Kamal Hassan next with Director Lokesh Kanagaraj

Lokesh Kanagaraj who rose to fame with Mahanagram and 2019 blockbuster Kaithi is joining hands with Ulaganayagan Kamal Hassan. Interestingly, Lokesh's Master starring Thalapathy Vijay is set for a release.

This will be Kamal Hassan's 232nd film. The first-look poster in red has a man's side-profile put together in graphic art with a collage made of guns and bullets. "Once upon a time there lived a ghost..." it blares in bold. The poster announces Summer 2021 but it is unclear if it will start rolling by then or if the film will release next summer. Hashtag 'Yevan Endru Ninaithai' accompanies RKFI's tweet in Tamil font.

Initially, there were speculations that Lokesh will be joining hands with Superstar Rajinikanth for his fourth directorial, and that the film was expected to be produced by Kamal Haasan's Raaj Kamal Films International. Now, it has been made official that the young director is all set to team up with Kamal Haasan.  

Lokesh Kanagaraj is currently awaiting the release of Master, which marks his first-time collaboration with actor Vijay. The film was set to hit the screens in April but this did not happen due to the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. Tipped to be a gangster drama, there are rumours that the film will feature Vijay in the role of a college professor with a troubled past. The film has been predominantly shot against a college backdrop. It’ll be the first time Vijay will be seen playing a professor.
