Shruti Hassan and Siddhartha head for a splitsville

All is not well between the actor-singer and daughter of Tamil superstar Kamal Haasan, Shruti Haasan, and her boyfriend Siddhartha with whom she had been sharing a live-in relationship. Shruti has moved out of the actor’s home.

The two, who are working together in Telugu film Oh My Friend, are not on talking terms. Siddharth and Shruti shared the screen space together for the first time in a Telugu film titled ‘Anaganaga O Deerudu’ and it was then that they came close to each other. Meanwhile, Shruti is gearing up to take part in the promotional activities of her maiden acting venture in Tamil, ‘7aum Arivu’.

French actor with Preity Zinta in ‘Ishq in Paris.

Preity Zinta has been missing from the silver screen since a long time and she is all set to make a comeback with her maiden home production under her own production company, PZNZ Media. The film is titled ‘Ishq in Paris’ and is written and directed by Prem Soni. Though the director denies it, the rumors are rife that the film is based on a Hollywood love story Before Sunrise which was based on the romance between a young American man and French woman.

Preity will be romancing a renowned French actor in the film but she has made it very sure that his name is kept strictly under wraps. Even the crew hasn’t been informed about him. The film is expected to go on the floor in the first week of November and will be shot mostly in Paris featuring tourist spots like Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum. Preity has taken special permission from the French Government to shoot at various spots with very minimal charges.
