After representing Sangamithra at Cannes 2017, actress Shruti Haasan quits the film. Shruti is no more a part of the film due to “unavoidable circumstances”, the makers of the movie announced on Monday. According to the actress’ spokesperson, she had not “received a proper bound script or a proper date calendar”.
“Due to unavoidable circumstances, we are unable to proceed working with Shruti Haasan in Sangamithra,” read a post on the official Twitter page of the banner Sri Thenandal Films.
Soon after, an official statement from Shruti’s spokesperson was issued.
It read: “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.”
