Director Lokesh Kanagaraj who made an impressive directorial debut with Maanagaram in 2017 has also last year helmed Kaithi with Karthi, and it also became a huge hit with the audiences and critics alike. For the third film Master, he managed to rope in Vijay to play the lead role but is currently on hold to the prevailing pandemic. Lokesh has made no secret about his admiration for Kamal Haasan. He even claimed that Kamal’s 2004 crime drama Virumandi was the major inspiration behind Kaithi.
He is very thankful to God for being picked as the director for Kamal Haasan’s next which has a tagline…“Once upon a time there lived a ghost”. It is a big break for Lokesh. The project will be bankrolled by Kamal Haasan’s production banner Raaj Kamal Films International. It is said that Bigg Boss fame Tharshan will play an important role in this film. According to reports, the shoot will happen in and around Chennai. And the movie will hit screens during summer 2021.
