Karthi has been busy promoting his upcoming film, Vaa Vaathiyaar (known as Annagaru Vostaru in Telugu), which was set to release this Friday. During his various interviews, he found himself discussing almost everything except the new movie itself. Interviewers and fans consistently steered conversations back to his previous projects, particularly the highly anticipated sequel that audiences refuse to forget.
Regarding Annagaru Vostaru, Karthi shared a remarkably candid experience. He described the initial script as deeply unsettling, stating it “felt like walking on a knife-edge.” This was a departure from typical actor responses. It took a second narration for him to feel at ease with the material. His honest admission stood out because it felt genuinely unrehearsed.
Inevitably, the question about Kaithi 2 came up. It always does. The original Kaithi film famously propelled Lokesh Kanagaraj into widespread recognition, marking his true breakthrough after Maanagaram. Since then, major stars have eagerly sought to collaborate with him. Yet, when it comes to news about Kaithi 2, there has been nothing. Absolutely no information. When asked again, Karthi simply offered a weary smile and admitted, “I don’t know, the only update I don’t know is Kaithi 2.” Fans have moved past anger; they are now simply pleading for any kind of update.
A popular theory suggests that Lokesh Kanagaraj is completely immersed in his acting debut, DC, directed by Arun Matheswaran. Lokesh is portraying Devadas, with Wamiqa Gabbi as Chandra, and he is reportedly spending all his time on set. This intense commitment might explain why projects like Kaithi 2 and even Vikram 2 have seen no progress. It appears the wait for these sequels will continue for some time.
The ongoing silence surrounding Kaithi 2 continues to fuel fan discussions and speculation, leaving many wondering when, or if, the highly anticipated sequel will finally move forward.
