Gorgeous beauty Shruti Haasan, who is currently basking in the success of Suriya’s ‘S3’ has reportedly been roped in as the female lead in the costliest film to be made in India.
Tamil director Sundar C has already announced his ambitious project titled ‘Sanghamitra’. To be made on Rs 400 Cr budget, this film has Tamil heroes Arya and Jayam Ravi on board.
Shruti Haasan has now been roped in because of her popularity in Telugu, Tamil and Hindi film industries. Her addition is expected to add huge value to the film having less popular names like Arya and Ravi.
When Sundar C, who generally makes medium budgeted commercial films, has revealed his plans of making Sanghamitra with Rs 400 Cr budget, no one had faith in him. But, he succeeded in pooling the funds and announced the project in a grand manner. Although the likes of Vijay and Suriya were considered initially, they turned down the film for reasons best known to them.
AR Rahman will score music for this mega budget film, which is costlier than even Shankar-Rajni’s ‘2.0’, which was allotted Rs 350 Cr budget. Sundar has been working on the script for two years. He is planing to take the project on to floors in April this year.
