Lokesh Cinematic Universe Expands: Kaithi 2 Confirmed
Karthi returns for Kaithi 2, while Vijay remains a voice in the LCU

The Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), created by filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, has become a massive force in Kollywood after the box office success of films like Master, Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Fans can rejoice as Kaithi 2 has been officially confirmed, with Karthi reprising his role.
According to Glitz, Kaithi 2 will see the return of all the major LCU characters, including Kamal Haasan as Vikram, Suriya as Rolex, and Karthi as Dilli. While the filmmakers plan to incorporate Vijay’s voice in the film, his recent decision to step away from acting after his last movie, “GOAT,” makes an on-screen appearance unlikely. In the climax of “Leo,” Vijay’s character interacted with Kamal Haasan’s, including a fight scene. It’s expected Vijay’s role as Leo will be limited to voice acting in Kaithi 2 as well. The movie is also expected to delve deeper into the mysteries of the LCU.

In the meantime, Lokesh Kanagaraj is gearing up for his next project, the standalone film “Coolie,” starring Rajinikanth. The movie revolves around gold smuggling and features prominent roles for Sathyaraj and Shruti Haasan. Pre-production is complete, and filming is set to begin soon.
