Lokesh Kanagaraj, the rising star director of Kollywood, has carved a distinct niche for himself within a short span. Films like “Kaithi,” “Master,” and the critically acclaimed “Vikram” have not only garnered him immense popularity but also established the unique “Lokesh Cinematic Universe” (LCU), where characters from his films can potentially interact.
Despite mixed reviews, his recent release “Leo” has achieved significant box office success, further solidifying his position in the industry. As his fame transcends borders, speculation is rife about his potential foray into Tollywood.
Rumors suggest that Lokesh Kanagaraj might be gearing up for a Telugu project with KVN Productions, a banner known for its interest in bankrolling a Telugu film for quite some time. Adding fuel to the fire, insiders hint at the leading role being offered to none other than the pan-Indian superstar Prabhas. While official confirmation is awaited, this potential collaboration has certainly generated excitement among fans.
Currently, Lokesh is directing a highly anticipated film featuring the legendary Rajinikanth, slated for release later this year. Furthermore, whispers suggest another project already under his belt with the prominent Mythri Movie Makers banner.
Given the meteoric rise of the Tollywood market and its growing pan-Indian influence, a potential collaboration between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Prabhas seems like a dream project for many. Prabhas is currently busy filming the sci-fi extravaganza “Kalki 2898 AD,” directed by Nag Ashwin, scheduled for release on May 9th.
