On January 26, 2026, popular director Lokesh Kanagaraj addressed the media and spoke about two important topics that are currently in the spotlight.
First, he discussed the mixed reactions to his high-octane, action-packed thrillers. Over the years, Lokesh’s films have been praised for their gripping stories and stylish presentation, but some critics and viewers feel that his movies glorify violence. Speaking at the press event, Lokesh defended his approach, saying, “My films are meant to entertain and thrill the audience. Action is a part of the story, but it is never just about violence. Every scene has a purpose and drives the plot forward.”
The second topic Lokesh touched upon was the much-anticipated project of Thalapathy Vijay, titled ‘Jana Nayagan’. Fans of the superstar have been eagerly waiting for updates about this film, and Lokesh made a big announcement: he confirmed that he will be collaborating with Vijay on this project. He added that the movie is shaping up to be an exciting venture, promising a fresh story, engaging action sequences, and memorable moments for the fans.
Lokesh’s presence in the film has further increased the excitement around it. Social media was abuzz following his announcement, with fans expressing their joy and anticipation for the upcoming release. Many are already speculating about the story, the other cast members, and the style of the film, hoping that it will become another blockbuster in Vijay’s career.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s interaction not only cleared doubts about his filmmaking style but also gave fans something to look forward to: an action-packed collaboration with one of Tamil cinema’s biggest stars.
