Lokesh Kanagaraj became one of the top director with his films. Because of the big offers he kept delaying Kaithi 2 even though it was announced long ago.
Many people were also surprised when Lokesh took up acting roles at the peak of his career. The result of Coolie affected him and he missed a big chance to work with Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth together.
His superhero film with Aamir Khan was also shelved. However, he has now signed a major project with Icon Star Allu Arjun and the shoot will begin this year.
Recently Lokesh said he would start Kaithi 2 only after finishing Allu Arjun’s film. This statement drew heavy criticism, as he has made similar promises earlier.
Social media is now filled with negative comments and old videos of him talking about Kaithi 2. Meanwhile, actor Karthi has been patiently waiting to do the sequel.
“ఈ గౌరవం ప్రేక్షకుల ఆశీర్వాదమే” ❤️
