Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the most sought-after filmmakers in Indian cinema today. Known for his gripping storytelling and stylish execution, he has delivered blockbusters like Kaithi and Vikram. His collaboration with superstar Rajinikanth in Jailer further cemented his reputation as a director with a unique vision. Now, all eyes are on his next big project—a film with Bollywood icon Aamir Khan.

The Irumbu Kai Mayavi Misconception

Recently, rumors swirled that Lokesh’s upcoming film with Aamir Khan is titled Irumbu Kai Mayavi (Iron Hand Magician). However, in an interview with Valaipechu Voice, Lokesh clarified that Irumbu Kai Mayavi was an old script he had written long ago and is not the current project with Aamir. This statement put an end to the speculation, leaving fans curious about what the duo is actually working on.

Aamir Khan’s Brief Role in Rajinikanth’s Coolie

Before diving into their full-fledged collaboration, Aamir Khan made a special appearance in Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Though his role was brief, it sparked excitement among fans, hinting at a potential future partnership. Given Aamir’s selective film choices and Lokesh’s rising stardom, their official project together has become one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema.

What’s Next for Lokesh and Aamir?

While details about their film remain under wraps, sources suggest it will be a high-octane action thriller—a genre Lokesh excels in. Aamir, known for his perfectionism, is likely to bring his A-game to this project. Given Lokesh’s knack for crafting intense narratives and Aamir’s ability to immerse himself in diverse roles, this collaboration promises to be a cinematic treat.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Future Projects

Apart from the Aamir Khan film, Lokesh has a packed slate:

Leo 2 – Following the massive success of Leo starring Vijay, a sequel is in the works, with fans eagerly awaiting more of Lokesh’s signature action and drama.

Kaithi 2 – The sequel to the highly acclaimed Kaithi is also in development, with Karthi reprising his role as Dilli.

Vikram 2? – While not officially confirmed, rumors suggest another installment in the Vikram universe might be on the cards.

Lokesh’s ability to weave interconnected stories (as seen in the LCU—Lokesh Cinematic Universe) has set a new benchmark in Indian cinema. His future projects indicate that he is here to redefine storytelling with his distinct style.

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s partnership with Aamir Khan is undoubtedly one of the most exciting developments in recent times. With his old script Irumbu Kai Mayavi now clarified as a separate entity, fans can look forward to a fresh, thrilling experience from this powerhouse duo. Meanwhile, Lokesh’s expanding filmography continues to promise edge-of-the-seat entertainment, making him a director to watch out for in the coming years.
