In case you were unaware, Kumar is gearing up for Laxmmi Bomb, which is a remake of Lawrence's own Kanchana, an immensely successful horror-comedy franchise in the South. It tackled the story of a transgender who died a brutal death and possessed the spirit of the hero to avenge its death. And Kumar will essay the role that Lawrence nailed in the original. When his first look came out, fans were shocked.

All set to release on May 22 on the occasion of Eid, let's see if it turns out to be as good as Kanchana or not! The film also stars Kiara Advani in the lead.
