" Yeh To Plastic Surgery Ki...": How Shruti Haasan Paid The Price For Being Honest About Cosmetic Procedures
That is why Shruti Haasan stands out. The actor and musician has never been afraid of speaking her mind. She has been candid about her own choices, including cosmetic procedures, and she continues to face both appreciation and criticism for that honesty.
What
In a recent conversation with THR India, Shruti recalled how her openness was met with some pretty harsh remarks. "When I spoke up, I got comments like, ' Oh, yeh to plastic surgery ki dukaan hai ' (Oh, she is all plastic). But I know what and how much I have done, and how much more others have. That's the price you pay for honesty. It is okay. And I never promote it. This is my choice,' she said.
For Shruti Haasan, the bigger issue is not the procedure itself but the double standards around beauty and authenticity. She pointed out that her choices are personal, not a message for others to follow.
The actress summed it up in a way only she could: 'In love, in life, in work, fingers will always be pointed at you for blowing the whistle or speaking the truth or calling something out for what it is. But what a good price to pay.'
On the work front, Shruti Haasan's latest film Coolie is running successfully in cinema halls. The film, headlined by Rajinikanth, also features Nagarjuna in a key role. Up next, the actress is expected to appear in Train alongside Vijay Sethupathi. Shruti also has Salaar Part 2 in the pipeline.

Is Kaithi 2 pushed back due to Lokesh Kanagaraj's upcoming projects? Karthi reportedly in talks for new film with Sundar C
Karthi is currently gearing up for the shoot of his film Marshal, directed by Tamizh. While the actor was initially expected to begin filming Kaithi 2 in 2026, it looks like the sequel might once again get postponed, with the Siruthai star likely to allot his dates to director Sundar C instead. Is Karthi giving his dates to Sundar C, as Lokesh Kanagaraj's Kaithi 2 might get delayed? According to a report by Valai Pechu, as Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to direct a movie starring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan together, Kaithi 2 could be delayed. With this development potentially freeing up Karthi's schedule, the actor is expected to reallocate his dates to director Sundar C. However, as of now, this remains unconfirmed by the makers and is purely speculative. If the report turns out to be true, the new project may begin filming in December 2025. Why is Kaithi 2 speculated to be delayed? Initially, it was reported that Kaithi 2 would begin production after Lokesh Kanagaraj completed his debut film as a lead, directed by Arun Matheswaran. However, recent buzz suggests that the Coolie filmmaker has pitched a dual hero film to Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, with both of them reportedly responding positively to it. If reports are accurate, then the dual hero project will go on floors once Lokesh wraps up his acting debut. This inadvertently leads to Kaithi 2 being delayed further. However, no official announcement has been made yet. More details about Kaithi 2 Kaithi 2 is the sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Kaithi, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The first venture featured the story of an ex-convict, Dilli, who is forced to help a police officer as a mafia group is hot on their heels. With Karthi in the lead role, the movie features an ensemble cast of actors like Narain, Arjun Das, Harish Uthaman, George Maryan, and many more in pivotal roles. The action thriller marked the first installment in the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), which was later expanded by Kamal Haasan's Vikram and Leo, starring Thalapathy Vijay. Karthi's next releases Karthi is expected to next hit the big screens with his movie, Vaa Vaathiyaar. Originally planned for Pongal, the film was postponed for undisclosed reasons and is now likely to be released by the end of 2025. Looking ahead, the actor has the sequel film Sardar 2 in post-production. However, an official release date for the PS Mithran directorial hasn't been specified.

Coolie Extended Week 1 India Box Office Estimates: Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj's crime-drama grosses an average Rs 261 crore in 8 days
Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and starring Rajinikanth, fell flat at the box office after its extended opening weekend at the India box office, where it shattered all existing Kollywood records. After packing an India weekend in the range of Rs 220 crore, the movie started falling freely, to a point where the day 8 estimated collections are Rs 5.50 crore. Coolie Adds Around Rs 5.50 Crore On Day 8, To End Extended Week 1 Grossing Rs 261 Crore Coolie 's total collections after its extended week 1 stand at Rs 261 crore, and a lifetime of Rs 300 crore seems almost impossible. With a good word of mouth, the movie could have broken past the Rs 400 crore India gross mark with ease, but that has not happened. Coolie has shown what mixed to negative word of mouth can do to your film. The Day Wise India Box Office Collection of Coolie is as follows: Day Gross Thursday Rs. 75.50 cr. Friday Rs. 63.00 cr. Saturday Rs. 46.25 cr. Sunday Rs. 40.50 cr. Monday Rs. 13.00 cr. Tuesday Rs. 10.00 cr. Wednesday Rs. 7.25 cr. Thursday Rs 5.50 cr. (est) Total Rs. 261 cr. gross in 8 days Coolie Looks To End Its Global Run Under Rs 500 Crore Worldwide The collections of Coolie from the overseas box office also leave a lot left to be desired. The movie, after a record opening of USD 8 million and an exceptional weekend of USD 16.75 million, looked set for a finish in the north of USD 25 million. But the frequent drops over the weekdays, have put, even a finish of USD 20 million in jeopardy. A film that was expected to be an all time record Kollywood grosser at the worldwide box office, will end as the 5th or 6th highest grossing film, only due to the word of mouth. Coolie should be a lesson for Kollywood filmmakers, about the extent to which their movie can be affected if it gets underwhelming word of mouth. If collections are seen standalone, a Tamil movie ending up doing over Rs 450 crore worldwide is no small feat. But when you realise that the distributors purchased the film for a ratio of Rs 600 crore, you realise that the movie has severely underperformed. Coolie In Theatres
