Production banner Lyca Productions announced on Tuesday, June 14 that a sequel of popular Tamil film Chandramukhi, which starred actors Rajinikanth, Prabhu, Jyotika, Vadivelu, Nayanthara, Nassar, and Vineeth among others in pivotal roles, is currently in production. The sequel will feature actors Raghava Lawrence and actor-comedian Vadivelu in the lead roles. Helmed by filmmaker P Vasu, who also helmed the original, Chandramukhi 2 will have music by MM Keeravani, and cinematography by Rajasekar.
“Positive Vibes & Happy Faces all around #Chandramukhi2 starring @offl_Lawrence & Vaigaipuyal #Vadivelu.Directed by #PVasu, music by @mmkeeravaani, cinematography by @RDRajasekar, art by #ThottaTharani, PRO @proyuvraa (sic)j,” Lyca Productions, the production banner bankrolling Chandramukhi 2, tweeted on Tuesday. Notably, choreographer-turned-actor Raghava Lawrence, who is a die-hard Rajinikanth fan, will be stepping into the latter’s shoes in the sequel.
2005 horror film Chandramukhi was the Tamil remake of the popular 1993 Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu. The plot revolves around a woman who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Rajinikanth plays the psychiatrist who solves the hurdles while risking his life. In recent times, the original has received flak for its portrayal of dissociative identity disorder.
