What's the story
The Queen of Bollywood, Kangana Ranaut, is all set to enthrall audiences by stepping into the role of a classical dancer in the upcoming Tamil film Chandramukhi 2.
A sequel to the 2005 hit film Chandramukhi, the film's trailer was unveiled on Sunday.
As excitement and anticipation continue to build around it, here's everything you need to know about this eagerly awaited film.

Why does this story matter?
Just a few days ago, fans got a sneak peek at Ranaut's character with the film's first track, Swagathaanjali.
Since then, anticipation has been building to uncover more about Ranaut's character.
It's worth noting that the 2005 film Chandramukhi, starring Rajinikanth and Jyothika, was an official remake of the Kannada film Apthamitra (2004), which itself was a remake of the Malayalam film Manichitrathazhu (1993).
Trailer unveils
Ranaut appears in never-seen-before avatar, immediately grabs attention
The trailer, spanning over two minutes and 30 seconds, offers an intriguing introduction to the film's characters without giving away the entire storyline.
However, it hints at the sequel diving into the backstory of King Vettaiyan and Chandramukhi.
Throughout the clip, Ranaut is seen as a beautiful, awe-inspiring classical dancer—the persona which quickly fades away when she undergoes a transformation into the horrifying Chandramukhi.
