Hyderabad: Shruti Haasan has been making it to the headlines, thanks to her much-awaited upcoming Amazon Original series, ‘Bestseller’. The intelligent and gripping psychological thriller is a perfect blend of suspense and drama and will premiere on February 18. It features an ensemble star cast, including Shruti, Mithun Chakraborty, Arjan Bajwa, Gauahar Khan, Satyajeet Dubey, and Sonalee Kulkarni in prominent roles.

‘Bestseller’ is produced by Siddharth Malhotra’s Alchemy Production LLP and directed by Mukul Abhyankar. “I am thrilled that ‘Bestseller’ is my full-feature digital debut,” said Shruti Haasan.

“When Siddharth Malhotra reached out to me for ‘Bestseller’, I was working on a number of projects and wasn’t sure if I could make this commitment, but the moment I went through the script, I couldn’t put it down. I was hooked to the layers in the story and found my character so compelling, that I just had to do it. I always wanted to enter this space with a female lead story and it was an amazing opportunity to play a character I couldn’t pass up. I have worked hard to prepare for my role and I am really looking forward to seeing the audience’s reaction to the series.”

Meanwhile, when Shruti recently indulged in an interactive session on social media, the ‘Salaar’ actor was asked if she speaks Hindi because she is from South India. Sharing a video of her miffed, Shruti said, “List of things you probably shouldn’t do around me. One is asking me, ‘Aap Hindi bol payengi kya you’re from the South na,’ as if it’s a different planet. We’re all making movies; we’re all working hard, no time for prejudice in 2022 (sic).”

Shruti had, in fact, made her acting debut in the film industry with the Hindi movie ‘Luck’, in which she starred opposite Imran Khan.
