The Superstar of Indian cinema Rajinikanth starrer 2005 Tamil comedy horror film Chandramukhi will soon come up with its sequel titled Chandramukhi 2, as the shooting of the film has begun today.

Chandramukhi was a critically acclaimed film that stars Prabhu, Jyothika, Vadivelu and Nayanthara in the lead role. The film was the Tamil remake of 1993’s superhit Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu which was remade in many languages such as in Kannada as Apthamitra (2004), in Hindi as Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007).

A standalone sequel of Chandramukhi titled Nagavalli was made in Telugu in 2010. Now its upcoming Tamil sequel Chandramukhi 2 is also creating a lot of buzz and the expectations are very high from it.

Chandramukhi 2 Star Cast

The film stars actor-filmmaker- choreographer Raghava Lawrence, best known for acting, directing, writing and producing critically acclaimed Kanchana film series, in the lead role.

Along with Raghava Lawrence, the film also stars legendary actor-comedian Vadivelu in the lead role. He is going to reprise his iconic character Murugesan from the first film.

Talking about the female lead, reportedly, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is set to play the titular role- Chandramukhi, a renowned dancer in Kings’s court who’s known for her dancing skills and breathtaking beauty, in the film.

If these claims are to be believed, Chandramukhi will be her second Tamil film after her critically acclaimed biographical drama film Thalaivii, based on the life of later Indian actress-politician Jayalalithaa.

Earlier, actress-producer Jyothika played the role of Chandramukhi in the first film. Now Bollywood queen Kangana Ranaut has grabbed the role of lead female.
