After Kanchana (touted as Muni-2) became a run-away success, we heard that Bellamkonda Suresh was keen on continuing his professional relationship with Raghava Lawrence. Muni-3 has long been awaited. The announcement has just come, months before the official release of the Rs. 5 cr. worth 3D version of Kanchana.

The film's muhurat will be held in December, while the regular shooting will commence from the month of January, 2013. Directed by Lawrence, the film stars him along with Tapsee Pannu.

It will be a big budget movie. "We will reveal the details of rest of the cast and crew very soon," the producer said.

Music is by Vijay Anthony (Daruvu fame). DOP is by Kiccha. Story, screenplay and dance choreography also are by Lawrence.
