Following the success of "Kanchana 2" (2015), Raghava Lawrence said that more movies in the horror comedy series would continue to be made. In August 2015, he announced a movie titled "Naaga", which he would direct himself. The movie was widely reported to be the fourth movie in the "Muni" series. He talked to Jyothika about playing an important role in the movie, but the movie did not progress. He moved on to work on two other movies, "Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva" (2017) and "Shivalinga" (2017).
