Cinematographer opts out of Sundar C's Sangamithra

A while ago we had reported about Sri Thenandal Films bankrolling Sundar C's high-budget Sangamithra with actors Jayam Ravi, Arya and Shruthi Haasan in the lead. This film makers also had singed famous Bollywood cinematographer Sudeep Chatterjee who had earlier worked in notable films like Kaabil, Bajirao Mastani, Baby, Dhoom 3 among many others, as a part of the technical crew. Recently, the cinematographer took to his social media page to regrettably inform his inability to be a part of this magnum opus. He wrote

Really sad to step out of #sangamithra @ThenandalFilms owing to the extension of the Padmavati schedule! Love to the gorgeous team.....

It is to be noted here that Chatterjee had signed on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati (starring Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor) way before Sangamithra and the recent attack on the film's director and vandalization of the sets is what's causing the delay in shooting process. Sangamithra also has Oscar winner A.R. Rahman for the music and N.B. Srikanth for the edits.
