Acclaimed director Lokesh Kanagaraj is gearing up for an exciting lineup of projects. His next big venture, "Coolie," marks his first collaboration with superstar Rajinikanth, showcasing the actor in an all-new avatar. The title reveal teaser has generated immense buzz.
Following "Coolie," Kanagaraj will helm "Kaithi 2," the sequel to his breakout hit, with actor Karthi confirming production will begin in 2025. Another anticipated sequel is "Vikram 2," part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Rumors also suggest a standalone film featuring Suriya as the Rolex character from "Vikram" might be in the works.
A potential collaboration between Kanagaraj and Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has generated significant excitement. Although Kanagaraj's packed schedule and Khan's upcoming film, "Sitaare Zameen Par," may delay this project, cinephiles eagerly await its possibility.
Kanagaraj's slate also includes "Leo 2," but its fate hangs in balance due to Vijay's political commitments. With Vijay planning to do one more movie, "Thalapathy 69," before diving into politics, "Leo 2" remains uncertain.
