17 years since the original Chandramukhi, starring Rajinikanth, hit screens, a sequel has been announced with Raghava Lawrence in the lead role.

The film’s producer Lyca Productions announced the news on their official Twitter handle.
P Vasu, the director of the first film, will return to helm the sequel which also brings back actor-comedian Vadivelu in a key role. It remains unknown at the moment if the actor will reprise his role from the original.

Other details regarding the plot and the cast of the film are yet to be announced. It is also unclear if Chandramukhi 2 will take its storyline from the recent smash-hit Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 starring Kartik Aaryan, Tabu and Kiara Advani.

The original Bhool Bhulaiyaa was a remake of Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu as well, just like Chandramukhi.
