Speculation is once again swirling around filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj and actor Karthi. The director was earlier expected to move ahead with Kaithi 2, the sequel to their blockbuster Kaithi. However, after the lukewarm response to Coolie, rumours began circulating that the much-anticipated sequel had been put on hold.

Just as fans started believing the project was stalled, a fresh development reignited curiosity. Reports suggest that a Tamil film titled Dilli has been cleared by the censor board for its teaser release. The title immediately grabbed attention, as Karthi’s iconic character in Kaithi was named Dilli.

Adding to the intrigue, the censor certificate was reportedly applied for by Dream Warrior Pictures, the banner behind Kaithi. This has sparked intense debate online—could Kaithi 2 be rebranded as Dilli, or is this an entirely new project from the same production house?

Industry observers note that Lokesh Kanagaraj is known for surprise announcements and interconnected narratives within his cinematic universe, making the speculation even more compelling. Fans of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe are now closely tracking every update. Until an official clarification arrives, the mystery surrounding Dilli continues to fuel excitement across social media.
