Lokesh Kanagaraj who was recently seen attending a screening of the Kavin starrer movie Bloody Beggar was asked about whether he’d make Leo 2 with Thalapathy Vijay. In a video shared by Thi Cinemas, the director said, “Only Vijay anna could tell that. If he agrees to the same, I will definitely make it.”
In the same interaction, the director was asked on his opinion to the recent state conference held by Thalapathy Vijay for his party, TVK. In response, the director said, “What can I tell on the same, just well-wishes to Vijay sir,” (translated from Tamil).
For those unaware, Thalapathy Vijay starrer Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj had ended on a cliffhanger note which led to a sequel in the making or the character’s story continuing in the LCU. However, since the actor is allegedly working on his final movie now, it is unclear whether he will continue his character in the cinematic universe.
Moreover, in the same press meet, the director confirmed that the Rajinikanth starrer Coolie shoot is going on smoothly and the makers only have two more schedules before wrapping up the shoot. The director also clarified that the movie’s release date would only be made after the shoot is complete.
The upcoming movie starring Rajinikanth in the lead role was initially announced with a teaser trailer that featured the superstar in a high-octane action avatar. The film is expected to be an action thriller with the actor playing a negative-shaded character.
The film is also set to feature veteran stars like Nagarjuna Akkineni and Upendra Rao in key roles as well. Moreover, the film also features actors like Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj in prominent parts. It is also speculated that Bollywood star Aamir Khan might also make a cameo appearance in the film.
Furthermore, according to a recent buzz, director Lokesh Kanagaraj and Prabhas are likely to join hands for a movie too. Although the report is yet to be confirmed, the Rebel Star is likely to join the LCU and an official announcement is likely to be made soon.
