Born into the prominent Haasan family , she is the daughter of actors Kamal Haasan and Sarika .[1] Haasan started her career as a playback singer at the age of six in the 1992 Tamil film Thevar Magan .[2] She later made a cameo appearance in her father's Tamil-Hindi bilingual directorial Hey Ram (2000) as a child artist.[3] Haasan's first major appearance was in the Hindi film Luck (2009), in which she played a dual role of a woman avenging her twin sister's death.[4] She played the female lead in the films Anaganaga O Dheerudu and 7aum Arivu ; both were released in 2011 and together earned her the Best Female Debut – South at the 59th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.[5]
Haasan's subsequent releases Oh My Friend (2011) and 3 (2012) were commercially unsuccessful.[6] [7] The latter earned her a nomination for the Best Actress – Tamil at the 60th Filmfare Awards South ceremony.[8] A turning point came in Haasan's career with Harish Shankar 's commercially successful Telugu film Gabbar Singh (2012).[9] The release was followed by a series of successful films such as Balupu (2013) and Yevadu (2014).[10] [11] She received her first Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu for her performance in Race Gurram (2014).[12]
In 2015, Haasan played the female lead in five films: Gabbar Is Back and Welcome Back in Hindi, Srimanthudu in Telugu, and Puli and Vedalam in Tamil.

The latter, a Telugu remake of the 2015 Malayalam-language film of the same name , drew criticism for Haasan's casting before its release.[17] [18] She played the role of a young college lecturer with a slightly stern approach towards her students.[19] The remake gained positive critical reception,[20] and earned average returns.[21] Her Tamil film Si3 had a delayed theatrical release in 2017; it was a commercial success.[22]
