How Is Lokesh Kanagaraj Able To Excite Telugu Audience?

By: Tupaki Desk | 8 Aug 2025 7:54 PM ISTThis coming weekend is going to be an important one for the Telugu audience as we have to dubbed films in the form of War 2 and Coolie arriving at the ticket counters. But in terms of anticipation and hype it needs to be said that the Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj film is ahead of the junior NTR and Hrithik Roshan film.
Essentially speaking, it is a fact that Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has been able to excite the Telugu audience to a pretty good extent in recent times.
All of his films after blockbuster Khaithi, including Master, Leo and others have been able to generate substantial revenues at the box office in the Telugu states. On top of that, Vikram was a particularly big hit in the Telugu market as well.
But this time around Lokesh has the luxury of utilising the face value of both Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna for Coolie. This is proving to be the game changer here as Coolie is likely to post exceptional revenues at the Telugu box office upon its release.
The core factor here is that Lokesh is offering more native content to the Telugu audience than NTR is doing with his Coolie. This really is the main principal reason why Coolie is more anticipated than War 2 in the Telugu states.
The nativity factor and the action oriented content that is on offer is keeping the Rajinikanth and Lokesh film ahead of the NTR and Hrithik Roshan film in Telugu states as well. If the content is also up to the mark, then great things are expected from this collaboration.
