Says an industry trade source,

Gabbar was a litmus test for Shruti Haasan who’s proved her mettle with numbers as good at 13 cr on day 1. Gabbar has been getting a superb response in the single screens where the film is running packed houses. It sure paves the way for her forthcoming films which combine commercial and content driven cinema. She’s got an interesting line up and people have been talking about her as a name to watch out from a numbers point of view, especially given the fact that she is the only actress today who promises a pan India market due to her popularity in the South.”

 

Well looks like Miss Haasan is slowly but surely making her way into the big league, a space she deserves but hasn’t got to as yet. Who knows, she may even be this years first 100 crore actress.
