Sivakarthikeyan, who is currently busy with Madraasi directed by A.R. Murugadoss and Parasakthi helmed by Sudha Kongara, may have another exciting collaboration in the works. Industry buzz suggests that none other than Lokesh Kanagaraj could be directing his next film.

With several top directors reportedly lining up to work with Sivakarthikeyan—including Venkat Prabhu—sources now claim that Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to team up with the star after wrapping up Coolie. Before moving on to the highly anticipated Kaithi 2, Lokesh is said to be planning a new film with Sivakarthikeyan in the lead.

Adding more intrigue to the project is speculation that Shruti Haasan may be cast opposite Sivakarthikeyan. Shruti, who is already part of Coolie and has previously worked with Lokesh Kanagaraj on a music album, seems to be a strong contender for the female lead.

If confirmed, this would mark a first-time on-screen pairing between Sivakarthikeyan and Shruti Haasan—an exciting prospect for fans. However, as of now, an official announcement is awaited to confirm the cast and crew.
