Hardly 10 days after officially launching the first look poster of Sanghamitra at Cannes International Film Festival, the film’s leading lady Shruti Haasan has walked out of the project.
While the exact reasons for Shruti opting out of the film are not known, it’s confirmed by the close sources that the Gabbar Singh actress is not part of the two-part magnum opus that is touted to be made with a staggering Rs 250 Crore budget.
The tri-lingual historic drama also features Jayam Ravi and Arya. The poster saw Shruti Haasan riding a horse with a sword in her hand. The makers had already invested a chunk of money on Shruti. Shruti had been trained in sword fighting in London over the last few weeks.
Directed by Sundar C, Shruti was supposed to play the role of a fierce warrior. Set in 8th century AD, the film will have music by Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman.
