Director Lokesh Kanagaraj started a new trend in South Indian cinema by developing a film universe called the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Kaithi is the first one in this universe, and despite huge hype, Kaithi 2 is getting delayed again and again.
After Kaithi, Vikram continued the LCU, and Vijay’s Leo ending also had a link to it. But as said above, Kaithi 2 is the most anticipated film from Kollywood and LCU, but somehow it is not able to go on floors.
Kaithi 2: The Most Awaited Film From LCU Continuously Getting Delayed
The fans are frustrated as the Lokesh Kanagaraj and Karthi’s Kaithi 2 shoot is continuously delayed, and finally, it was expected to start this year.
But recently, Lokesh Kanagaraj confirmed that the shoot of Kaithi’s sequel will start in summer 2026, as he, in the meantime, will be busy with his debut film as a lead hero under Arun Matheswaran’s direction.
Lokesh will also work on the pre-production works of the second part of Kaithi, and its shoot will start next summer and is slated for a 2027 release.
