more platforms. And Shruti's recollection of her childhood is so relatable - my dad is a filmmaker too, and I remember those late-night discussions about scripts. The movie industry really is a family affair. All the best to the team! 🌟
Singeetham garu is a gem. The fact that he's still creating at 94 puts most of us to shame. But I hope the film has a wide release - not just in select theatres. Regional cinema deserves better distribution. Shruti's voiceover for the track must be amazing too, she's got musical genes from both sides!
