There were a few rumours recently, saying that Sundar.C's magnum opus, Sangamithra, was dropped. However, the Ullathai Allitha director has officially clarified that the project is very much on, during the press meet of Kalakalappu 2, this morning.
Sundar.C said, "Sangamithra is definitely not dropped. A film of that grandness and scale needs a perfect planning, and we, as a team, have been working on the pre-production for the past one year. For Kalakalappu 2 type of film, after completing the script, we can immediately go for the shoot. But, for Sangamithra, you need to have a proper storyboard, asset creation, before going for the shoot. So, our team is working on that.
We are hoping to start the shoot from April or May, this year. Shooting is comparatively easy for Sangamithra than the pre-production. For these kinds of films, usually graphics work will be done only after shooting, whereas, for Sangamithra, graphics work has already started, and keeping the digital images reference, we'd shoot."
Funded by Thenandal Studios Limited, Sangamithra, stars Jayam Ravi, Arya and Disha Patani in the lead roles, with music by A.R.Rahman.
