Coming to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s work front, the director once again confirmed he is next working on Kaithi 2. Afterwards, he will likely work with Aamir Khan for his superhero flick.
Talking about the Aamir film, the director said, “After Kaithi 2, my next would be Aamir sir’s movie. It will be a Hindi film but meant for a global audience, not just for Indians.
