Lokesh Kanagaraj trains in martial arts for upcoming film

Lokesh Kanagaraj, the director behind hits like Kaithi and Vikram, is making his acting debut soon. He'll star in a film by Arun Matheswaran (of Captain Miller fame) and is already training in martial arts for the role—a big switch from calling the shots behind the scenes.

TL;DR

Kanagaraj is still directing Coolie starring Rajinikanth

Kanagaraj isn't leaving directing behind just yet. He's deep into post-production on Coolie, an action thriller starring Rajinikanth that drops August 14, 2025. The movie also features stars like Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Junior MGR. After finishing up with Matheswaran's film and Kaithi 2, he might even team up with Aamir Khan for a future project.
