Kangana added that she had been re-watching the original for her performance and stated it was ‘impossible to match up to her brilliance’.

She re-shared the video of Jyothika from 2019 and wrote, “That’s encouraging, as a matter of fact I’am watching Jyothika ji’s iconic performance in Chandramukhi almost every day because we are shooting the climax it’s nerve-wracking, how astonishing she is in the first part!! it is practically impossible to match up to her brilliance.”

Directed by P Vasu, the original horror comedy features Jyothika as a woman with a dissociative identity disorder, while Rajinikanth plays the psychiatrist who sets out to help her. The Tamil hit, which won several awards, also starred Prabhu, Nayanthara and Vadivelu.
