The magnum opus Sangamithra was launched week at the Cannes Film Festival. The team has now had a surprising change. Shurti Haasan who was supposed to play the titular role in the movie will not be a part of this epic project.

The exact reason behind such a big change is still not known. The producer of Sangamithra, Thenandal Studios Limited confirmed the news through their official Twitter space,

“Due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to proceed working with Shruti Haasan in Sangamithra.”

Sangamithra is a historical period drama, directed by Sundar C. The movie features Arya and Jayam Ravi in the lead roles. Sangamithra was officially launched recently at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
