Lokesh Kanagaraj didn’t satisfy fans completely with his last two outings, Coolie and Leo. He was supposed to do Kaithi 2 (Khaidi 2) after Coolie, but it appears that there will be a change in plans. According to Tamil media reports, Lokesh is planning to do a mega multistarrer with Superstar Rajinikanth and Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan that will be produced by Raaj Kamal Films International.

Normally, this news should have made movie buffs go crazy, but the situation is quite contrasting on social media. Not just LCU fans, but the majority of the audience seems to be disappointed with the latest development, as Lokesh Kanagaraj is continuously pushing back Kaithi 2. Ideally, Kaithi 2 should have begun after Master, but till now, there has been no progress on the Karthi starrer.

The brand value of Lokesh has undoubtedly taken a beating with Leo and Coolie, and hence, LCU fans believed that the director could regain his form with Kaithi 2. However, with the project put on the back burner, some are even doubting if there is a proper story for the second installment. Can Lokesh Kanagaraj counter the criticism with his upcoming films? Only time will tell us that.
