Chandramukhi

Chandramukhi (Tamil: சந்திரமுகி) is a 2005 Indian horror, comedy and drama film directed by P. Vasu and produced by Ramkumar Ganesan. With a few deviations, it is a remake of Vasu's 2004 Kannada film Apthamitra, which was in-turn a remake of the 1993 Malayalam film Manichithrathazhu. The soundtrack and background score for the film, which later became successful enough to be released as a separate album, was composed by Vidyasagar. The film was distributed by Sivaji Productions.

The film starred Rajinikanth in the lead role, making Chandramukhi his "come back" film after the controversy regarding his previous film Baba. The title role was played by Jyothika Saravanan while Prabhu Ganesan and Nayantara were also given lead roles. Vadivelu, Nassar, K. R. Vijaya, Vijayakumar, Vinaya Prasad, Sonu Sood, Vineeth and Malavika were given supporting roles. It was released on 14 April 2005 (India), coinciding with Tamil New Year, to become the largest opening in Tamil cinema at the time.
