Kollywood Star hero Vijay’s recent blockbuster Leo, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, took the Indian film industry by storm when it released last year, earning rave reviews and capturing the hearts of fans worldwide. This high-octane action thriller not only showcased Vijay in an intense role but also left audiences speculating about a possible sequel. Fans have eagerly voiced their desire for Leo 2, and Lokesh Kanagaraj himself has expressed interest in returning to this world if Vijay gives the green light.
In a recent media interaction following a screening of Bloody Beggar, Lokesh addressed questions about the sequel. When asked directly about Leo 2, he responded, “I’d love to make Leo 2, but only if Vijay sir agrees. Right now, he’s deeply engaged with his political pursuits, and I wish him the best as he embarks on this new journey.” Lokesh hinted that Vijay’s decision to focus on politics could affect the timeline, but he remains hopeful about working together again if the opportunity arises.
Currently, Lokesh is immersed in his latest venture, Coolie, which is progressing steadily through its filming schedule. The director provided fans with an update, saying that the movie will wrap up within two more schedules, with a release date to follow soon after. He clarified that Coolie is not connected to his ongoing cinematic universe, the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), which he launched with Kaithi in 2019 and expanded with Vikram and Leo. Although Coolie stands independently, Lokesh reassured fans that a major LCU movie is in the pipeline, featuring beloved characters from across his films. He even teased a possible title for Leo 2, suggesting it could be called Parthiban, and shared that his upcoming stories will continue to explore action-packed narratives over the next five years.
Meanwhile, Vijay, who has become a major figure in Tamil Nadu, appears to be gradually stepping away from films to focus on his political ambitions. He is currently working on Thalapathy 69, directed by H. Vinoth and starring Pooja Hegde as the female lead. This project, rumored to be Vijay’s last for some time, has intensified interest among fans as they wonder about his evolving path. As he balances acting and politics, Vijay’s presence remains strong, and fans are keenly following his next steps.
With the possibility of Leo 2 and other thrilling LCU films on the horizon, both Lokesh and Vijay are setting new benchmarks for the Kollywood industry. Lokesh’s cinematic universe continues to expand, redefining action thrillers, while Vijay’s political focus adds a new layer to his legacy, making this an exhilarating time for audiences.
