Chandramukhi 2 starring Raghava Lawrence and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles was released last month and opened to flop talk. The film sank without a trace after its first weekend itself. The film was much publicised and is bankrolled by top production house Lyca Productions. Many wondered how come Lyca and team has okayed the film which is a remake of Rajinikanth's Chandramukhi in the name of a sequel with Raghava Lawrence in the lead role. The film was directed by veteran director P Vasu.
Lawrence who has moved to his next film Jigarthanda Double X, co-starring SJ Suryah in Karthik Subbaraj 's direction. The film's Telugu version song was launched at Hyderabad on an event. He opened up about the result of Chandramukhi 2 while speaking at the event. He said, " I got my money as fee for Chandramukhi 2 and acted with four heroines. We didnt win everytime in life. I thought about becoming a dance master while working as a side dancer. Then became director and hero. It is because of God's grace I am getting offers as a hero with the kind of glamour I have. We don't have to think about hits and flops. We must do our work, they will follow."
He continued speaking about Jigarthanda Double X, " I watched this film after its dubbing. It's a director's film. It has very good story and will surely become a success. Without proper story, the film won't work whatever it may have. Director should be clear with his vision for delivering strong content. I don't have any doubts about the talent of Karthik Subbaraj."
Lawrence also said that he has kept Kanchana series aside as he was disturbed while making those films. He will make a film in that series but everything must fall in place, says Raghava Lawrence. Jigarthanda Double X is a period action comedy film which also has Nimisha Sajayan and Shine Tom Chacko. The film has already completed shooting part and will hit the theatres for Diwali this year in Tamil and Telugu languages.
