Kanchana (also known as Muni 2: Kanchana) is a 2011 Indian Tamil-language horror comedy film written, produced and directed by Raghava Lawrence. It is a sequel to his previous venture, Muni (2007) and the second installment in the Muni film series. The film stars Lawrence alongside Sarathkumar in the title role alongside Lakshmi Rai and Kovai Sarala while Devadarshini and Sriman play supporting roles.
The film revolves around Raghava, who is scared to venture outside but gets possessed by a ghost and starts behaving weirdly. The film's cinematography and editing were handled by Vetri and Kishore Te, respectively. The film's soundtrack was composed by S. Thaman. The film's distribution rights were bought by Sri Thenandal Films.
Kanchana's Tamil version was released on 22 July 2011 while a same-titled Telugu dubbed version was released a week earlier on 15 July 2011.[1][2] Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film became a commercial success in both languages and has been remade several times (see #Sequel and remakes).[3][4]
