Can Shruti Beat Anushka?

After Arundhathi, the character which will have golden lining in Anushka’s entire career will be of Deva Sena from Baahubali series. Following on Sweety footsteps, here comes the hottest and happening Shruti Hasan playing the pivotal female central lead in period saga Sanghamitra to be made on a budget higher than Baahubali.

‘Period saga is the biggest film for any actor in their career. I am excited and very much eager to begin the work on Sanghamitra. I play a warrior princess, extremely strong in character. It is easily a dream role any actress would love to accept. Only few get such rare chances and I feel very lucky. I can’t wait for the whole script come to life.

I underwent lot of martial arts, sword fighting and horse riding training as preparation for the role. Set in 8th century backdrop, whole story is based on a fictional princess named Sanghamitra to be played by me. She sets on a journey to save kingdom from enemies,’ Shruti Hasan said while speaking at Cannes.      

What needs to be seen from now on is how far Shruti mesmerizes our audience still drooling in the influential clutches of Deva Sena aka Anushka? Has she got that grace in her?
