Despite the commercial success of Vikram (2022) and Leo (2023), Karthi-starrer Kaithi (2019) remains the most celebrated film in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Released amidst minimal expectations, the film emerged as a ‘Sleeper Hit’ at the box office, grossing over INR 100 crore.
As Lokesh himself had revealed, a direct sequel to Kaithi has been in development, with Karthi reprising his role as ‘Dilli’. Titled ‘Kaithi-2’, it will be the fourth feature film in LCU. Arjun Das, who played a key role in the first installment, has teased the fans by revealing some exciting details about the film.
In a recent media interaction, he stated that ‘Kaithi-2’ is more like a prequel to Kaithi (2019) that discusses the flashback of Dilli and his equation with Adaikalam and Anbu. This project will go on floors once Kanagaraj wraps ups ‘Coolie’, a standolone film starring ‘Super Star’ Rajinikanth.
