Karthi is currently enjoying the success of his latest film Va Vaathiyar directed by Nalan Kumarasamy. However, many fans are still curious about the sequel to Kaithi and whether she and Lokesh Kanagaraj will reunite for Kaithi 2. Now, the Miyajhagan actor himself has broken his silence on the matter.
Is Kaithi 2 still ready for Karthi and Lokesh Kanagaraj?
Karthi was recently spotted at a theater where he attended the screening of Va Vaathiyar. As he was leaving the venue, several media personnel approached him, with one reporter inquiring about Kaithi 2, especially since Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced his next directorial venture after Coolie as AA23 starring Allu Arjun.
In response, Karthi said, “He (Lokesh) will have to say,” and walked away.
Additionally, the actor also responded how grateful he feels that Va Vaathiyar has received a positive response from the audience post-release.
About Kathy 2
Kaithi 2 is the much-awaited sequel to the 2019 blockbuster Kaithi directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The first film featured the story of an ex-convict, Delhi, who is forced to help a police officer while a mafia group is active.
Along with Karthi in the lead role, the film stars Narayan, Arjun Das, Harish Uthman, George Maryan and many other actors in important roles.
The action thriller marked the first installment in the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), which was later expanded by Kamal Haasan’s Vikram and Leo, starring Thalapathy Vijay.
Apart from this, the upcoming film Benz starring Raghava Lawrence and Nivin Pauly is also set to be a part of LCU.
Earlier it was speculated that Lokesh Kanagaraj would work on Kaithi 2 after finishing the shooting of Coolie. However, the filmmaker recently announced that his next film will be Allu Arjun starrer AA23, which will mark his directorial debut in Telugu cinema.
Karthi’s work front
Karthi was last seen in the lead role in Va Vaathiyar. Directed by Nalan Kumarasamy, the film focuses on the story of a police officer who is influenced by his grandfather in adopting elements of late MGR’s cinematic characters.
As a result, the officer develops an alter ego who fights against wrongdoers as an MGR-inspired character. Apart from the Thojha actor, the film also stars Kriti Shetty, Sathyaraj, Shilpa Manjunath, Rajkiran and others in lead roles.
Looking ahead, Karthi will be seen in the spy action drama Sardaar 2, and he is currently involved in the work of Marshall.
