Chandramukhi 2: Rajinikanth showers praise on Raghava Lawrence in appreciation letter with no mention of Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut’s much-awaited movie Chandramukhi 2, which hit the theatres on Thursday, has opened to positive reviews from the audience. The biggest affirmation came from the legendary Rajnikanth, who penned a note appreciating the film, director P Vasu and actor Raghava Lawrence. However, he did not acknowledge Kangana being part of the film as he didn’t mention her name in the letter.

Well, Kangana took to Instagram stories and shared Rajinikanth’s letter. Alongside she wrote, “Appreciation letter from Thalaiva Rajinikanth for the success of #Chandramukhi2.” The note can be loosely translated to, “I heartily congratulate Shri. P. Vasu, who took his massively successful film in a completely new direction, giving cinephiles a beautiful entertainer, and my brother Raghava Lawrence who has acted wonderfully, as well as the entire cast and crew of the film.” Check out the post here:
