Lokesh Kanagaraj Confirms Future Films In His Cinematic Universe (LCU)

Chennai, December 13 - Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj has made his mark in his little career so far and is finding himself standing with some of the most successful directors in the country. The last three films of Kanagaraj became huge hits at the box office and put him in the elite league.

Lokesh is one of the directors in India who is creating his own cinematic universe. It was his "Kaithi" (2019), starring Karthi, which kickstarted LCU and the second film is Kamal Haasan's "Vikram", which was released in June this year. Before "Vikram", Lokesh directed Thalapathy Vijay in "Master" which was a standalone film.

Going forward, Lokesh will only focus on the films that will feature in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. The star filmmaker is currently busy with the pre-production work of Thalapathy Vijay's next. It will be the third film in the LCU. It will start filming after the release of Thalapathy's "Varisu".

During the recent pep-talk at Director's Roundtable 2022 with noted film critic Anupama Chopra, Lokesh Kanagaraj shared his plans in the LCU. The director confirmed that after "Thalapathy 67", he will start Karthi's "Kaithi 2" and once he is done with this, he will focus on Kamal Haasan's "Vikram 2".

In "Vikram", Tamil star Suriya played a theater-shaking cameo as Rolex. The cameo of Suriya as Rolex hinted that the character would play an important part in the LCU going forward, and the director himself has confirmed that he would be a standalone movie on Rolax.
