Sruthi debuted in cinema via a minor role in 'Hey Ram', a movie written, directed, and played by her dad Kamal Haasan in 2000.

While Thalapathy Vijay's children, Divya and Sanjay, have yet to enter the cinema industry as full-time actors, the duo has already made screen appearances along with their dad in his famous movies.
