Recently, renowned Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is praised for his intense blockbusters like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo, revealed his own artistic preferences.

In a candid conversation with film critic Sudhir Srinivasan, the director shared, “Only time can tell, and Vijay Anna has to decide. We can bring him in for a cameo, but I want to do Master with him. Everyone is waiting for Leo 2, but I want to do Master with him.”

Expanding on his vision, Lokesh explained why Master remains close to him. “I think there’s a part of that story which remains untold. It’s there in the first one without any conclusion. I just want to do that film. I personally like the vibe of JD very much. Leo is a strong character and people love it, but if you personally ask me, I have a proper idea for Master 2 and he also knows it. But it’s all about timing – he now has other things he wants to achieve.”
