After the success of Leo, director Lokesh Kanagaraj returned with Rajinikanth’s Coolie, released on August 14th. The film received mixed responses from audiences, leaving fans divided about its performance.
During Coolie’s promotions, Lokesh Kanagaraj had confirmed that Kaithi 2 would be his next project immediately after the release. Fans were eagerly anticipating the continuation of the popular franchise.
Speculation soon arose that Lokesh Kanagaraj might direct a pan-Indian film starring Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth. Rajinikanth later confirmed their reunion, but the director for the project has not been finalised.
Following this, many believed Kaithi 2 would become Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next film, allowing him to make a strong comeback. However, rumours now suggest Kaithi 2 may have been shelved due to creative differences with Karthi.
The production team is reportedly trying to resolve these issues, but social media users have begun trolling Lokesh Kanagaraj. They argue that while Leo did not fully meet expectations, Coolie has drawn much harsher criticism.
Fans feel the director’s career is facing challenges as the Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan reunion project was delayed, and now Kaithi 2 is also in trouble. Many urge Lokesh Kanagaraj to resolve the issues and start Kaithi 2 to restore momentum in his career.
No official updates have been shared yet, so it remains unclear whether Kaithi 2 will resume production or how the project will evolve in the future. Fans continue to watch closely for any announcements.
