Seventeen years after the first installment of Rajinikanth’s Chandramukhi, Lyca Productions, who will bankroll the project, announced the sequel to the horror comedy earlier in June. Now the latest buzz is that Trisha Krishnan, the evergreen leading lady of South Indian cinema has been approached to play a pivotal role in the film. However, it is unknown whether the actress has signed on the dotted line yet. An official announcement will be made soon by the makers.
Filmmaker P Vasu, who also directed the first part, will direct the project. The much-awaited sequel is titled Raghava Lawrence and stars actor-comedian Vaigai Puyal Vadivelu, who played the iconic character of Murugesan in the Rajinikanth-starrer. Chandramukhi 2 is in the pre-production stage and will go on floors soon.
MM Keeravani has been roped in to compose the music, while RD Rajasekhar and Thotta Tharani have been tasked with the camera and production design of the film. Mohamed is the editor and Jake Bejoy is the music director.
Before Lyca Productions took over Chandramukhi 2, the sequel was first to be backed by Sun Pictures and was even announced with Raghava Lawrence, after taking Rajinikanth’s blessings. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the project got delayed.
For the unversed, the Tamil film Chandramukhi was a remake of the 1993 Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu, which was remade as Bhool Bhulaiyaa in several languages, including Hindi.
On the work front, Trisha is currently busy shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan. It is likely that she will be seen in a strong role. Additionally, Trisha also has a female-centric thriller titled Ram and The Road with Mohan Lal.
