Sun Pictures to back Lokesh Kanagaraj’s acting debut directed by Arun Matheswaran?
Reports suggest Lokesh Kanagaraj has begun his acting debut with Arun Matheswaran’s action film, backed by Sun Pictures. Official confirmation from the makers is awaited.
Acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj is all set to don a new avatar – that of an actor. According to reports, the director’s acting debut has officially begun with a traditional pooja ceremony today for his upcoming film helmed by Rocky and Captain Miller director Arun Matheswaran.
The yet-untitled film is said to be an out-and-out action entertainer, marking an exciting collaboration between two of Kollywood’s most stylish storytellers. Sources suggest that Lokesh has undergone intense martial arts training abroad and even worked on a striking physical transformation, including significant weight loss and a rugged, long-bearded look for his role.
Said to be produced by Sun Pictures, the banner that also backed Lokesh’s recently released Coolie – this project is expected to be mounted on a grand scale. With Arun Matheswaran known for his gritty storytelling and raw cinematic vision, expectations are already sky-high for this unique combination.
Meanwhile, Arun’s anticipated Ilaiyaraaja biopic starring Dhanush is reportedly postponed. On Lokesh’s directorial front, speculation continues about his next: whether it will be the legendary Rajinikanth – Kamal Haasan collaboration or the highly awaited Kaithi 2 remains to be seen.
As the team keeps details about the cast and crew tightly under wraps, fans are eagerly awaiting official updates. Here’s wishing Lokesh Kanagaraj and Arun Matheswaran a blockbuster journey ahead with this promising new venture.
