"IF I'M GIVEN PROPER SELF-RESPECT..." - RAGHAVA LAWRENCE

Actor and director Raghava Lawrence was last seen in the film Kanchana 3 alongside Oviya, Vedhika, and Nikki Tamboli. He had directed the film himself, and also produced it in association with Kalanithi Maran under the banner Sun Pictures. The film had a supporting cast comprising of Kovai Sarala, Soori, Sriman, Devadarshini and others.

The film had a monstrous run at the box office, especially in Chennai where it collected more than 7 crores. Raghava then moved on to Bollywood to direct Laxmmi Bomb, the Hindi remake of Kanchana, which was the second film of the Muni franchise, and first film of the Kanchana series of movies. 

Laxmmi Bomb has Akshay Kumar and Kiara Advani in the lead roles. The film is produced by Shabina Khan and Tusshar Kapoor under the banner Cape of Good Films, Tushar Entertainment House and Shabina Entertainment. It was scheduled for a 2020 release.

On the day the first look poster of Laxmmi Bomb was released, Raghava stepped out of the project as he wasn't given proper respect, and the producers allegedly released the poster without informing him. Now, he has released another statement addressing the fans, and also declaring that there is a chance of him rejoining the project.
