Lokesh Kanagaraj surpassed Shankar's position in Telugu as well

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has gained immense popularity, not only in the Tamil film industry but also in Telugu cinema. He has successfully made the cinematic universe popular, which was previously only famous in Hollywood. Many directors are now focusing on this genre thanks to him. This young and talented director has created his own unique brand within just a few years of his career. He is undoubtedly one of the finest filmmakers in the country today. With only four films to his name, he has become a household name not only in Tamil cinema but also in the entire South Indian film industry.

In Kollywood, leading actors recognize Lokesh's skills and his potential as a master filmmaker, and they are eager to collaborate with him. His upcoming film "Leo," starring Thalapathy Vijay, is set to release in theaters on October 19th, and it has generated unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

Now, interesting news is that in Tollywood also his brand has grown significantly, seemingly surpassing Director Shankar's brand. The tremendous craze for Leo in both A Centers and B, C Centers, despite competition from Balakrishna's movie, underscores the prominence of Lokesh Kanagaraj's brand.

In the past, Shankar's films used to match the hype of straight Telugu films, but now Lokesh's films are achieving the same. If "Leo" achieves significant success, his brand will undoubtedly grow even larger. Presently, Telugu audiences seem to be more excited about Lokesh Kanagaraj's films than Shankar's.
