Raghava Larencce, who is getting ready to direct ‘Kanchana’, a sequel to his earlier venture ‘Muni’, is hopeful that the movie would be received well by the audience.

“Though Raj Kiran sir will not be there, I have retained most stars of Muni in ‘Kanchana’. Lakshmi Rai has been roped in to play an important role”, says the actor-choreographer-filmmaker.

On the movie, he says, “It is no doubt a sequel. But the script will be totally different from ‘Muni’. Enough care has been taken to ensure that the audiences are glued to the seats while watching Kanchana”.

Claiming that he has put in a lot of groundwork for ‘Kanchana’, Larencce adds: “I am a strong believer of the Almighty. And I hope that He would always reward hard work and dedication.”
