The Padmashri and four times National Award-winning actor Kangana Ranaut has signed yet another grand entertainer. The actress has signed up to play the role of Chandramukhi. The actress will be seen playing the title role in the iconic blockbuster sequel of Chandramukhi, helmed by P. Vasu. The 2005 release had Rajanikanth and Jyothika Saravanan.

Kangana Ranaut will be seen playing the role of Chandramukhi, a world-renowned dancer in the King’s court who’s known for her dancing skills and breathtaking beauty. Tamil actor Raghava Lawrence will be seen opposite Kangana Ranaut. Adding curiosity is the sketch made by costume designer Neeta Lulla, an acclaimed National award winner for multiple films.

When contacted Neeta Lulla mentioned, “To create a character who is the epitome of grace in every Adaa, Her looks, her hair, her stance and walk exude and portray the spirit of dance. To me that is Chandramukhi. The film is going to be a beautiful yet challenging experience. I’m very excited to be working again with Kangana on this project, her sheer strength as an actor lies in the ability to lose herself to the character she is playing. Can’t wait to see what amalgamates in Chandramukhi 2″.

As per a source, “Kangana will start shootings the first schedule of the film in the first week of December. The actress will be taking a small break from Emergency and the second schedule of Chandramukhi 2 will commence in January after Emergency wraps.

If sources are to be believed Chandramukhi 2 is produced by one of the biggest production houses, Lyca Films whose recent release was PS1.

Sources close to Kangana further mentioned “Kangana is thrilled to do her next Tamil film after huge acceptance for Thalaivii and looking forward to this very cinematic character.”

Talking about her forthcoming film, Kangana will be seen in Tejas essaying the role of an air force pilot and  Emergency, playing the role of former prime minister, Indira Gandhi. She also has Noti Binodini in her kitty.
