Additionally, the groundbreaking success of “Kaithi” has paved the way for the inception of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), a significant cinematic milestone that has since witnessed the release of two other notable films, namely the Kamal Haasan starrer “Vikram” and the Thalapathy Vijay starrer “Leo,” further solidifying Lokesh Kanagaraj’s imprint on the contemporary Tamil film landscape.
With the release of the celebratory behind-the-scenes video, the film’s producers have officially announced the much-anticipated return of Dilli in the upcoming sequel, “Kaithi 2,” further enthralling fans and cinephiles with the promise of yet another gripping instalment in the high-octane saga.
Meanwhile, Karthi, the esteemed lead of “Kaithi,” has continued to captivate audiences with his diverse range of performances, including his recent appearance in Mani Ratnam’s magnum opus “Ponniyin Selvan I and II,” where he portrayed a significant role integral to the narrative. The actor is set to grace the silver screen once again with his 25th film, “Japan,” currently in its post-production phase, slated for a highly anticipated Diwali release. Notably, the film has already generated buzz with the recent release of the song “Touching Touching,” composed by the acclaimed GV Prakash Kumar, featuring the mellifluous vocals of Karthi himself.
