Career edit
Shruthi co-starred as Vijay's college mate in the movie Maanbumigu Maanavan in the year 1996.[citation needed] Srilata, a veteran Malayalam comedy actress, passed Shruthi's photo to director K. G. George, who was on the lookout for a fresh teenager, to act alongside Mammootty and Khushbu in Elavamkodu Desam.[4] After acting in this film, she co-starred in Udayapuram Sulthan and Priyam. At the same time, she also entered the Telugu market through the films Veedekkadi Mogudandi? and O Chinadana.[5]
In 2004, her single lead release was Kadhal Dot Com. She went on to do lead roles in Manthiran and Jerry. However, none of her movies shined at the box office and she went unnoticed on account of it.[6]
In 2009, she turned her attention towards small-screen and began her career in the television industry: Thendral, Sun TV's prime time serial, directed by S.Kumaran, became her first project. She, then, acted in Vijay TV's workplace drama Office. She continues to act in lead roles in serials, notably Azhagu [7] and Thalattu on Sun TV.[8]
