Fans at the Telugu pre-release event of Suriya’s Scene had something other than the upcoming film on their minds. The crowd repeatedly chanted “Rolex”, referring to Suriya’s menacing character from Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vikram. The chants reflect the continued excitement surrounding the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), with fans also eagerly demanding updates on Kaithi 2. Both Suriya and Karthi have faced similar questions at public events, with fans desperate to see their popular LCU characters return to the big screen.
The LCU has developed a strong following, thanks to interconnected stories and memorable characters such as Karthi’s Dilli from Kaithi and Suriya’s Rolex from Vikram. Lokesh Kanagaraj has maintained that Kaithi 2 is not shelved and is expected to take shape after his upcoming project with Allu Arjun. He has also confirmed plans for a standalone Rolex film featuring Suriya. However, with Lokesh’s busy schedule, including the possibility of Vikram 2, neither project has a confirmed production date yet. Suriya and Karthi have both expressed their willingness to return, leaving fans waiting for Lokesh’s next move.
Meanwhile, Scene, starring Suriya, is gearing up for its theatrical release on November 6. The film is directed by Jithu Madhavan and features Nazriya Nazim as the female lead. With Suriya in top form, Scene has generated interest among his fans, even as the LCU chants continue to dominate conversations around the actor.
