Kaithi and Vikram are the best films in Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s filmography. His fans eagerly await the release of hi 2, but Lokesh Kanagaraj seems to be nervous about expectations around the film.
With Kaidhi and Vikram—Hit List, Lokesh emerged as one of the craziest directors in Indian cinema and a top director of Kollywood in present days.
After Vikram’s release, people eagerly anticipated Kaithi 2, the director continuously delayed the film with other projects like Leo and Coolie, and now he is planning the Rajinikanth-Kamal Haasan multi starrer.
Putting other factors aside, it seems somehow Lokesh Kanagaraj might be feeling a lot of pressure to make Kaithi 2, as there are very huge expectations on the film, and matching them is not at all an easy task.
With Kaithi 2, audiences are expecting a bigger film than Vikram and Kaithi, so definitely there will be high pressure on the director, and he needs to come up with a fantastic story and screenplay.
Even though Lokesh Kanagaraj is saying the entire LCU script is ready, the massive expectations will certainly keep him under fire.
Maybe the pressure to satisfy fans/audiences is one of the reasons for Lokesh Kanagaraj pushing Kaithi 2 time and again.
