Even before the release of Kanchana, Lawrence is reportedly planning to make a sequel. Interestingly, Kanchana, which will grace theatres on July 22, 2011, is a sequel to Muni. According to sources, Lawrence will play the role of a woman in this film. “When I told my family that I played a woman character, they were surprised. I had to practice a lot to get the mannerisms and behavior of a woman right,” Lawrence was quoted as saying.
Lakshmi Rai plays a prominent role in Kanchana. For the first time in his career veteran actor Sarathkumar plays the role of a transgender in this film produced by Sri Thenandal Films.
Kanchana is a Tamil-Telugu bilingual and music is composed by Thaman.
