Ever since Lokesh Kanagaraj created the LCU universe with Vikram, Kollywood audiences have eagerly awaited Kaithi 2. The inclusion of characters from Kaithi raised expectations for a sequel. However, repeated delays left fans disappointed.
Lokesh Kanagaraj postponed Kaithi 2 multiple times to work with star actors. Some believe this decision contributed to a rough phase in his career. The setbacks became more visible after back to back disappointing films like Leo and Coolie.
Following these releases, Lokesh Kanagaraj has moved into pre-production for his next project with Allu Arjun. The film is tentatively titled AA23. This collaboration shifted attention away from Kaithi 2 once again.
Many expected Lokesh to return to Kaithi 2 after the failure of Coolie. Instead, the AA23 announcement led to speculation that the sequel would remain unfinished. This belief gained traction among fans and industry watchers.
In a recent interaction with the press, Lokesh Kanagaraj stated that he would start Kaithi 2 immediately after completing AA23. Despite this assurance, skepticism remains. Similar promises were earlier made during the production of Leo and Coolie.
Amid this uncertainty, a censorship certificate has gone viral on social media. It claims that Dream Warrior Pictures, the producers of Kaithi, censored a 30-second video titled Dilli-Digital Teaser. This has triggered fresh excitement.
Following the viral certificate, social media users began speculating that the video is an announcement for Kaithi 2. Many believe the teaser will be released on Lokesh Kanagaraj’s birthday, March 14th. The timing has added fuel to the buzz.
The theory gained strength as Karthi’s character in Kaithi was named Dilli. Kollywood fans have since started celebrating online, suggesting that Lokesh Kanagaraj is refocusing on LCU films.
However, these remain social media speculations. There is no official confirmation from the production house yet. It remains to be seen if a Kaithi 2 promo drops on Lokesh’s birthday and whether the director begins the sequel after AA23 this time.
