On April 9th out of the blue came the announcement from Raghava Lawrence that one of his next projects is 'Chandramukhi 2' directed by P. Vasu and produced by Sun Pictures. He had donated the entire advance money for the film amounting to rupees three crores to the coronavirus relief funds of the state/central governments, FEFSi, Dancers Union, and the people of Royapuram.

Director P. Vasu in his recent interview to a leading Tamil weekly has revealed that 'Chandramukhi 2' will be based on the title character and the evil king Vettaiyan played by Jyothika and Rajini in the original and will tell the backstory of what happened between them and why they are enemies.
