Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the top filmmakers in the country whose popularity has spread to the North. Aamir Khan made a cameo in Lokesh’s Coolie, and at the time, the Hindi actor confirmed a collaboration with Lokesh.
The project has reportedly been in discussion for quite some time, but the latest reports say Lokesh is now in touch with Akshay Kumar. With fresh reports surfacing in the media, there are speculations that Lokesh is reconsidering the lead actor choice for his dream project in Bollywood.
Lokesh also wants to make a film in Hindi, and Aamir Khan is under consideration for the project. However, the latest developments suggest Lokesh is in discussions with Akshay Kumar, along with a top producer and writer. This has fueled rumors that Lokesh may be changing his mind and replacing Aamir Khan with Akshay Kumar in the project he has in mind. But a few reports say that both projects could be different.
While Lokesh is reportedly determined to do a film with Aamir Khan, the director is also showing interest in working with Akshay Kumar. We hear that Lokesh plans to collaborate with Akshay, but it is unclear whether it will be his directorial project or one he wants to supervise. Lokesh may also want to work on two Hindi films simultaneously.
On the work front, Lokesh made his acting debut with DC recently and will next direct Allu Arjun.
