Lokesh Kanagaraj Wants To Reunite With Thalapathy Vijay For Master 2, Ditches Leo 2
Last Updated:
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj expressed his desire to make Master 2 with Thalapathy Vijay, despite fans eagerly awaiting Leo 2.
While fans are eagerly waiting for Leo 2, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has something else on his mind. He wants to bring back JD from Master! In a recent chat with film critic Sudhir Srinivasan, Lokesh said he'd love to work with Thalapathy Vijay again, but not for Leo. Instead, he wants to make Master 2.
'Only time can tell, and Vijay Anna has to decide. We can bring him in for a cameo, but I want to do Master with him. Everyone is waiting for Leo 2, but I want to do Master with him," Lokesh said honestly.
He went on to explain why. 'I think there's a part of that story which remains untold. It's there in the first one without any conclusion. I just want to do that film. I personally like the vibe of JD very much. Leo is a strong character and people love it, but if you personally ask me, I have a proper idea for Master 2 and he also knows it. But it's all about timing – he now has other things he wants to achieve."
Talking about his plans for the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe), Lokesh said, 'After 'Coolie', I'll start with 'Kaithi 2'. I also have to do 'Vikram 2' with Kamal Sir, but I haven't finished writing it yet. Finally, it has to be 'Leo 2', but we must plan it without keeping Leo Das in mind."
Meanwhile, Lokesh Kanagaraj's next big film Coolie is all set to release in theatres on August 14. To kick off the 100-day countdown, a special promo was dropped on May 6. The film stars Rajinikanth in the lead, along with a powerful ensemble cast including Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Reba Monica John. Pooja Hegde will be seen in a special song, and there's also a surprise cameo by Aamir Khan. Music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
