New Delhi, August 28: National award-winning actor-turned director Kamal Hassan says he does not advise his daughter Shruti Hassan on her acting career, as he himself never liked to be advised.
“I have never given any tips or advice to Shruti, as I would not like to be advised at her age. She has taken her own course, she could have very well taken up music instead of acting. If she asks for advice, then probably I could give her some reference points,” says the Tamil superstar.
Shruti made her debut in Bollywood this year with ‘Luck’, which did not do well at the box office and now the multi-talented actress is composing the music for her father’s next film ‘Unnaipol Ooruvan’, a Tamil adaptation of Niraj Pandey’s ‘A Wednesday’. She has also roped in her younger sister Akshara to choreograph a video for the same.
“Shruti is trained in classical music, although she is more into Rock and Jazz. Akshara has just started off, and she has a long way to go,” says the doting father.
Although ‘Unnaipol Ooruvan’ is a remake of ‘A Wednesday’, Hassan insists that his version of the film is different.
“My Wednesday is a different Wednesday, it could be a Thursday or a Friday. India is a democracy and the politics here changes from state to state, so my film is also made with a different rhetoric,” says the actor, who was in the capital to attend a screening of his film ‘Hey Ram’ marking his 50th year in Indian cinema..
