He has just five films to date if we count, and surprisingly he has the best and happening stars on his side through these movies. The name is Lokesh Kanagaraj, and it looks like his next movie is going to be another byproduct of the cinematic universe he created through the films like Khaidi and Vikram.
By mixing Khaidi’s backstory with that of Vikram, already Lokesh has succeeded in pulling some talented superstars like Kamal Haasan, Karthi, Surya, Vijay Sethupathi and Fahad Fassil into his world.
Reports are coming that his next film which features Superstar Vijay in the lead, will have an extension of this universe. Along with Vijay, even Bollywood director Sanjay Dutt is likely to enter the universe created by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Many thought that the director will pick up a known Telugu hero for his next with Vijay, such that the film would have got more appeal in the Telugu circuit as well. But for some reason, Lokesh has decided to work with Sanjay Dutt for this project. After KGF2, even Dutt became the most sought after actor by south India’s star directors.
