Lokesh Kanagaraj is among the fastest rising directors of Tamil cinema. He made his debut with Maanagaram, which made everyone sit up and take notice of his talent. The film is getting remade in Hindi.
He then followed it up with Kaithi starring Karthi in the lead. Despite clashing with Vijay's Bigil at the box office, the film held on to its own and was both a commercial and a critical winner.
His biggest-ever release came in the form of Vijay's Master, which released for Pongal this year and helped bring the crowds back to the theatres. He is now directing Kamal Haasan in Vikram in which Prabhudeva also plays a key role.
Recently, Lokesh celebrated his birthday and the pictures are now storming the internet. Popular directors like Mani Ratnam, Shankar and others could be seen celebrating the moment with him.
By far the best birthday ever!!! 😊
Thank you soo much for this Sirs! 🙏 pic.twitter.com/vvdf9MuaXe
