Neil Gaiman to pen musical if Shruti Haasan acts in it

When celebrated British novelist Neil Gaiman responded to a tweet by saying he���d be open to writing a Bollywood musical were actress Shruti Haasan to star in it, it piqued our curiosity. Gaiman, the author of books like Coraline and The Graveyard Book, among many others, has a legion of fans devouring every literary offering from him, but did we just find an unlikely fan of Shruti in him?
So, we dug a little, and managed to get the much-feted Gaiman to shine some light on his statement.Here���s what he had to say: ���We first encountered each other on Twitter about a year or so ago ��� I think I had mentioned how very much I want to visit India, and Shruti offered to help show me the country. She���s an enormous fan of my writing, and has sent me lots of clips, both of her work in films and music, and of things and performers she thought I should see or would enjoy. And I, in turn, have sent her books and things to read ahead of the crowd. She���s a delight ��� really smart and grounded, and her music is remarkable.���
We���ll have to see how his literary sensibilities tie in with Bollywood imperatives, but for now we are hoping that Shruti can set the ball rolling by saying yes!
