Director Lokesh Kanagaraj was once regarded as one of the most exciting filmmakers in South Indian cinema. After delivering blockbuster films like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo, he became a fan favorite not only in Kollywood but across the entire South Indian film industry.
His unique storytelling style, gripping screenplays, and successful cinematic universe earned him immense respect and popularity. However, things appear to have changed after Coolie.
The film failed to meet the massive expectations surrounding it and was viewed as a disappointment by many fans. Instead of immediately moving ahead with the highly anticipated Kaithi 2, Lokesh shifted his attention toward acting projects, including his role in DC.
