Shruti Hassan is the latest wannabe star to don a bikini. The star kid is taking pains to project herself as a sensuous actress in her debut film,Luck. While most newbies shy away from wearing the bold dress, Shruti says she was always game for it.

"When director Soham Shah narrated the script, I did not even think wearing a bikini was a big thing. It was logical to the script," says the actress.

When asked if she felt uncomfortable doing the bikini shoot, she says: "On the day of the shoot, the weather was weird. It was freezing cold, but apart from that, it was like any other scene in the film for me". "Shruti worked out for the shoot and got in shape. Moreover, she continues her rigorous work out sessions to maintain her toned body. We shot the sequence in Cape Town. The temperature was - 2 degrees Celsius. She had to brave the icy weather for the shoot," says director Soham.

Talking about the shoot, he says: "Besides Shruti, the shot has Imran Khan, Ravi Kishan and Mithun Chakraborty. Shruti was not at all apprehensive about wearing a two-piece. When we told her about the scene, she totally understood it. Not just wearing the bikini, Shruti had to also brave Ravi Kishan's lusty character, who pins his eyes on her in the shoot." The swimsuit has been designed by Soham's wife and fashion designer Binal Shah.

"I bought a plain Bebe bikini that fitted Shruti perfectly. I then embellished it with pearls in shades of green that matched the night pool ambience," she says.

Well, for a debutante, Shruti is surely confident and inspiring.
