Kollywood Director Lokesh Kanagaraj created the film Universe, popularized by fans and audiences as LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) with his Vikram. He also included his films, Kaithi and Leo in it. He gave a pause to the expansion of the universe and concentrated on Coolie starring Rajinikanth.
The shoot of Coolie is also said to be wrapped up and currently, the post-production works are underway. Lokesh Kanagaraj is now prepared to take up Kaithi 2 starring Karthi which has also been announced recently. But before that, it is learned that the Director would be shooting a short film to describe the origin of LCU in detail.
This was already announced last year and this short film is set to go to the sets before Kaithi 2’s shoot. Netflix has reportedly bought the rights of this short film as per sources.
Meanwhile, Coolie has been announced to release on 14th August worldwide. Kaithi 2 is expected to go on sets at the end of this year or in early 2026. So, it can be understood that Lokesh Kanagaraj will make the short film in this gap.
