A wonderful performer of over 100 plus films to her credit, Shruthi plays the role of a mother in ‘Nam Kalyani’ who sells her girl child for Rs.50. This is the truth of some in real life transformed on silver screen by director Vasudev Alur.

Shruthi slashed a few kilograms of weight to look pathetic for this film and the subjected narrated to her is almost the similar one she had in her cupboard. “Has Vasudev Alur stolen my script?”, Shruthi asked jovially addressing the media. The role I am playing is the negative one. I sell the child and later realize the importance of motherhood”, she said.

In fact Shruthi demanded this particular role when Vasudev Alur narrated the script. For Vasu Alur this is more like a real life happening. The first incident he remembers dates back to eight years ago. A just born child was abandoned somewhere near 18th cross Malleswaram and was surrounded by worms he spotted. From that day he started developing his story. Although it is a cinematic presentation there are lot of real life happenings says Vasu Alur.

Vasu Alur came to Kannada cinema industry as clap boy in 1989. He has worked in various capacities and his script writing for censor has crossed 200 films. The knowing of the mind of different directors is itself an experience he says. He has earlier directed ‘Marichike’ that was a bad experience economically for him.
