Director Sundar.C.'s ambitious historical fantasy flick 'Sangamithra' is in its pre-production stage and the film is expected to go on floors soon. The film stars Jayam Ravi and Arya in lead roles Shruti Haasan who was initially cast to play the titular character but suddenly she was out of the project. The makers have confirmed that they have found a replacement for Shruti but they are yet to announce the actress's name.

Now we learn that veteran actor Sathyaraj who played a very important role of Kattappa in India's biggest blockbuster 'Baahubali 2' and also its first part 'Baahubali' has been roped in for an important role in 'Sangamithra' too. We will have to wait for an official confirmation about this development. But there is no doubt that Sathyaraj will be a fantastic addition to the star cast of this ambitious historical film that too straight after the 'Baahubali'.

Produced by Sri Thenandal Studios banner. 'Sangamithra' is touted to be the costliest film in India. Oscar winner A.R. Rahman will be providing music score for this flick.
