Mrunal Thakur, who has captivated the Telugu audience with her performances in Sita Ramam and Hi Nanna, appears to be ready to venture into the Tamil film industry with Raghava Lawrence’s Kanchana series. According to reports, Mrunal is being considered for the protagonist role in Kanchana 4. The Kanchana horror-comedy franchise has achieved great commercial success, with each installment presenting fresh narratives.
While some netizens question the appeal of horror comedies like Kanchana 4 in today’s cinema landscape, recent box office failures like Geethanjali Malli Vachindi suggest a shift in audience preferences. The pre-Covid success of content like Kanchana is contrasted with the current trend of viewers seeking out high-quality horror content from around the world on OTT platforms, raising the question of whether Kanchana 4 can adapt to these changing tastes.
Horror fans support this film and cite the example of the recent successful film Aranmanai 4, which achieved success at the box office. So fans are confident that if a slight freshness gets attached to the formula of the Kanchana Series, the film will be able to impress everyone. On the other hand, Lawrence has ambitious plans for Kanchana 4, aiming for a large-scale production. The inclusion of Mrunal Thakur in the cast hints at a pan-India approach to the film. Notably, the Hindi remake of Kanchana, titled Laxmii Bomb, faced immense criticism and was deemed a colossal failure.
