Raghava Lawrence’s much-celebrated horror-comedy franchise Kanchana (Muni) is likely to get its 5th installment soon. As per ongoing reports, the makers of the film have roped in actors Pooja Hegde and Nora Fatehi for the leading roles in the movie.
According to a media’s report , both Pooja Hedge and Nora Fatehi have given their nods to the project, although an official confirmation is yet to be made. Moreover, the report also specifies that the film will be directed by Lawrence himself, who is likely to play the protagonist, similar to his previous ventures.
The Muni/Kanchana film series was created by Raghava Lawerence back in 2007. The first installment, titled Muni, featured the tale of Ganesh, a young man with phasmophobia who gets possessed by a spirit seeking revenge against the people who killed him.
Following this, the actor-director went on to make four installments to date, namely Muni 2: Kanchana, Muni 3: Kanchana 2: Ganga, and Muni 4: Kanchana 3. While the premise and characterization of each installment remain the same, the movies are spiritual successors and do not interlink in any manner aside from featuring similar actors.
