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 in 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 source, Kangana will start shooting the first schedule of the film in the first week of December. The actress will be taking a small break from her second directorial Emergency and the second schedule of Chandramukhi 2 will commence in January after ‘Emergency’ wraps up.
If sources are to be believed Chandramukhi 2 is produced by one of the biggest production house Lyca films who’s recent release was PS 1.
Meanwhile, Kangana also has Tejas in which she essays the role of an Indian Air Force pilot, and ‘Noti Binodini’ in the pipeline.
