After the exit of multi-talented actress Shruti Haasan from big budget movie Sangamithra, the makers seems to have intensified their search for her replacement in the film. It is heard that the team is in talks with Nayantara, but they are highly likely to finalize the deal with Nayantara.

It is heard that the makers offered a whopping amount to her and asked to give 2 years of call sheet for this big budget flick. Sangamithra is a period drama set in the 8th century AD and is about a queen’s struggles to protect her kingdom.

Jayam Ravi and Arya are set to play the lead role and they have been undergoing rigorous training in horse riding, physical combat and other weapon based martial arts training. Even though there is no official confirmation regarding Nayantara’s casting, she will certainly be a great choice to play the role of princess.

Helmed by Sundar C and produced by Sri Thenandal Films, Sangamithra has been billed as one of the biggest projects of South India.

‘Jayam’ Ravi is said to have given two full years for director Sundar C , something which not many frontline heroes would do, for the shoot of his upcoming film titled as Sangamithra, a period type venture which also has Arya as the other hero.

To be made in Tamil and to be dubbed later in Telugu and Hindi for simultaneous release, the shoot of Sangamithra hasn’t yet commenced. Shruti Haasan recently opted out of the offer to play the title role in the film accusing the makers of not showing her the script. Names of Nayantara, Anushka, and Hansika, are cited as possible replacements though Sundar C hasn’t yet finalized his crew members.

The period-type venture is to be produced at a whopping cost by Sri Thenandal Films. It turns out that Ravi has given call-sheet to star in the film continuously for the next two years. It is for this particular reason that many frontline heroes didn’t take up the role which Ravi eventually took up.

Getting set for her big budget fantasy based tri-lingual drama titled Sangamithra, the gorgeous actress Shruti Haasan is leaving no stone unturned to get every nuance of her character right. All set to be a warrior princess, Shruti is undergoing rigorous physical training for the same in London.

A source close to Shruthi said, “Shruti’s totally gearing up she for her role as Sangamitra. The role is a complex yet fierce character that is believed to be an expert battle fighter. In order to make sure she leaves no stone unturned and gives her performance all it needs, Shruti has been training with a professional sword fighting expert and action choreographer in London.”

The source further added, “He started off training her with basic movements and maneuvers and then brought in the aspect of precision and physical agility. That was accompanied by some intense mind mapping techniques followed by true blue swords men to make sure she had every nuance she needed for a perfect on screen showcase”
