Rashmika Mandanna to haunt screens as a ghost in Raghava Lawrence’s Kanchana 4?
Raghava Lawrence, who began his journey in Tamil cinema as a choreographer, has grown into one of the industry’s most bankable actor-directors. His Muni series and its spin-off Kanchana films are celebrated for blending spine-chilling horror with rib-tickling comedy, earning a cult following across South India and beyond. Now, the much-anticipated Kanchana 4 is in motion, promising bigger thrills, a stronger emotional core, and a wider pan-India appeal.
A fresh report suggests that Rashmika Mandanna may be stepping into the role of a ghost in this latest installment.
According to a report by News18, Rashmika Mandanna has been roped in for a pivotal role in the film. The actress, celebrated for her versatility across Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Hindi cinema, will reportedly be seen playing a ghost.
If the reports are anything to go by, this will offer fans a completely new avatar of the star. Known for her charm and expressive performances, Rashoo’s ghostly transformation is expected to add freshness and intrigue to the franchise, marking her first foray into supernatural cinema.
While Rashmika takes on the eerie mantle, Pooja Hegde has been finalised as the female lead opposite Raghava Lawrence. The cast also features Nora Fatehi, Reddy Kingsley, Anandaraj, and more, making it a star-studded outing. With horror comedies consistently performing well across India, the makers are confident Kanchana 4 will once again strike a perfect balance between fear and laughter.
Reports suggest Rashmika’s role will form the emotional core of the narrative, pairing opposite Lawrence and playing a crucial part in the story’s supernatural conflicts. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how her character balances horror, drama, and comedy in the trademark Kanchana style.
Interestingly, Rashmika is also set to appear in another supernatural project titled Thama, where she embraces a vampiric character. Unlike Kanchana 4, which is firmly rooted in the horror-comedy space, Thama leans more towards a romantic comedy infused with supernatural and mythical elements, centered around themes of vampires. This marks another bold step in Rashmika’s evolving screen persona, as she continues experimenting with unconventional roles.
