In a recent interview with Galatta, Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed that he had the idea of making a sequel to the Thalapathy Vijay-starrer Master. “The character J.D. has a special place in people’s minds. Accordingly, the making of 'Master 2' will be very enjoyable. Similarly, I have also shared my thoughts about 'Leo 2' with Vijay Anna. But now he is moving into a new phase of his life. That is an important requirement," he said, adding, "I personally want to direct both films."
Promises classic Rajinikanth style in 'Coolie'
Lokesh Kanagaraj is proud to have teamed up with Rajinikanth in 'Coolie'. Lokesh proudly says that Rajini's traditional style, vintage dialogues, and comedy, all missing in recent years, have been restored in 'Coolie'. “Karthik Subbaraj did this well in the film 'Petta'. Similarly, I have tried to bring those classic Rajinikanth qualities in 'Coolie'. Fans will definitely enjoy it,” he said.
