Shruti Haasan has
walked out of the mega budget project Sangamithra,which she had launched at the Cannes Film Festival
just days ago.
The actress’s
stint on the French Riviera was much talked about and Sangamithra became a
trending topic when Shruti launched the multi-lingual project at Cannes.
The French film
festival ended on Sunday and
today, we got a piece of news which shocked us.
In a
surprising turn of events, we received a statement from Shruti Haasan where she
announced that she is not a part of Sangamithra anymore.
The official statement reads as follows:
"Shruti has, unfortunately, had to 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."
Now, this seems
like a strange decision. Sangamithra was touted to be the next Baahubali
and any actor would have killed to be the leading star of such a big project.
Also what
surprises us is that Shruti had spent four days at the Cannes Film Festival
promoting the film.
It's a mystery as
to what transpired between Shruti and the makers of the film. Did Shruti not
know beforehand that the project demanded two years of her undivided attention?
Or did the makers of the film drop a bomb on her after their return from Cannes?
We are eagerly
waiting for the answers now!
