Star Director Becomes Hero: What’s Up?

It has become increasingly common for directors to become actors and actors to become directors in the current generation of South Indian cinema. We are now witnessing another cross collaboration in this regard in the form of star director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

This extremely selected director has now launched a new project as a main lead as he is said to become a hero with this film.

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his intense action films, is now stepping into a new role as a hero. The shooting of his debut film as an actor began today in Chennai with a formal puja ceremony.

The movie is directed by Arun Matheswaran, who earned acclaim for Captain Miller, and is being produced by Sun Pictures, a leading Tamil production house.

This unexpected move has created huge excitement among fans, as Lokesh has been one of the most influential directors in recent Tamil cinema with hits like Vikram and Kaithi.

Now, audiences are curious to see how he performs in front of the camera. The film reportedly features Rachita Ram and Mirnal Marian in key roles, though an official announcement on the full cast and crew is yet to be made.

With Arun’s strong visual storytelling and Lokesh’s creative energy, this project is expected to be something fresh and unique. More updates, including the film’s title and first look, are expected soon.
