Lokesh Kanagaraj has become a leading name in Indian cinema, celebrated for creating the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), a thrilling franchise that consistently delivers blockbuster performances. Soon, audiences will get a unique glimpse into the origins of the LCU, as Lokesh plans to release a short film exploring its beginnings. Currently, he is working on Coolie, a standalone project starring Rajinikanth.
During a recent interview, Lokesh shared exciting insights into his cinematic universe’s future. Next on his agenda is Benz with Raghava Lawrence and Kaithi 2, a sequel eagerly awaited by fans. He has also expressed interest in making a separate film centered on the character Rolex, and ultimately, intends to conclude the universe with Vikram 2. Although he once considered Leo 2, the sequel is unlikely to happen following Vijay’s retirement announcement.
Having completed the script for Kaithi 2, Lokesh is thrilled to bring back the character Dilli. Kaithi holds a special place in his journey, as it was the starting point for the LCU. His protagonists stand out for being regular individuals, driven by personal motivations to protect their families. They aim for a drug-free society and embody a unique blend of strength and emotional depth.
Lokesh’s vision goes beyond entertainment. Through these commercial films, he hopes to offer positive messages. By portraying heroes fighting against drug abuse, he believes there’s potential to inspire younger viewers who admire these characters. With all his roles defined, Lokesh is now focused on weaving together this interconnected universe.
