Actor Gossip: Like Shruti, Haasan's Royal Look?

Photographer G Venkat Ram brought celebrated artist Raja Ravi Varma's paintings to life for his 2020 calendar.

Eleven personalities, including actors and dancers, turned models for the lensman and dressed up like the muses of Varma's artistic works.

Shruti Haasan features twice in the calendar, and each look is breathtakingly beautiful.

The calendar is part of the Naam Charitable Trust’s fund-raiser and 10th-anniversary celebrations. The trust was started by actor-director Suhasini Maniratnam, and it empowers single women from underserved segments of society.
