The cast and crew of Sangamithra was at the 70th Cannes International Film festival to reveal the first look of the film. The event was a stupendous success with Sangamithra garnering so much attention. Shruti Haasan, Jayam Ravi, Arti Ravi, Khushbu Sundar and Sangamithra director Sundar C were present at the prestigious film festival and were in the headlines across the globe. But the latest buzz about Sangamithra will be a let-down for all the hype created around the period film.
The producers of Sangamithra, Sri Thenandal Films made an official announcement that Shruti Haasan will no longer be a a part of this period film. A message on their official social networking page read – “Due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to proceed working with Shruti Haasan in Sangamithra.”
Due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to proceed working with Shruti Haasan in Sangamithra.

This comes a shocker to the film circles in Tamil since there was so much hype around Sangamithra at The Cannes. The makers had unveiled the first look posters of Shruti Haasan from the film which created a lot of excitement around the film.
The producers did not mention the reason as to why she wouldn’t be a part of the film. The rest of the cast including director Sundar C and Shruti Haasan haven’t yet responded to this news.
According to earlier reports, Shruti Haasan was the first choice for the role in Sangamithtra. Shruti Haasan even went to the extent of learning the sword fight Silambam. The actress was being widely praised for her efforts to get into the skin of her character.

Anushka Shetty or Deepika, please. Anushka because she just has that regal look and plays larger than life characters really well. Or Deepika, because she also has that regal look plus she has that pan-India star power.

Haha Please cast Katrina…so that the world can see that even a horse can act better than Kat.

She is a really bad actress and has gone overboard with the surgeries too. There are other actresses who would be far more suitable for a role like this.

Do you know the difference between PR and fans? What benefit will Deepika get if her PR posts anonymous comments on a website like PV? It’s not like the director’s gonna go, Ohhhh one comment wants Deepika in our movie, let’s cast her just based on that.
