Adding to the excitement, the director has also confirmed a film with a leading Tollywood star, further expanding his reach across regional cinemas.
Beyond these individual films, Lokesh remains committed to building the #LCU continuity, with interconnected storylines, recurring characters, and cinematic crossovers that have elevated him to a visionary status among modern Indian filmmakers.
From Tamil to Telugu to Hindi, Lokesh Kanagaraj is gearing up for a cinematic conquest that cuts across industries, languages, and genres—proving once again that his storytelling knows no boundaries.
