Adapted from Timeri N. Murari’s bestselling 2004 novel “The Arrangements of Love,” Chennai Story is a coming-of-age romantic comedy set against the backdrop of Wales and India where Haasan takes on the pivotal role of Anu, a spunky private detective
Written and directed by BAFTA winner Philip John, co-written by Nimmi Harasgama, Chennai Story is an English film interspersed with Tamil and Welsh, exploring themes of love, self-expression, and acceptance.
Shruti Haasan shares, “Hailing from Chennai, a story showing the diversity and uniqueness of Chennai is so special to me — collaborating with Phil is something I’m so excited to experience, telling global and rooted stories through international collaboration is what making cinema is all about. I’m all up for Sunitha Tati’s vision of taking a culturally rooted story to an international audience through Chennai Story.”
2024 is really looking promising for the stunning diva. Apart from Chennai Story, Shruti will be seen alongside Adivi Sesh in Dacoit and if rumours are to be believed Shruti Haasan is a part of Rocking Star Yash’s next Toxic which will go on floors soon. Her voice was heard in the announcement teaser of the film.
