For the uninitiated, Santanu is a doodle artist and entrepreneur. His doodle imagined Kamal Haasan as a warrior, with his Makal Needhi Maim election symbol, the torchlight, in one hand. The Indian 2 star posted the photograph on Instagram and stated that he was ‘battle ready’, while conveying gratitude to Santanu.

Santanu wrote that it was an 'honour' for him, while sharing he was looking forward to the 'change.' Shruti also acknowledged it by posting flame emojis on it. 

Both Shruti and Santanu had recently gone to Chennai. While Santanu did not pose with her father, the Luck star did post a photo, calling Haasan Sr as ‘daddy dearest’. The couple left from Chennai and landed in Mumbai on Sunday.
