The director is now busy with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which he confirmed will not be part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
Touted as a gangster action film, Coolie will feature action sequences choreographed by the renowned Anbariv duo.
On the other hand, Lokesh also hinted at the possibility of Kaithi 2 with Karthi, on the fifth anniversary of the film.
Noting that the LCU started from the film, he wrote on X: “It all started from here! Dilli will return soon.”
In Kaithi, Karthi’s character Dilli’s introduction scene is in a prison, however, the back story of Dilli is not known. Fans now guess if Kaithi 2 will delve into this aspect.
On the other hand, LCU fans have also been asking Lokesh to work with Suriya, who played the role of Rolex in Kamal Haasan’s Vikram.
Karthi is basking in the success of Meiyazhagan and is working on Sardar 2.
It all started from here! 💥💥
Grateful to @Karthi_Offl sir, @prabhu_sr sir and the ‘universe’ for making this happen 🤗❤️
Dilli will return soon 🔥#5YearsOfKaithi pic.twitter.com/Jl8VBkKCju
