The action-thriller Vikram, which debuted in theatres in June of this year, quickly became one of the most successful films ever produced in Tamil, as well as Kamal Haasan’s career. The Lokesh Cinematic Universe, known as LCU, was created by the young director and includes the multi-starrer that he wrote and directed. More movies in the franchise are already confirmed, and one of them will be a spin-off centered on the role Suriya performed.

Leading man-producer Kamal Haasan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj have stated that there will be other chapters in the LCU, including the Vikram sequel, which has been given the name Vikram 2, and Karthi’s Kaithi 2. Interestingly, when asked Lokesh if a movie about Rolex, the role performed by Suriya, was in the works, the young director said yes.
“Right now I’m working on a film (Thalapathy 67). After that, I have to sit with Kamal Haasan sir and have a talk first. So It is going to be Vikram 2, Kaithi 2, and probably Rolex.” revealed Lokesh Kanagaraj. “It’s a universe right, so we have all the privilege to do all kinds of films – like with whichever character you want, and a prequel or sequel you want. So, for the next 10 years I’m settled,” he added.
Actor-producer Kamal Haasan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj announced that there will be more episodes of LCU, including the Vikram sequel, which has been dubbed Vikram 2, and Karthi’s Kaithi 2. It’s interesting that Lokesh said a movie about Rolex, the role played by Suriya, is also in the works.
