Raghava Lawrence's Kanchana series has been one of Tamil cinema's most popular horror-comedy series, with four blockbuster films so far that have kept viewers laughing and scared.

There is already talk about the fifth movie in the series, and there is some surprise news: Rashmika Mandanna might be joining the cast.

Rashmika as a spirit?

Reports state that the actress from Pushpa has been asked to play a major role in Kanchana 4, and some people think she might play a ghost. If this is true, it would be Rashmika's first time playing a supernatural character in South Indian movies. But the people who made it haven't said anything official yet.

The movie is reported to include many famous actors, such as Pooja Hegde and Nora Fatehi, as well as Raghava Lawrence, who will also be directing it.

A Business That Keeps Getting Bigger

Since the first Kanchana movie, Muni (2007), the series has been quite popular. The next movies were Kanchana (2011), Kanchana 2 (2015), and Kanchana 3 (2019).

Lawrence has been able to mix horror and comedy in a way that appeals to people of all ages in each new installment. People already have high hopes for Kanchana 4, but the people who made it haven't said when it will come out yet.

Rashmika's Next Projects
Rashmika Mandanna has been quite busy with projects in a lot of different fields. She featured in Sekhar Kammula's Kuberaa with Dhanush and Nagarjuna Akkineni not too long ago.

Next, she will star in Thama, a Hindi romantic horror comedy that is part of the Maddock Horror Comedy Universe. Ayushmann Khurrana will be her co-star. She also has The Girlfriend coming up, which will keep her occupied with a variety of movies.
