Shruti Haasan Lauds South Cinema’s Humility, Rebuts Surgery Trolling as Coolie Booms

The THR interview ties her views on humility to Coolie’s strong, variably reported grosses.

Overview

  • Synthesis of her THR remarks says South Indian stars stay humble and god-fearing, with some fearing divine blessings could recede if pride creeps in.
  • She describes set rituals such as morning coconuts and deity photos, plus strict conduct rules and a modest ethos even among the wealthy.
  • Haasan frames her approach through early musical training, calling actors ‘vessels’ for the art rather than its source.
  • Responding to trolling over cosmetic procedures, she notes being called a ‘plastic surgery ki dukaan’ and defends her choices as private and the ‘price’ of honesty.
  • Coverage pairs her comments with Coolie’s commercial momentum since its August 14 release, with some outlets reporting over ₹400 crore worldwide and others citing roughly ₹200 crore in early domestic earnings.
