cp-webdeskWith back-to-back blockbusters, Lokesh Kanagaraj, the young filmmaker, established himself as one of the most sought-after talents in South Indian cinema. With the 2019 release of Kaithi, which starred Karthi in the titular role, the four-year-old director launched his signature crime thriller cinematic universe. Later, in his blockbuster Vikram, released in 2022, Lokesh expanded the universe even further by incorporating the characters of Kaithi into the narrative of the Kamal Haasan starrer. Now, the much-awaited sequel to the Karthi starrer is finally set to go on floors.
As per the latest updates, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has already devised a solid plan for his upcoming directorial ventures. The filmmaker, who is planning to extend his cinematic universe with more sequels and new installments, will kickstart the shooting of Kaithi 2 in 2023 itself. If the reports are to be believed, the much-awaited sequel which will once again feature Karthi as the celebrated character Dilli will go on floors exactly two months after the release of director Lokesh’s ambitious project Leo, which features Thalapathy Vijay in the lead role.
For the unversed, Leo, which is touted to be the latest installment of Lokesh Cinematic Universe, is slated to hit the theatres on October 19, this year as an Ayudha Pooja special release. The latest updates suggest that the filmmaker and his team already developed a rough screenplay for Kaithi 2, and are planning to start the film’s pre-production works right after the release of Thalapathy Vijay’s film.
