It was not long ago that Lokesh Kanagaraj was considered one of the most sought-after Tamil filmmakers. His reputation extended beyond South Indian cinema and reached across the Indian film industry.
Top stars from different industries showed interest in working with him. Even Bollywood actors like Salman and Aamir were reportedly keen on collaborating with Lokesh Kanagaraj.
However, a single major failure has changed his standing drastically. From being a highly desired director, Lokesh has now become a target of criticism.
Earlier, social media was filled with mass edits celebrating his work. Fans wanted their favourite heroes to collaborate with him and praised his filmmaking style.
That sentiment has now completely reversed. Fans are tagging actors and urging them not to work with Lokesh anymore.
Allu Arjun fans, in particular, have taken this trend further. They have shared videos mocking Lokesh and criticising his recent work.
The film industry is known to be harsh and unforgiving. Still, it is surprising how quickly Lokesh’s career trajectory has shifted.
One major disaster appears to have affected almost all his prospects. The fall has been swift and severe.
Even his much-anticipated comeback project Khaithi 2 is now uncertain. Actor Karthi recently stated that he is unsure when the film will actually take shape.
Despite the setbacks, all may not be lost. One strong blockbuster could change everything for Lokesh.
If he remains patient and chooses the right project, Lokesh Kanagaraj still has a chance to regain his footing and return to form.
