Kanchana 4 to be on floors soon

Last year in June, there were rumours that Mrunal Thakur will be a part of the horror comedy franchise. However, Raghava busted these on social media, writing, “Hi friends and fans, All the information regarding Kanchana 4 and casting that are circulating around social media are just rumors. Official announcement will be made through Ragavendra Production. Coming soon!”

And now a source tells HT that Pooja and Nora will be a part of the film. They told us, “Raghava Lawrence is going to direct Kanchana 4 next. There are two heroines in this film, Pooja Hegde and Nora Fatehi will star in it. The story writing for the film has been completed. Shooting is set to begin for it as soon as possible.”

Kanchana 4 was supposed to go on floors last year, but the film’s pre-production and casting took some time. Raghava is yet to announce the film’s final casting
