Lokesh's fans are speculating that he has taken a break from social media as he is preparing for his upcoming project which is again going to be a superhit. One of them wrote, "Take care brother..All the best..Waiting for the announcement.." Another said, "Next , #Thalapathy67 Roaring Soon ! Full Fledged Loki Sambavam Loading !"
Actor Lokesh Kanagaraj has been having a dream run in Tamil cinema after delivering back-to-back hits. The young director is today one of the most sought after directors in Tamil cinema as his last film Vikram shattered records at the box office and even made over Rs 500 crores worldwide. The phenomenal earnings earned the movie the title of being the most profitable film in Tamil cinema.
Prior to 'Vikram', Lokesh had made three other films -- 'Maanagaram', 'Kaithi' and 'Master' -- all of which had gone to become either hits, superhits or blockbusters.
Although Lokesh has not disclosed his next project officially as of now, rumours doing the rounds in the industry suggest that he will be directing actor Vijay's next film, which is being tentatively referred to as #Thalapathy67 by fans.
