'Misinformation Like This...': Shruti Haasan On Rumors That She Missed Waltair Veerayya Event Due To 'Mental Problems'

Shruti Haasan took to Twitter and responded that she had missed the pre-release event of her next film ‘Waltair Veerayya’ because of viral fever.

New Delhi: Shruti Haasan addressed rumours that she missed attending the pre-release event of her next film ‘Waltair Veerayya’ because of her mental condition. Chiranjeevi starred in the Telugu movie ‘Waltair Veerayya’, which also has Ravi Teja in a lengthy cameo role.

Shruti took to Twitter on the eve of the film's release to respond to rumours that she had missed the premiere because of fever. She showed the headlines of news articles and tweeted, “Nice try !! And Thankyou I’m recovering well from my viral fever.”

In another screenshot included in the message, she elaborated on the need for a sensitive conversation on mental health. She wrote, “Ok so here's the thing, misinformation like this and the over dramatisation or flippant handling of such subjects is what makes people afraid to talk about mental health…Guess what? It doesn't work. I will always be a mental health advocate I will always promote taking care of myself in all aspects. Oh and…I had a viral fever so nice try get over yourselves and while you are at it please talk to a therapist. No really, please do.”

Shruti has reportedly been less than active since wrapping up filming in Greece for her forthcoming feature ‘The Eye’. Shruti later said on Instagram, “Thank you for all the love yesterday still so sad I couldn't make it for the grand launch.. rest and recovery mode on and lost of rasam.”

‘Waltair Veerayya’, a film by Naveen Yerneni, Y. Ravi Shankar, and G. K. Mohan, will premiere on January 13. Both the original Telugu and the Hindi dub are premiering in theatres on the same day. In terms of box office competition, it will face up against Veera Simha Reddy.
