Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the most successful and sought-after directors of Tamil cinema. If rumours doing the rounds in the industry are to be believed, ace director Kanagaraj, who recently delivered Coolie,  is likely to direct a film featuring Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in the lead before beginning work on his much-awaited sequel to the blockbuster film Kaithi, featuring Karthi in the lead. Kaithi had marked the beginning of the LCU. 

No official confirmation

Social media is abuzz with claims that director Lokesh Kanakaraj recently met actor Kamal Haasan in this connection and narrated a script to which the actor has given the go-ahead. Sources in the industry claim that this film may be produced by Kamal Haasan's production house Raaj Kamal Films International. The idea of seeing Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan in a film together after decades has got fans excited. However, none of this has been officially confirmed until now.

Kaithi 2 to begin soon

Meanwhile, it may be recalled that producer S R Prabhu had confirmed earlier this year that shooting for director Lokesh Kanakaraj's eagerly awaited action drama Kaithi 2, featuring actor Karthi in the lead, would begin by the end of the year.
