Lokesh next Arun Direction and Kaithi 2 - Rajini- Kamal Distant One

 

We hear that that Lokesh will wrap Arun's film with Vasanth Ravi before starting production on his next directorial venture, Kaithi 2, starring Karthi. Kaithi 2, Only after that  is Lokesh next project with  Rajini- Kamal project, if everything falls in place . . Kaithi is delayed and not for the Rajini- Kamal project but Lokesh after negative feedback post Coolie is out, he feels that the expectations from him are higher and viewers are expecting a bigger one from the Kaithi sequel . Post Coolie, Lokesh has to deliver with Kaithi sequel.

LK07: Kaithi 2

The fifth installment of the LCU, after BENZ. The film is co-produced by KVN Productions and and Dream Warrior Pictures.

The film revolves around the ego clash between Dilli (Karthi) and Rolex (Suriya), which is narrated in a non-linear screenplay. Kamal Haasan also plays a role in the film, with Vijay playing a cameo. This film is the one that begins the present plot of the universe.

Shoot begins from December  2025, and will be shot on a 200–250 crore budget. Will continue until the end of the year. They will be taking loads of time with post-production and fine tuning, so the film will only be releasing late 2027.

As elections are fast approaching, Red Giant would not commit any huge investment till May next year. RKFI of Kamal is all set to go ahead with Anbu Arivu directorial. Despite bad word of mouth, Coolie collecting so much shows his good will, Rajini post Coolie has shown as a weak draw in Tamil Nadu. Indian 2 figures does not help Kamal either. Coolie has shown that Rajini’s draw in Tamil Nadu is not big as Vijay.

Primarily, Rajini- Kamal film has to collect from Tamil Nadu and after paying both heroes the market price and production costs, recovery at box office is near impossible task. Only if both heroes join as partners, can the Rajini- Kamal film take off. The project can take off when Jailer 2 and Anbu Arivu projects are blockbusters and Kaithi 2 brings back Lokesh.

Suriya upcoming film plot inside look

Suriya45 - Karrupu - RJB & DWP

No changes in the release date, Diwali 2025 is locked. The film is an out and out commercial film with a strong fantasy and spiritual element. Suriya dons a few get ups in this film.

Suriya46 - Venky Atluri & Naga Vamshi

This film is a family drama which centers around a rich tycoon who falls in love with a simple girl and both of them trying to convince each others’ families for marriage is the core.

There’s a chance that the film is called Vishwanathan & Sons. They are trying for that kind of a classy family name.

Shooting has already started, 30% done, and it will end by October. Very simple and straight forward film- April/May 2026 release.

Suriya47 - Jithu Mahadevan

Suriya will be playing a rowdy and eccentric cop in this film, along the energy of Fahad in Aavesham.

Shooting will begin from November second week, likely will release in first week of September 2026.

Suriya48 - Vaadivaasal - Vetri & Thanu

Here we are with the delayed but most anticipated Vaadivaasal.

Well the animatronics for the bulls are set to be completed in December which is when the pre-production will begin. So they will begin this film from around March-April and complete it by July-August.

The release date depends on the post-production. If all goes well then it will release early 2027.

Suriya49 - Anwar Rasheed

A very ambitious and peculiar genre project planned which will be done from October-November and will finish in January 2027. Will release likely in May or June that year.

Will be a very different genre for Suriya, but the film is still in talks though Suriya likes it a lot. 75% chance if this one happening currently.

Suriya50 - Rolex - Lokesh Kanagaraj

Early in discussions but this milestone timing is something Suriya and Lokesh are very keen in.

The concept revolves around the rise and fall of Rolex (Leading up to Vikram climax), and his journey and clashes with the other LCU characters of his past.

Lokesh will come to this project after he finishes Kaithi 2 and the project with Aamir Khan. This will begin in early 2027 and will continue until June-July it’s a pretty massive film. Likely will release in Diwali or November.
