Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the popular directors of Kollywood. He introduced a never-before-seen concept of creating a universe with the characters of his movies, which was a tremendous success and has become a trendsetter.
Lokesh Kanagaraj's Cinematic Universe (LCU) was set with the movies Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Also in Kamal Haasan's Vikram movie, he introduced the character Rolex, which has acquired a huge fan base for Suriya.

In this scenario, his most celebrated universe trend may face a downfall, as previously he himself has written and directed his universe movies, but now, due to other commitments, he started to give his story to other directors to direct LCU characters.
One of his stories, Benz, starring Raghava Lawrence as the lead, is now being directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan, known for his movies such as Remo and Sulthan.
A promo video featuring Lokesh Kanagaraj was released yesterday. In it, Raghava Lawrence is seen in a never-before-seen avatar, and his Benz character is introduced with a butcher knife.
Fans have already started to decode and share their conspiracies on social media that, introducing the character Benz with a butcher knife, may have a connection with Suriya's Rolex character.
However, this is a huge risk for Lokesh Kanagaraj, as his LCU was a blockbuster success among the audience, but now a new director directing the movie in LCU may end up as a downfall of LCU for Lokesh Kanagaraj, says the audiences on social media.
