Telugu is fascinated by Lokesh Kanagaraj

It seems Lokesh Kanagaraj is the flavor of the season. Telugu stars are keen to work with a Tamil director known for hits like Vikram and Leo. Now even NTR is in talks to do a film with him while Pawan Kalyan praised him. “He is the man of the season as he makes big star films with novel content and treatment,” says a source.

He claims that there is a dearth of star-centric filmmakers in Tollywood, which is why they are looking for directors from other languages. “Lokesh delivered hits with superstars like Kamal Haasan, Vijay and Karthi and became a sought-after director in Kollywood. “He will be working with Telugu superstars soon and it is just a matter of time,” he points out.

Although he reportedly charges Rs 40 crore plus remuneration, Telugu producers wouldn’t mind paying him as a Telugu star would definitely reveal their dates. “Get Lokesh, we will give you appointments” is the sentiment among A-listers in Telugu. They want to make action-adventures and reach audiences across India and Lokesh is one of their favorite directors to expand their fan base,” he concludes.

In fact, Lokesh has become popular among Telugu viewers since his dubbed films like ‘Khadi’, ‘Vikram’ and ‘Leo’ thrilled Telugu viewers and fetched good collections in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
