Will Benz Kill the Hype of Lokesh’s LCU?

The shooting of Benz, starring Raghava Lawrence and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, is now progressing at a fast pace.

According to reports, the story for Benz was written by Lokesh Kanagaraj, and the plot is said to be connected with the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU).

Due to some important commitments, Lokesh Kanagaraj has entrusted the direction of the Benz story to his friend Bakkiyaraj Kannan, and Lokesh Kanagaraj is producing this movie under his G Squad Productions.

Even this update has obtained a negative impact on the Kollywood audience, as many people feel that Lokesh Kanagaraj is taking a risk by allowing his friend to direct an LCU movie, If the movie fails, it may affect the hype of the LCU, which Lokesh Kanagaraj has built for years.

In this scenario, the Benz team announced yesterday that the antagonist reveal promo for this movie is going to be out today by 5 pm.

Now there is strong speculation that Malayalam actor Nivin Pauly is going to play the antagonist role in Benz, and with Benz, he is going to enter the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU).

Following this, even though some people are celebrating Nivin Pauly’s entry into the LCU, some are commenting that LCU characters are top actors of Kollywood such as Kamal Haasan, Karthi, and Rolex. They believe that Nivin Pauly entering the universe now may result in a weak character in the LCU and could saturate the hype for the LCU concept.

However, the character reveal promo for Benz is going to be out by today 5 pm, and it remains to be seen if Nivin Pauly enters the LCU, how his characterization is going to be, and whether he will become a major advantage or disadvantage for the LCU.
