Actor Shruti Haasan has boarded the cast of USA Network’s upcoming series Treadstone, which will be based in the Jason Bourne universe. The studio had ordered a pilot for the series in April this year and later greenlit the project in August, reported Deadline. Haasan, 33, joins Jeremy Irvine and Brian J Smith in the show, which recently started production in Budapest. She will portray Nira Patel, a young woman in Delhi whose waitress job serves as a cover for a dangerous double life as a trained assassin. Ben Smith, a producer of the ‘Bourne’ franchise, has co-created the series with Tim Kring. Apart from Haasan, actors Michelle Forbes, Patrick Fugit, Michael Gaston and Tess Haubrich have also boarded the cast.
