The reports reveal that Kiara Advani was quite impressed with her character. The actor also expressed her interest in playing the lead role in the film. However, no final agreement has been signed yet and there has been no official announcement from the Chandramukhi 2 crew. 

Earlier reports suggested that actor Simran was approached to play the lead in the P Vasu-directorial. The actor later dismissed the rumours. The Sun Pictures film is likely to begin shooting in October depending on the COVID situation in the country. Actor Raghava Lawrence will replace Rajinikanth in the sequel. According to reports, the director originally planned to approach Rajinikanth for the role. It was revealed that he couldn't sign the film due to prior commitments.
