"This is the first time in Shruti's career that her film is releasing on the same day as her father's film, though the genre and language is different. Shruti is definitely excited about this as it's all within the family," said a source close to Shruti in a statement.

Krish-directed Gabbar Is Back, starring Akshay Kumar, is the official remake of Tamil blockbuster Ramanna.

Senior Haasan-starrer Uttama Villain, which is directed by his best friend and actor Ramesh Aravind, is the story of an eighth century theatre artiste and a modern-day superstar.
