P Vasu remade Malayalam classic Manichitrathazhu as Apthamitra in Kannada in 2004. The film starring late matinee icon Vishnuvardhan became a huge hit at the box office. Later, Rajinikanth collbarated with Vasu to remake it in Tamil as Chandramuki. The 2005 horror-comedy ended the sabbatical that Rajinikanth had taken following the box office disaster of his previous movie Baba (2002). And Chandramuki gave Rajinikanth the much-needed break at the box office.
