the success of her latest release Baaghi 2
starring Tiger Shroff, is all set to shoot for
her next film Sangamithra. To be helmed by
Sundar C. and produced by Sri Thenandal
Films, the film will also be released in Telugu
and Hindi. Sangamithra, which will also star
Jayam Ravi and Arya, will have music by A.R.
Rahman. The shooting for the period drama
was initially scheduled to begin in January,
but now it will commence from July,
according to a Mumbai Mirror report.
"Shooting will take place in Hyderabad on
sets very similar to Baahubali. It will be
filmed on a grand scale and if everything
goes according to plan, the first part will be
unveiled next year, the report stated.
Furthermore, other reports say that the
training sessions for the action-packed film
have already begun. Disha Patani, who is
familiar with martial arts, will learn sword-
fighting for this multi-starrer.
Earlier, it was being said that Shruti Haasan
would be playing the female lead in
Sangamithra. However, she opted out of the
project soon after the Cannes Film Festival
announcement. Producer Hema Rukmani of
Thenandal Studios Limited confirmed
signing actress Disha. Set in the 8th century
AD, the movie, is a tale of the trials and
tribulations of Sangamithra and her journey
to save her kingdom.
"We are delighted to
have Disha Patani
play the titular role.
'Sangamithra' is our
dream project. It's a
larger-than- life
period film with
great technicians.
Currently, the pre-
production work on
the film is going on
in full swing. We
expect to go on the
floors from December," Hema Rukmani said
in an earlier interview.
