Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s has captured the hearts of movie lovers across the nation with his movie Vikram. The next highly anticipated addition to Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU)  is Suriya’s portrayal of Rolex, a role that has generated immense excitement.

In a recent update, Kanagaraj spilled beans into his upcoming projects, sparking even more speculation among fans.

While speaking during a fan forum, Lokesh opened up about his current and future projects. At present, the Tamil director is busy directing Coolie, starring Rajinikanth. After wrapping up this project, Lokesh confirmed that he will begin work on Rolex, which he described as "a big film."

"When I was making Vikram, I wanted to conclude it on a high note, and that’s when I brought in the character of Rolex. There are also plans for Kaithi 2 and Vikram 2. Then I thought, how would it be to make a film centred on Rolex?" Lokesh explained.

He further added that his ongoing project, Coolie, is not a part of the LCU. "This is a different, standalone film. But after that, I’m planning a peak film featuring all the actors from the LCU," Lokesh revealed, hinting at a major ensemble cast.

Lokesh’s comments have since gone viral, stirring up excitement on social media. Fans are now eagerly speculating whether Vijay, who said he has retired from acting, will make an appearance in the new LCU film. 

Meanwhile, Coolie, directed by Lokesh, features a star-studded cast including Rajinikanth, Telugu superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni, Kannada actor Upendra Rao, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan in key roles.
