Lokesh Kanagaraj, the rising Tamil director, has swiftly made a mark in Indian cinema, particularly known for his distinct style within a short span. Despite his commendable talent, there’s a prevailing sentiment that Lokesh is fixated on drug-related narratives in his movies, evident in his recent works like ‘Leo’ and even in the production of ‘Fight Club,’ which also centered around drugs and faced disappointment at the box office.
While Lokesh gained acclaim for establishing a cinematic universe through films like ‘Kaithi,’ there’s growing criticism that he hasn’t diversified his storytelling beyond the drug world, leading to audience fatigue. This has sparked a desire among viewers for Lokesh to explore different genres and prove his versatility as a director.
As Lokesh gears up for his much-anticipated project with Rajinikanth, speculation looms regarding the chosen theme. If this upcoming film also revolves around drugs, it might exacerbate the audience’s feeling of monotony and boredom.
Despite Lokesh Kanagaraj’s rapid rise and remarkable directorial prowess, the recurring focus on drug-related narratives has created a yearning among audiences for him to explore diverse themes and exhibit his ability to excel in a broader spectrum of storytelling.
