The Kamal Haasan & Shruti Haasan partnership

Unnaipol Oruvan is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Hey Ram (2000).
The shape of the work
The 2000s account for 60% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Unnaipol Oruvan; the 2010s to Shabhash Kundu. Kamal Haasan acted in every film; Shruti Haasan acted in all of them. Mostly Tamil, with 2 films in Hindi.
Partnership facts
- Kamal cast his own daughter Shruti in 'Hey Ram' (2000) when she was just 14. She played a young girl in a flashback sequence. It was her first ever film appearance.
- Shruti has said in interviews that Kamal never gave her any special treatment on set. She had to audition like everyone else for 'Hey Ram'. He was just 'sir' to her during shoots.
- In 'Shabhash Kundu' (2016), Kamal played a blind man and Shruti played his caretaker. The entire comedy came from her reacting to his physical comedy — she had to time her lines to his deliberate, off-beat movements.
- The father-daughter duo co-wrote the song 'Pudhu Vellai Mazhai' for 'Sabash Naidu' (2017). Kamal wrote the lyrics, Shruti composed the music. It's the only Tamil film song they've ever created together.
- Shruti once said: 'Working with my dad is weird because he's a genius and I'm just trying to keep up. He doesn't let me get away with anything.'
- Kamal and Shruti have never done a press tour together for any of their films. She insists on separate interviews because she doesn't want people to think she's riding his coattails.
