Lokesh Kanagaraj yet to finalise lead cast for next film

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who made a splash with his Tamil directorial debut Maanagaram earlier this year, says he hasn’t yet finalised the lead cast for his next yet-untitled Tamil outing.

Reports suggested that Kanagaraj is teaming up with actor Karthi.

“I’m yet to narrate my script to Karthi. What’s confirmed as of now is that my next film will also be produced by S.R. Prabhu [producer of Maanagaram]. In a month’s time, we will finalise the lead cast and make an official announcement,” said Kanagaraj.

Tipped to be a supernatural thriller, the film will begin production later this year.

Karthi, meanwhile, is set to commence work on a yet-untitled project in his brother Suriya’s production.
