Actress Shruti Haasan will be headlining the India-UK film co-production 'Chennai Story.' She said that she is all ready to take forward a culturally-rooted story to an international audience. 'Chennai Story' is an English-language film interspersed with Tamil and Welsh.

Shruti said, "Hailing from Chennai, a story showing the diversity and uniqueness of Chennai is so special to me - collaborating with Phil is something I'm so excited to experience, telling global and rooted stories through international collaboration is what making cinema is all about. I’m all up for Sunitha Tati’s vision of taking a culturally-rooted story to an international audience through 'Chennai Story'."
