Moreover, the filmmaker has unveiled plans for “Kaithi – 2,” emphasizing its event-driven narrative rather than a character-centric approach, promising an engaging cinematic experience for the audience. Notably, the movie will feature prominent figures from the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, raising expectations for an enthralling ensemble performance.

Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj is set to take a six-month hiatus from social media, dedicating his time to the pre-production and scripting his upcoming venture, “Thalaivar 171,” starring Rajinikanth. In a departure from his previous projects, this standalone film boasts a stellar crew, including the musical prowess of Anirudh Ravichander and the dynamic action choreography by the renowned Anbariv duo. With these exciting developments, the anticipation for Lokesh Kanagaraj’s future projects continues to soar, promising a dynamic and engaging cinematic journey for audiences.
