After the release of a song on Women’s Day which became an instant chartbuster, the Pawan Kalyan-starrer Vaqeel Saab, a remake of Hindi film Pink, has hit the headlines again, this time for its casting.
The buzz is that the film’s director Sriram Venu has cast Shruti Haasan in an extended cameo in the courtroom drama. As per the narrative, there is a provision for a special role, which comes as a surprise to the audience. The role is the connecting factor for a series of events in the film.
Shruti was one of the female leads in Venu’s 2011 directorial Oh My Friend and the two forged cordial relations, which they have maintained since then. “The film’s producer wanted to project the role as a ‘special appearance’. Since he was also the producer of Oh My Friend, when he approached Shruti for the part, she was quick to accept,” says a source.
