Names being discussed include some of the biggest icons in Telugu cinema—Pawan Kalyan, Prabhas, Ram Charan, and Allu Arjun. The buzz gained momentum after Kanagaraj reportedly narrated a script to a top hero, fueling expectations that this project could be one of the most ambitious cross-industry collaborations in recent years.

Fans are particularly intrigued because Kanagaraj has already carved a niche with his high-octane action thrillers like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Many wonder whether this Telugu venture will expand his much-discussed Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) or if it might delay the eagerly awaited Kaithi 2. Either way, anticipation is running high, with audiences eager to see how his signature style translates into the Telugu film industry.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation from either Lokesh Kanagaraj or KVN Productions. The silence has only added to the suspense, leaving fans and trade analysts to speculate about casting, storyline, and production timelines. If the reports hold true, this project could mark a significant milestone in Kanagaraj’s career, bridging Tamil and Telugu cinema on a grand scale.
