Lokesh Kanagaraj Gears Up for Allu Arjun Project Amid Media Speculation

January 28, 2026

Kollywood star director Lokesh Kanagaraj has been in the spotlight lately, with media discussions swirling around him. Known as the director who brought in ₹1000 crore to the industry, Lokesh has recently faced comments targeting him after the release of After Coolie, despite being praised prior to its release.

In an attempt to address the ongoing social media speculation, Lokesh spoke openly during a recent press meet. When asked about being seen closely with a heroine, he calmly responded that he has a family, questioning why such assumptions are made. However, reporters continue to ask provocative questions, often targeting him unnecessarily.

Lokesh also clarified that discussions about a project with Allu Arjun have been ongoing for six years, and Maitri Movie Makers had already given him an advance long ago. He confirmed that along with Kaithi 2, his cinematic universe will continue to expand. During the press meet, Lokesh shared insights into the projects he wishes to pursue next, emphasizing that praise is easy when a film succeeds, but criticism comes when it fails. This understanding has motivated him to prove himself with the Allu Arjun project.

Having worked with Allu Arjun, who achieved pan-India fame with Pushpa, the collaboration is expected to generate massive excitement. While fans are curious about the storyline and whether Lokesh is working on his “dream project,” clarity on these aspects is awaited. Regardless, Lokesh seems determined to address all questions only once the film is complete.

Currently, Allu Arjun is busy with Atlee’s film, and once that project wraps up, Lokesh will move on to his sets. Maitri Movie Makers are planning the film with a massive budget, ensuring high expectations. If Lokesh bounces back with this project, both Tamil and Telugu audiences are likely to be thrilled. Apart from Kaithi 2, fans can also expect other exciting projects like Rolex from Lokesh, but to achieve this, he needs to maintain his current momentum and continue delivering hits.
