Veteran mass director P. Vasu has begun the shooting of Chandramukhi 2, the Telugu remake of Kannada blockbuster Aptha Rakshaka (2010), which is also planned to be remade in Tamil. The film was launched recently at Rama Naidu Studios in Hyderabad with Tollywood's top-charting filmmaker Puri Jaganath giving the first clap.

The Telugu version, which stars Victory Venkatesh in the lead with five heroines (Anushka, Priyamani, Sraddha Das, Sneha and Richa Gangopadhyay), is produced by Bellamkonda Suresh of Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Productions.

According to sources, the makers are considering Panchamukhi (A girl with five faces) as its title; however, official confirmation is awaited. Guru Kiran will score music, while Shyam K. Naidu handles camera. The film is set in a horror backdrop.
