Renowned South Indian filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj has officially commenced work on his next directorial project, marking his seventh film in the industry. The director, known for delivering blockbuster entertainers, has assembled a fresh team to develop the script for this highly anticipated venture.
New Team Formation Confirmed
Santhosh Moni, a member of Lokesh Kanagaraj's newly formed team, recently shared a picture from their team outing, confirming the squad's assembly. The caption "#LK7#team" introduced the assistant directors working on the director's seventh film. This confirmation has generated significant excitement among fans who eagerly await the director's next move after his recent projects.
The script development for Lokesh Kanagaraj's upcoming film has begun officially, with the director aiming for a strong comeback following his last release 'Coolie' featuring Rajinikanth. Throughout his career, Kanagaraj has built an impressive filmography including 'Maanagaram', 'Kaithi', 'Master', 'Vikram', 'Leo', and 'Coolie'.
The Project Puzzle Continues
While the script work has commenced, the identity of the project remains uncertain. Industry speculation continues about whether this will be the much-awaited 'Kaithi 2', a sequel to the 2019 blockbuster that would mark his reunion with actor Karthi, or an entirely different project.
This development comes after reports surfaced that Lokesh Kanagaraj had stepped back from a proposed film featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan due to creative differences. The director's decision to move forward with a new project has reignited fan expectations for another heavy-hitting film from the acclaimed filmmaker.
Acting Debut Simultaneously Underway
In parallel developments, Lokesh Kanagaraj has begun filming for his acting debut in the action film 'DC' directed by Arun Matheswaran. The shooting commenced a week ago with a continuous 45-day schedule planned in Chennai.
The film features Wamiqa Gabbi as the female lead opposite Kanagaraj and is reported to be a ruthless action entertainer. This marks a significant expansion of the director's creative pursuits as he ventures in front of the camera while continuing his directorial work.
Fans and industry watchers are closely monitoring both projects, anticipating that Lokesh Kanagaraj will deliver the same level of excellence that has characterized his previous blockbuster films.
