Ajay Bhupathi made a name for himself after the massive success of his debut film, RX100. The film featured Payal Rajput as the female lead, and her negative role shocked one and all. However, after RX100, Ajay Bhupathi delivered only flop films in his career.

In an attempt to make a comeback, he directed Mangalavaaram, once again starring Payal Rajput, and the film ended up as a hit. Mangalavaaram revolves around a nymphomaniac, played by Payal Rajput, and received a positive response. Her performance won the hearts of many.

Now, the latest update is that Ajay Bhupathi is ready with a sequel to Mangalavaaram. This time, things are going to be even more special, as reports suggest he has roped in a popular Hindi actress. The sequel is expected to be bigger and bolder, which is why Ajay approached a Bollywood actress to ensure a pan-India release.

A source close to the production team has revealed that talks are at an advanced stage, and very soon, the lead actress will be finalized. The film will be made on double the budget compared to the first installment.

Payal Rajput had a powerful role in Mangalavaaram, making it interesting to see Ajay replacing her in Part 2. Whether the sequel follows a completely new story within the same franchise or continues with a different female lead remains to be seen.

Ajay Bhupathi is known for making films with dark, intense themes and gripping drama. Now that he has set his sights high for the sequel, it will be interesting to see what he has in store.
