If latest reports are to be believed, choreographer turned actor cum director Raghava Lawrence has been approached to replace superstar Rajinikanth in ‘Chandramukhi’ sequel.

Veteran director P Vasu had created a big sensation with Rajinikanth’s ‘Chandramukhi’ a decade ago. After a spade of flops, Vasu has recently tasted a big success with his Kannada film ‘Shiva Linga’ starring Shivraj Kumar.

Vasu is now making plans to remake ‘Shiva Linga’ in Tamil with ‘Chandramukhi 2’ title. He has already arranged a special screening for a superstar, who was not impressed with it. Hence, Vasu has reportedly approached Raghava Lawrence, who has already made a big name out of him with the blockbuster horror film series, ‘Muni’.

The inclusion of Lawrence will definitely boost the chances of ‘Chandramukhi’ sequel especially after Rajini said no. Actress Anushka has also been approached to play the female lead.

Superstar Rajinikanth’s horror film ‘Chandramukhi’ remains a milestone in his career.

Just when everyone was thinking that Rajini will retire, he bounced back with a resounding hit in Telugu and Tamil. Veteran director P Vasu also became famous across the country with that film. Post that success, Vasu has tasted many flops. His recent Kannada film ‘Shiva Linga’ starring Shivraj Kumar was a saving grace though.

Now, it is heard that Vasu is planning to make a sequel to ‘Chandramukhi’. Well, he had earlier tried to make ‘Nagavalli’ on the lines of Chandramukhi but tasted a disaster. He became very cautious now and wants to recreate the aura of Chandramukhi.

If he can convince Rajini with the story, the film will go on floors right after ‘Robot 2.0’.
