Lokesh Kanagaraj is now a brand in Indian cinema. Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), created by him, is among the most exciting franchises in Indian cinema, and it is creating wonders at the box office. The director will soon release a short film that will deal with the origins of LCU. The sensational filmmaker is presently working on Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which is a standalone movie.
In a recent interview, Lokesh disclosed important details about his film universe. When asked what would be the immediate release in LCU, Lokesh Kanagaraj said, “I will be working next on Kaithi 2. I want to make a separate film on Rolex. And then I want to end the universe with Vikram 2. Had Vijay sir not announced his retirement, I would have made Leo 2 as well.”
Lokesh added, “I finished writing Kaithi 2, and my whole team is excited. When it comes to Kaithi 2, it is like my home ground. It all started with Kaithi. I am so excited to bring back Dilli character and unleash him. My protagonists don’t have superpowers. They are normal humans who fight with enemies to save their family. They are emotionally tendered and want to achieve a drug-free society.”
Lokesh added, “I want my commercial films to have some takeaway. When the heroes try to bring a drug-free society in films, there is a high chance it might impact the younger audience who look up to their idols. Now I have all my characters ready, and I just need to connect the dots.”
