Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Vision for Lokesh Cinematic Universe
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, eagerly anticipated for his upcoming Tamil film Coolie, has taken a bold step in filmmaking by creating LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe). This innovative move marks a new beginning in Tamil cinema. With three successful films – Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo under its belt, fans are now eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Plans for a Strong Female Character
While LCU has been notably male-centric with few powerful female characters, Lokesh Kanagaraj, during the promotions of Coolie, hinted at introducing a strong female lead. This comes as a refreshing change and a promising development in the evolving narrative of LCU.
Having introduced the LCU concept with Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, Lokesh Kanagaraj is now gearing up for the highly anticipated Kaithi 2. Amidst the buzz surrounding Coolie’s release and his collaboration with Rajinikanth, Lokesh shared his plans to diversify the universe by introducing new elements.
Despite existing characters like Agent Tina and Satya (portrayed by Trisha in Leo), the absence of a powerful female protagonist was evident. Lokesh, in an interview with Galatta Plus, hinted at the inclusion of a female superhero in LCU. He mentioned creating new characters specifically for actresses in the universe, promising updates in Kaithi 2 while keeping the details under wraps.
Looking ahead, after Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s focus is set on Kaithi 2 with actor Karthi. Additionally, he is producing Benz, featuring Raghava Lawrence and Nivin Pauly, within the LCU umbrella. Plans for Vikram 2 with Kamal Haasan and a standalone project centered on Rolex with Suriya are also in the pipeline.
For fans eager to catch Lokesh Kanagaraj’s creations, films like Maanagaram, Kaithi, Vikram, and Master are available on various streaming platforms. For a seamless experience, all these movies are accessible with a single OTTplay Premium subscription. Leo, another gem from the LCU, can be streamed on Netflix.
