Sometimes one stumble only sparks a bigger comeback, and that seems to be Lokesh Kanagaraj’s mood right now.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 22 Oct 2025 10:45 PM ISTSometimes one stumble only sparks a bigger comeback, and that seems to be Lokesh Kanagaraj’s mood right now. His latest, Coolie, starring Rajinikanth, opened with huge hype. The film also featured Akkineni Nagarjuna, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and Shruti Haasan as Rajinikanth’s daughter, which had fans curious. But despite the star power, mixed reviews and word of mouth made the movie settle into an average run rather quickly.
Even some of Lokesh’s fans admitted they didn’t expect this from him. Yet, instead of dwelling on it, he appears determined to turn things around. Reports suggest he’s planning another film with Rajinikanth, aiming for a full-blown blockbuster and to make up for Coolie’s lukewarm response. It’s clear he wants this collaboration to leave a strong mark.
Interestingly, Lokesh could also work with big names like Karthi (Kaithi 2) or Kamal Haasan (Vikram 2), but he seems focused on Rajinikanth first. He’s reportedly putting other projects aside to get dates with the superstar. This shows how much he wants to make their next film a proper spectacle and erase any doubts from Coolie.
Fans are excited for Lokesh and Rajinikanth’s next project. Their reunion promises a high-energy entertainer packed with action, drama, and fun, showing why audiences love this combo.
