Adah Sharma steps into Shruti Haasan's shoes

Adah Sharma will step into home territory with a guest appearance in Idhu Namma Aalu.

The film is her first in her mother tongue Tamil, and she's very excited!

"I am from Tamil Nadu," she says. "It's my first film in the language I grew up speaking, and it's a dance number with Simbu. So I am very excited!"

Adah reveals that the song in Idhu Namma Aalu was first offered to Shruti Haasan.

"It was always meant to be a special appearance: a song, and a few scenes. When it eventually came my way, I said yes without a second thought. I love dancing!" she says.

She hopes this will lead to a full-fledged starring role in a Tamil film.

"People still remember me in 1920 and after that, in Haseen Toh Phasee. I will be doing another Hindi film soon. I knew no one in the Hindi or Telugu film industry when I was offered films. I am proud to have achieved what I have on my own," she says.
