After Vijay, Lokesh Kanagaraj joins hands with Kamal Haasan

Lokesh Kanakaraj is one of the most talented directors in Kollywood, and his previous movie ‘Kaithi’ was a blockbuster at the box-officer. The director is now awaiting the release of his new movie ‘Master’ that features Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles.

In the meantime, Lokesh Kanagaraj has announced his next movie, and it will have none other than Ulaganayagan Kamal Haasan in the lead role. This film will be the actor’s 232nd project in his career, and the makers have now titled it ‘Evanendru Ninaithaai’.

Lokesh Kanagaraj himself released the first look poster of this movie, and it clearly indicates that the film will be an in and out action thriller. The first look poster is dipped in blood red color, and it carried the tagline ‘Once upon a time, there lived a ghost’. Expectations surrounding this movie have already reached new heights, as Evandendru Ninaithai marks the union of two impeccable talents, Kamal and Logesh.

Anirudh Ravichander will be composing the music for this film. Evandendru Ninaithai will be bankrolled by Kamal Haasan himself in the banner of Raj Kamal Films Internation (RKFI). The film is scheduled to have its theatrical release on the summer of 2021.

Earlier, several online reports had claimed that Logesh Kanakaraj has decided to release his upcoming movie Master via OTT platforms, as theaters in the country remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, Logesh Kanakaraj soon clarified that the film demands a theatrical hit, and it will be released soon after the reopening of movie halls in the country.

On the other hand, Kamal Haasan’s previous movie to hit the theaters was Vishwaroopam 2. Even though released with a huge pre-release hype, the film bombed at the box-office. Fans of Kamal Haasan believe that the actor will end his hit draught as he is now joining hands with a hitmaker like Logesh.
