"She is doing her work to the best of her knowledge and to the best of my knowledge. I will admit that there was a moment of worry for both Shruti and me but now the worrying part is over. Now, it is all about developing it to the correct pitch. That is our only concern now," Kamal Haasan said.
The Vishwaroopam star's other daughter, Akshara, is also set to make her debut with R Balki's next film opposite Tamil star Dhanush, who made his Bollywood debut with Ranjhanaa. The film also features Amitabh Bachchan.

"I give very little or no input at all. It is mostly the DNA. Rest is their talent. I have no contribution in training them as actors or guiding them how to shape their careers. They will have to figure that out by themselves," he said.
