Love story gone awry has Shruti Haasan take on action avatar in Mahesh Manjrekar's next, Power. Vidyut Jammwal plays a gangster in the action drama, while Haasan plays his love interest.
Shruti Haasan
Mahesh Manjrekar's untitled directorial venture starring Shruti Haasan and Vidyut Jammwal has been titled Power. The gangster drama marks the return of the artiste, whose last Bollywood film as director was City Of Gold (2010), in the genre he is best known for.
There was speculation about the fate of the film, which rolled a year ago. Producer Vijay Galani informs, "The film is in post-production. After we announced the project last April, we preferred to wrap up the film and then talk about it. Shooting concluded in December. We had not titled the film as we were keen on a name that would make an impact. There is nothing better than Power." He adds that the unit is eyeing a July release.
