Lokesh Cinematic Universe has been changing the face of Tamil cinema, thereby offering some of the most thrilling action-packed movies in recent times. With Kaithi (2019), director Lokesh Kanagaraj laid the foundation for this interconnected world, which eventually grew further with Vikram (2022) featuring the legendary Kamal Haasan. The franchise hit new summits with Leo (2023) featuring Thalapathy Vijay and further rocketing the fan base to greater heights.
All eyes are now on Kaithi 2, the most eagerly awaited Kollywood sequel. With the filmmakers facing multiple delays, the movie is finally scheduled to go on floors in the latter half of the year. To everyone’s surprise, reports suggest that Kamal Haasan will play a very important role in this flick. A multistarrer featuring Karthi, Suriya, and Kamal Haasan will be the biggest Tamil multistarrer in recent times.
The Journey of LCU and Impact of Kaithi
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s vision transformed Kaithi into a cult classic, thanks to its gripping screenplay and Karthi’s phenomenal performance as Dilli. Unlike traditional commercial entertainers, Kaithi focused solely on high-stakes action without a female lead or songs, making it stand out. The film’s success paved the way for Vikram, where Kamal Haasan reprised his role as an undercover agent, seamlessly linking the two movies into a shared universe.
Despite all commercial success, Leo did not assimilate with LCU as was expected. The film connected well with Vikram for some, but some didn’t think much of the same. This time, however, with Kaithi 2, Lokesh has got the golden opportunity to bring the Kaithi feel back with more expansion into the universe.
Why Kaithi 2 is a Hotly Anticipated Sequel
Fans have been eagerly waiting for Kaithi 2, but multiple scheduling conflicts caused continuous delays. Finally, Lokesh Kanagaraj has set his plans in motion. Once he wraps up Coolie, his standalone project with Rajinikanth, Kaithi 2 will be his next major project.
What makes Kaithi 2 so special?
- It will continue the journey of Karthi’s Dilli, exploring his past and his struggles to reunite with his daughter.
- It guarantees a never-seen-before action sequence, intense narration, and one might get a glimpse of the LCU.
- It is interesting because Kamal Haasan has already been attached to the film.
- If Suriya takes on the role of menacing Rolex for the reprise, it will definitely be setting up a clash that can be seen to be that ultimate.
A mix of veterans with power-packed performances and Lokesh’s storytelling style will ensure that Kaithi 2 goes on to be a landmark Tamil film.
Kamal Haasan in Kaithi 2
According to inside sources, Lokesh Kanagaraj has reportedly discussed his role in Kaithi 2 with Kamal Haasan. The legendary actor of the film has apparently given his nod to the project. However, details regarding his character remain under wraps.
There are speculations that Kamal Haasan’s character from Vikram will play a pivotal role in Kaithi 2, possibly guiding Dilli in his mission or setting up a larger conflict. If true, this could bridge the narratives of Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo, strengthening the LCU like never before.
Will Suriya’s Rolex Join the Party?
One of the biggest questions surrounding Kaithi 2 is whether Suriya will reprise his role as Rolex, the ruthless antagonist introduced in Vikram.
Suriya’s cameo as Rolex was one of the biggest highlights of Vikram, leaving fans wanting more. If Rolex returns in Kaithi 2, it could lead to an explosive showdown with Karthi’s Dilli, making for a thrilling cinematic experience. However, official confirmation is still awaited.
Kaithi 2’s Connection to Coolie and LCU’s Future
Even before Kaithi 2 hits the floors, Lokesh Kanagaraj is focused on Coolie, his collaboration with Rajinikanth. Many had speculated that Coolie would be part of the LCU, but Lokesh has cleared the air, stating that it is a standalone project.
Curiously, Coolie will release during the second half of this year-end perhaps September or Diwali. Which essentially translates into the beginning of the Kaithi 2 shooting, probably directly after Coolie hits screens.

Conclusion: Kaithi 2- The Finest Film from the House of LCU?
Kaithi 2 is going to be one of the most exciting Tamil films in a long time. Karthi reprises his role, and Kamal Haasan joins the project, which makes it very possible that Suriya could return. That will redefine the LCU.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s masterful storytelling, intense action sequences, and interconnected narratives have already made the LCU a fan-favorite. If Kaithi 2 delivers on its promises, it could be the defining film of the franchise.
The Movie is set to create history in Tamil cinema. Stay tuned for more developments on this highly anticipated project!
