Director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Karthi confirm Kaithi 2!

Vijay’s ‘Bigil’ and Karthi’s ‘Kaithi’ were the two Diwali releases from Tamil cinema this year. Both the films have opened to excellent response all over. While ‘Bigil’ has got a phenomenal opening at the box office courtesy Vijay’s massive popularity worldwide, ‘Kaithi’ is getting unanimous praise for its quality content. The film directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is winning appreciation from critics and commoners alike. Fellow fimmakers from the new age have all been heaping praise on Lokesh for successfully pulling off such a no-nonsense mass masala film.

Meanwhile, the makers of ‘Kaithi’ have confirmed that the film will have a sequel. Director Lokesh has tweeted,

Thanx for the overwhelming response guys,.. loved every minute in sets and the entire process of making kaithi…will cherish this forever! Thank you once again prabu sir and karthi sir for the opportunity!..To answer all your txts and calls yes“ Dilli will be back”

In a small success celebration event held in Chennai, Karthi also revealed the same. Apparently, Lokesh has already narrated the story of the second part and has asked for only 30 days of shoot. Karthi is also impressed by it and the sequel might materialize soon.

It is worth a mention that Lokesh’s next after ‘Kaithi’ is a mega biggie with Vijay. Said to be an action- thriller, the film also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Antony Varghese, Malavika Mohanan and Shantanu Bhagyaraj. Shoot is currently underway and the film is scheduled for summer release next year.
