'Benz' wraps up initial shooting schedule

Benz, the next big Tamil action flick in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (think Kaithi, Vikram, Leo), is slated for a grand theatrical release in mid-2025. Directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan and produced by Lokesh Kanagaraj, it stars Raghava Lawrence, with R. Madhavan playing a key role, and Nivin Pauly as the villain.

TL;DR

'Benz' to stream on Netflix after its theatrical run

After its theatrical run, Benz will also stream on Netflix—though there's no digital release date yet. This move fits right in with the trend of films dropping both in theaters and online to reach more fans.

Exciting cast and crew

The film brings together a strong team: Samyuktha Menon joins as female lead; Kanagaraj and Kannan co-write; Sai Abhyankkar handles music; Goutham George is behind the camera. All signs point to an exciting watch for LCU fans.
