Raghava Lawrence’s highly anticipated horror sequel, “Chandramukhi 2,” directed by P. Vasu, has unveiled its theatrical trailer, and the initial impressions suggest a mixed bag of thrills. While it promises spine-chilling moments, it also seems to tread familiar territory, lacking that elusive “wow” factor.
The three-minute trailer provides a comprehensive introduction to the film’s key characters and offers a sneak peek into the eerie bungalow that forms the crux of the story. Raghava Lawrence steps into the shoes of King Vettayain, tasked with taking on the role of Chandramukhi, played by Kangana Ranaut. Similar to its predecessor, the sequel blends elements of entertainment, drama, action, and romance, despite being a horror thriller.
The narrative once again hinges on the sinister occurrences within the South-block room of the bungalow, where Chandramukhi resides. Kangana Ranaut appears to be a fitting replacement for Jyothika from the first installment, although Lawrence has big shoes to fill in matching the screen presence of Rajinikanth, who carried the original film single-handedly.
Vadivelu’s comedic prowess is expected to bring laughter to the proceedings, while Rao Ramesh and Radhika Sharat Kumar play significant roles. MM Keeravani contributes a pulsating score that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
With impressive cinematography and top-notch production values, “Chandramukhi 2,” produced by Lyca Productions Subaskaran, is set to hit screens on September 15th, leaving fans eagerly awaiting Lawrence’s portrayal of King Vettayain and the unfolding of this supernatural tale.
