Shruti Haasan walks out of Sundar C’s Sangamithra

In a surprise announcement, Thenandal Films revealed yesterday that Shruti Haasan will not be part of Sangamithra directed by Sundar C. “Due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to proceed working with Shruti Haasan in Sangamithra,” read a tweet from Thenandal Films.

Soon after, Shruti Haasan’s spokesperson released an official statement saying, “Shruti has had to, unfortunately, take a call not to be part of Sangamithra. Knowing it was a massive undertaking and a long commitment spanning over 2 years, she knew the importance of her training, a comprehensive script and proper date calendar. She hired and started training with one of best combat trainers April onwards to make sure she was ready in time for the shoot. Despite her enthusiasm and commitment to Sangamithra, she has had to give the film a miss since she had not received a proper bound script or nor a proper date calendar. She is currently caught up with promoting her film Behen Hogi Teri, prep for Sabaash Naidu and her musical associations.”
