Sangamithra is an unfinished Tamil-language historical drama film directed by Sundar C, who co-wrote the screenplay with Subha (a duo), and produced by Thenandal Studio Limited. The film initially starred Shruti Haasan in the titular role, alongside Jayam Ravi, Arya, and Disha Patani.
Sundar was signed by the production house to direct their hundredth venture in mid 2016, with confirmation that July. Announced under the working title Brobdingnagian, several lead actors including Suriya and Vijay were making rounds of portraying in the lead role; until they were dismissed during the official announcement in May 2017. In addition to its official title, Sangamithra, the principal cast and principal crew of composer A. R. Rahman, cinematographer Tirru,[a] art director Sabu Cyril, visual effects supervisor R. C. Kamalakannan, and sound designer Resul Pookutty was revealed the same month. Touted to be made on a budget of ₹250 crore (US$30 million), it would be the most expensive film in the career of Sundar and the production house.
Due to unfinished script and delay of filming schedules, some of the artists opted out and concentrated on other projects. This led to the project getting shelved the year after. In the following years, numerous attempts of a revival was reportedly done by the director and others. Attempts with a few different cast and crew artists were also done. The attempts only resulted in failures. Given up, the remaining artists began working on other projects; including Sundar's Aranmanai 3 and 4 (respectively 2021 and 2024).
