Actress Shruti Haasan recently clarified that her father, the legendary Kamal Haasan, remains unaffected by the success or failure of any film. In a revealing interview, Shruti shared that her father is not concerned with the “number game” in the box office, calling it a problem of the new, wealthy generation. She further highlighted that her father’s focus is more on creating impactful work, rather than on the financial figures that often dominate the film industry today.
Shruti was also asked about the underperformance of *Thug Life*, a film directed by the renowned Mani Ratnam. She responded, “Ten years ago, no one cared about box office numbers. My father comes from an era where he would even invest his own money for a film’s success. So, the numbers people focus on today have no bearing on him.” Her insights reflect the stark contrast between the values of earlier generations in cinema compared to the current trend of emphasizing box office success.
The actress also reflected on her father’s influence on her life, saying, “Yes, his influence is always there. But he’s not a shadow that dims my light. He’s like the sun that creates shadows in my life, helping me shine brighter.” Shruti’s heartfelt words have resonated with many on social media, with fans applauding her deep respect for her father’s wisdom and her stance in supporting his values.
