Director Santosh Kondanker’s upcoming trilingual, Home Stay, which stars Shruthi, Ravi Kaale, Sayali Bhagat and Shirin is inspired by the mushrooming of homestays in holiday spots like Coorg. The film will be made in Kannada, Tamil and Hindi and will mark the debut of Shruthi in Bollywood.

Sayali will be playing the female lead in the Kannada and Hindi version, while Shirin will play the lead in the Tamil version of the film. Shruthi, who will feature in all three languages, is reportedly excited as her role has two very different shades — her character is a simple homestay owner who traumatizes the very guests she has been hospitable to earlier in the day.

Shruthi debuted as a supporting actress and acted in the Shivarajkumar-starrer Aasegobba Meesegobba. Her first film as a lead actress was the 1990 film Shruti. The movie was a hit and she hasn’t looked back since.
