Raghava Lawrence Touches Rajinikanth's Feet, Takes Blessings Ahead Of Chandramukhi 2 Release

The highly anticipated Tamil film Chandramukhi 2 is all set to hit the big screens this weekend. The sequel features Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles, as Chandramukhi and Vettaiyan Raja, portraying the iconic characters originally played by Rajinikanth and Jyothika in the 2005 film. Ahead of the film’s release, Raghava had the privilege of meeting with Superstar Rajinikanth, seeking his blessings for the project. During their time together, the actor also took the opportunity to congratulate the Kaala star on the success of his recent film, Jailer, which has been receiving an overwhelming response from the audience.

In the post, Raghava is seen respectfully touching the feet of the superstar and in another image, he shares a warm hug with the veteran star at his residence. Accompanying the posts, the actor expressed his joy and wrote, “Today I met my Thalaivar and Guru Rajinikanth to wish him for Jailer’s blockbuster success and got blessings for Chandramukhi 2 release on September 28th. I’m so happy. Thalaivar is always great. Guruve Saranam.”

In a recent press meet for Chandramukhi 2, Raghava Lawrence expressed his deep gratitude towards three prominent superstars in his life, Rajinikanth, Chiranjeevi and Nagarjuna. He acknowledged the immense support he has received from these icons throughout his career. Further, Raghava mentioned feeling blessed to collaborate with Oscar-winning music composer MM Keeravani, who has poured his heart into the eagerly awaited film.

To avoid imitating these iconic actors, the actor has put in great effort to develop his unique style. Before starting the shooting for P Vasu’s film, Raghava mentioned that Rajinikanth offered him numerous valuable suggestions.

During the press conference, Raghava Lawrence humorously mentioned feeling a bit overwhelmed by seeing the heavy security around Kangana Ranaut on set. However, he appreciated Kangana’s professionalism and down-to-earth nature, which made him feel comfortable throughout the shooting process. Interestingly, Chandramukhi 2 will mark Kangana’s second pan-India project, following her portrayal of J Jayalalithaa in the 2021 biopic Thalaivii.

Directed by P Vasu, the movie will be released in multiple languages, including Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada. Alongside Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles, the film also features talented cast members, Vadivelu, Raadhika and Mahima Nambiar.

For those not aware, the original 2005 film starring Rajinikanth and Jyothika, was a remake of the Kannada movie Apthamitra, which itself drew inspiration from the Malayalam classic Manichithrathazhu. In 2007, Bollywood brought its own version to the screen with Bhool Bhulaiyaa, featuring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan.
