Lokesh recently revealed that a 10-minute short film about the origins of LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) will be released soon.

Kaithi (2019), Vikram (2022) and Leo (2023) are the films part of LCU, and this short film is supposed to reveal the common thread between these films.

In all three films, characters from other films have a cameo, or a plot point is motivated by another film.
