After Thalapathy 64, Lokesh Kanagaraj to direct Kamal Haasan
Despite being just two films old, Lokesh Kanagaraj is already one of the most wanted filmmakers in Kollywood. The blockbuster success of his recently released ‘Kaithi’ has taken him to the top league of filmmakers. He is already doing a mega biggie in the form of ‘Thalapathy 64’ that has a huge star comprising of Vijay, Vijay Sethupathi, Antony Varghese, Andrea Jeremiah, Malavika Mohanan and Shanthanu Bhagyaraj. Shoot for the film is currently progressing in Delhi.
Meanwhile, offers are still pouring in for Lokesh. He had announced a sequel for ‘Kaithi’ and besides that he is also in talks for a project with Suriya. Latest reports suggest that, Lokesh has been approached by Kamal Haasan’s production house Raaj Kamal Films International to do a film for them. If things go well, Kamal Haasan himself will be starring in the film.
It is worth a mention that, Lokesh is a huge fan of Kamal and has openly confessed that in several of his interviews. He had even revealed that ‘Kaithi’ was inspired by Kamal’s ‘Virumaandi’. It will be great to see a fanboy like Lokesh directing Kamal.
Let’s wait the project materializes soon.
