‘Kaithi 2’, sequel to the 2019 hit Tamil film starring Karthi, will be produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and KVN Productions
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj and actor Karthi have teamed up Kaithi 2. The film, sequel to the 2019 hit Tamil film, will be bankrolled by Dream Warrior Pictures and KVN Productions.
Karthi took to X to announce the development. The actor posted photographs of him with Lokesh and producer S R Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures.
“Dilli Returns,” Karthi wrote, mentioning his character name from the movie. Kaithi, produced by Dream Warrior Pictures and Vivekananda Pictures, was about a prisoner who faces a situation of driving poisoned police officers to the hospital even as he faces the hurdle of overcoming a series of criminals on the way.
A one-night story, Kaithi was an action drama, with Anbariv masters handling the action choreography. Sathyan Sooryan was the cinematographer and Sam CS had composed music.
Kaithi is the first film in the filmmaker’s Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Vikram, starring Kamal Haasan, Fahadh Faasil and Vijay Sethupathi, and the Vijay-starrer Leo are the other two movies in LCU.
