Kalyani - Naslen On a Roll / Wamiqua Gabbi to Romance Lokesh

Kalyami Om a Roll

 Post Lokah , Kalyani and Naslen have signed big Tamil Projects : read  on

Sivakarthikeyan’s next film is signed with director Venkat Prabhu, and the movie will go on floors next year. For this film, Kalyani Priyadarshan is said to be roped in as the leading actress, and it will be her second film with the actor and director as well. The film is reportedly being produced by Sathya Jyothi Films, with music composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja.

Kalyani acted with Sivakarthikeyan in Hero (2019), directed by P.S. Mithran, which received positive reviews but did not do well at the box office. But after that, she worked on Maanaadu, directed by Venkat Prabhu and starring Simbu, which is a super blockbuster.

Kalyani Priyadarshan continues to get Tamil projects. Her next projects are Ravi Mohan’s Genie, Karthi’s Marshal, and now Sivakarthikeyan’s film joins the list of her upcoming projects.  Her recent blockbuster film, Lokah, is currently available for streaming on Jio Hotstar.

Suriya is currently working on his 46th film, directed by Venky Atluri, a family entertainer. After this, he signed his 47th with Malayalam director Jithu Madhavan, who made Aavesham with Fahadh Faasil, and for this film, Premalu star Naslen is all set to team up with Suriya. 

As the film is being made by a Malayalam director, the crucial characters are being played by them only. Already, Nazriya signed as the lead actress with Fahadh playing a crucial role, and now the buzz is that Premalu actor Nelson will join Suriya in his 47th film and will appear in an important role in this police investigation thriller.

Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced his debut as a lead hero under the direction of Arun Matheswaran, who confirms Bollywood sensation Wamiqa Gabbi will be playing the female lead in the film.

The film is currently in progress, and it will be wrapped up entirely by January 2026. It is being made as a gangster action film. Lokesh Kanagaraj went through some extensive training for the action episodes, and the inclusion of Wamiqa Gabbi as the female lead also suggests that romance will be a key part of the film. 

After this film, Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to make Kaithi 2, and the pre-production works are underway for the most-awaited sequel. Wamiqa Gabbi has appeared in a few notable Tamil films, like Maalai Nerathu Mayakkam (2016) and the Modern Love Chennai (2023) web series. She will also be seen in upcoming films like Ravi Mohan’s Genie and SJ Suryah’s Iravaakaalam.

 Coolie is chasing a never-before South Cinema record. 

Till now, no film has collected a double-digit gross in all 5 southern states: Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala. Rajinikanth’s Coolie now has a chance of chasing this never-before South Cinema record. 

The film starting with a double-digit opening in Tamil Nadu is obvious, and in Kerala, the advance sales have already crossed the 5 Cr mark, with high chances for a 10 Cr+ start. Karnataka advances have crossed the 4 Cr mark, with full-fledged bookings yet to open.

So, a double-digit opening for the film in Karnataka is also certain, and Coolie has a higher chance of opening with a double-digit gross opening in Telugu states as well.

For any film, this chance is very rare, but Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie has a high chance of achieving this. Even Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2 has failed to achieve this, as the film opened in Kerala with a single-digit number.
