Trivia

  • This film was announced 18 years after the original 'Chandramukhi' (2005) became a massive hit.
  • Director P. Vasu returned to direct this sequel, making it a rare case of the same director helming both parts of a long-gap franchise in Tamil cinema.
  • The film's climax was reportedly shot in a specially constructed grand set resembling a temple, which took over 45 days to build.
  • Actress Kangana Ranaut, making her Tamil film debut, performed her own dance sequences for the classical portions after intensive training.
  • The movie includes a cameo appearance by a popular comedian whose role directly references a character from the first film.
  • Despite being a horror-comedy, the production faced delays partly due to extensive visual effects work on the supernatural elements.
  • The soundtrack features a song that reuses the same raga (musical scale) as a famous song from the original 2005 film.
