Kaithi 2 Dropped? Lokesh Kanagaraj Shifts His Focus Completely On Rajinikanth's Film? Deets In!

Kaithi 2 Dropped? Karthi is currently acting in the film Japan directed by Raju Murugan. The film is releasing on Diwali and Karthi's fans are in high anticipation.

Following this, Karthi was about to act in the second part of Kaithi directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. But now there are reports that Kaithi 2 is going to be dropped.

LCU Started From Kaithi

Lokesh's second film Kaithi was released in 2019. The film became a super hit for Karthi and also brought Lokesh to the top of the Tamil film industry. Karthi, Naren, George Mariyan, Arjun Das and others acted in the film. Lokesh, who directed Vijay's Master and Kamal Haasan's Vikram, is currently busy with Leo.

Leo will be released on October 19. After the release of Leo, Lokesh was going to direct Karthi's Kaithi 2. It is notable that Lokesh's idea of LCU originated from the film Kaithi. So, the fans were waiting for the release of its 2nd part. It was said that Suriya may also act in this film.

Thalaivar 171 Is The Reason

Lokesh Kanagaraj has now suddenly backed out of the decision. Superstar Rajinikanth is said to be the reason for this. It is said that Rajinikanth's 171st film will be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Recent reports confirm that Lokesh is all set to start the Thalaivar 171 jobs after the release of Leo.

On the other hand, it is also said that Karthi, who had given the call sheet for the second part of Kaithi, is shocked by Lokesh's decision. Karthi, who was waiting to join Kaithi 2 after completing Japan, is expected to act in Sardar 2 on those dates. But, it seems doubtful whether Sardar 2 pre-production work can be completed by then.

In a recent event, Lokesh Knagaraj was questioned about working with Ajith Kumar and update about Kaithi 2. He replied "I'm definitely ready to work with Ajith if I get the opportunity. I'm going to direct another film after 'Leo'. After completing it, I will direct the film Kaithi 2."
