Shruti Haasan recently attended the prestigious Cannes Film Festival to announce her upcoming film, Sangamithra, a period drama. Having represented the film at an international level, it was rather shocking to hear that Shruti has opted out of the film. Her spokesperson confirmed the news, and said:
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 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 nor a proper date calendar. She is currently caught up with promoting her Hindi film Behen Hogi Teri, prep for Sabash Naidu and her musical associations.
Uh-oh! We were really looking forward to see her playing a warrior princess.
