Lawrence seeks blessings from Rajinikanth; posts pictures with the Superstar before joining Chandramukhi 2

A while ago, it was announced officially that Raghava Lawrence will headline Chandramukhi 2 under the direction of P Vasu who helmed Chandramukhi which was released in 2005. Leading production house Lyca Productions, too, had announced their association with the project.

Ace lensman RD Rajasekhar was roped in to crank the camera while Thota Tharani and MM Keeravani have been brought on board to handle production design and music direction respectively. The team had also revealed that Vadivelu will be seen essaying an important character in the movie. Film lovers have been eagerly waiting to know if the film would have a completely new story as there are speculation that the storyline would be similar to Aptharakshaka which Vasu had made in Telugu more than a decade ago.

The shooting of Chandramukhi 2 commences in Mysore today, and Lawrence sought blessings from none other than Rajinikanth who played the lead in the first part.

The actor-filmmaker-choreographer paid a visit to the Superstar and spent some time with him. He also posted a couple of pictures along with him from his Twitter page. One of them has him falling at the Superstar's feet, while the latter is seen blessing him wholeheartedly.

Lawrence has always been a self-proclaimed fan of Rajinikanth. The former excitedly posted, "Hi friends and fans, Today Chandramukhi 2 shooting begins in Mysore with my Thalaivar and guru’s @rajinikanth blessings! I need all your wishes (sic)." The project marks the second collaboration of Lawrence and P Vasu after Shivalinga which was released in 2017.  

Fans of Lawrence and others have pinned hopes on Chandramukhi 2; they are looking forward to knowing if the movie would be different from the popular Kanchana franchise.
