Chennai, March 14 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the most in-demand Indian filmmakers because of his ability to connect with the masses through his films. His filmography, though it is just 6 films old, is full of blockbusters, and the future line-up promises to take things a notch higher.## Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed 2 films in the pipeline, including the currently on-floors Coolie starring superstar Rajinikanth. The second one is Karthi-fronted Kaithi 2 which is a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). However, Lokesh might direct another film before this blockbuster sequel. ## It is known to all that superstar Aamir Khan is playing a cameo role in Lokesh's Coolie and it was also reported earlier that the duo would team up for a full-fledged film. Now, as per the rumours in the media, Kaithi 2, which was supposed to be Loki's immediate next after Coolie, is set to be delayed. ## The rumours say that Lokesh might direct Aamir Khan after Rajinikanth-starrer as has been reported earlier. In his birthday post to Aamir, director Lokesh hinted at more collaboration with him though he didn't mention any of it directly. ## There isn't an official yet but if the rumours are true, then it is disappointing news for the LCU fans. However, at the same time, if the duo of Lokesh and Aamir join hands for a full-fledged feature film, then it will surely be the talk of the town and easily be one of the biggest collaborations between North and South.## Stay tuned...
