When the duo met, they clicked instantly. Apart from the fact that he made India's first rock film and she is a rock chica, they had a lot more in common.u00a0u00a0

Opposites attract
Says a source, "Gattu and Shruti are definitely interested in each other but it's too early to say if they will date. Shruti, who is somewhat of a wild child, was charmed by Gattu, who is known to be mature and balanced for his age. Gattu, too, in his way has always been attracted to beautiful, intelligent women who are known to be strong-willed. His list of women include Twinkle Khanna, Raveena Tandon and Pooja Bhatt. And Shruti seems to be his type of girl."
Testing the waters
Elaborating on the Gattu-Shruti friendship the source adds, "Right now, they are testing the waters. They've stayed in touch after that first meeting and they often chat and exchange text messages. They are just getting to know each other and have been communicating regularly on Facebook as well. But both are being extremely cautious about their friendship right now even the normally straightforward Shruti, who loves to talk on anything and everything, is being guarded."
Gattu denies that he is in talks with Shruti for his film, "That's news to me," he says and adds that he met her through an agent a few months ago. "I barely know her and haven't been in touch with her. Currently, I am single and working with Ubali Choudhury, on the drafts of my next film, which is based on Chetan Bhagat's 3 Mistakes Of My Life."u00a0
He insists she isn't in consideration for his film, but he's all praise for the actress who makes her debut in Luck, "Shruti has a great personality and is very talented. I am sure she will do very well in her career. I have seen her in the Luck promos and liked them. She looks very promising and sings beautifully."
Unfortunately...
Shruti, too, denies being in talks with Gattu for a role, "I am not in talks with Gattu for any film. I haven't gone on a date with Gattu or anybody else for a long time.
Unfortunately, I don't know Gattu very well." Unfortunately? "I loved Rock On!! Gattu is a very talented director and I would love to work with someone as talented as him."
Five minutes later, her publicist called us up to say that Shruti hasn't met Gattu at all in the last six months and that they are not in touch with each other at all. They last chatted with each other on Facebook on July 5.
A poem by Shruti that she marked for Gattu on Facebook...
Did I ever tell you?
Tell you why I'm here?
This place this state of mind
Did I say it enough?
The fact that I'm so happy to be alive..
Did you close the door?
To every single paart inside
Did you lose the key?
And now you depend only on time and healing
Did I ever say?
That I've always loved you so..
The strangers lovers and friends
That I never really knew
How could I ever forget
That I burn the candle
Both ends flaming bright
Did I ever cry?
over spilled lies?
Did I ever tell you that I never found the way
But I always found a hand
I hope you understand
That life was never meant to be this way
Not unless you meant it.
