The film, under Sri Thenandal Films banner, unveiled its poster at Cannes this year.

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 the 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 or nor a proper date calendar. She is currently caught up with promoting her film Behen Hogi Teri, prep for Sabash Naidu and her musical associations.

Shruti Haasan’s official statement 

The actress seemed quite excited to play the role of a princess in the period drama and had said it would be every actor’s dream to essay the role.
