What's the story

Acclaimed filmmaker, Lokesh Kanagaraj, is said to be eyeing a new project before his much-anticipated Kaithi 2. Known for his blockbuster films and a knack for resonating with audiences, Kanagaraj has two confirmed projects on his slate: Coolie, headlined by Rajinikanth, and Kaithi 2, fronted by Karthi. However, industry insiders suggest he might take on another film before diving into Kaithi 2, which is part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).

New venture

Kanagaraj's potential collaboration with Aamir Khan

The buzz surrounding Kanagaraj's possible new project is related to his current work on Coolie. Aamir Khan has a cameo in Coolie, and recent reports suggest that Kanagaraj may soon explore a full-fledged project with the superstar. If this happens, it could mean a delay in Kaithi 2's release. The first part was released in 2019.

'Coolie'

Meanwhile, know more about the director's next: 'Coolie'

Coolie is an ambitious project for the director and also stars Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Nagarjuna, and Soubin Shahir. The film's music has been composed by Anirudh Ravichander and has visuals by Girish Gangadharan and editing by Philomin Raj. It will stream on Amazon Prime Video after its theatrical run.
