When acting is in your genes, it is but eventual that it'll show one day or the other. Such is the case with most star kids and why would the kin of Tamil cinema's most celebrated actor ever fall behind.

Shruti Haasan is the one, who is the latest from the bastion of star kids, to have acceded to relentless requests from the who's who of the fraternity.

It was only recently that she had turned down a request from Venkat Prabhu, son of musician Gangai Amaran and director of this year’s super hit Chennai 600028, to star in his next project Ezhu.

She had been showing great interest in music and was seriously contemplating releasing a music album on her own. She had even crooned for Mallika Sherawat in her dad's magnum opus Dasavatharam. However, despite all this, the multi faceted youngster has finally acceded to the offer from actor Madhavan to act in his next project to be produced by Gnanam Films, the production house presently working on Karu. Pazhaniappan's Pirivom Santhippom. She will be starring opposite Madhavan in this untitled project to be directed by Nishikanth Kamath, director of Madhavan's soon-to-be released Evano Oruvan. Work on this film will start after the release of Evano Oruvan next month and it is tentatively scheduled to hit the floors in January '08. The makers are busy narrowing on an appropriate title for this movie. That Madhavan's a close friend of her dad Kamal Haasan is noteworthy. Guess no one can escape from being smitten by the acting bug.
