A fresh industry buzz suggests that director Lokesh Kanagaraj is not only busy with his highly anticipated film with Allu Arjun, tentatively referred to as AA23, but is also producing a women-centric film through his banner G-Squad for Mythri Movie Makers.
As per tamil media reports, The project is reportedly set to feature Regina Cassandra in the lead role and will be directed by Vishal Venkat, known for Sila Nerangalil Sila Manithargal and Bomb. While the development sounds exciting on paper, it also raises questions about whether Lokesh is stretching himself too thin.
His maiden production venture, Benz, which is also a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), is yet to complete production despite going on floors nearly two years ago. The prolonged schedule has already sparked concerns among fans and trade circles.
Adding to the workload, Lokesh is currently committed to completing DC before shifting his full focus to the massive Allu Arjun project. Both films are expected to demand significant time and creative involvement.
Given the scale of these commitments, taking on another production could complicate matters further. Managing multiple high-profile projects simultaneously often comes with challenges, especially when timelines begin to overlap.
Lokesh has built a reputation for delivering quality cinema through meticulous planning. As his responsibilities continue to grow, ensuring that existing commitments are completed smoothly may be more important than adding new ventures to an already packed slate.
