I am Pawan's heroine, not her: Shruti Haasan

The last few days have been abuzz with the rumours of Ileana replacing Shruti Haasan in 'Gabbar Singh', which is the Telugu remake of Bollywood superhit 'Dabangg'. However, Shruti says all these baseless reports will not have any impact on her.
"I don't know from where these rumours come from. Any how, they will not affect me as I'm a very positive person. I'm the heroine of Gabbar Singh," said Shruti Haasan.

Shruti Haasan is looking forward to work with Pawan Kalyan for the first time.
"I'm very excited to be part of the film. I think it's going to be a lot of fun and a great learning experience working with Pawan Kalyan. Director Harish Shankar has made elaborate changes to the script to suit the local audience. I like my role very much. You will see a completely new avatar of Shruti Haasan in this film. We will be starting the shoot very soon," she added.
The November schedule of 'Gabbar Singh' has been put off due to Pawan's backache. Pawan will resume shooting from December and the film is slated to release during summer 2012.
