BUZZ: Is Lokesh Kanagaraj making Irumbu Kai Mayavi with Aamir Khan instead of Suriya?
As per an ongoing buzz, director Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to direct Aamir Khan in the movie Irumbu Kai Mayavi, and not Suriya. Here are the details!
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj often discusses his much-awaited project, Irumbu Kai Mayavi. Initially, the film was speculated to have Suriya in the lead, but it seems the director might be changing the scale of the project and featuring Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan instead.
According to a report by OTTplay, Lokesh and Aamir are likely to collaborate on the superhero flick as their maiden project together. The director has been speculated for quite some time to be in talks with the actor for a movie, though an official confirmation of the project has not been made.
Despite the ongoing buzz, there hasn’t been any confirmation about the movie, and more details will only be revealed in due time. Initially, the movie, which is said to be based on DC Comics’ The Steel Claw, was supposed to have Suriya in the lead. However, as both the actor and director are busy with their individual projects, the collaboration is yet to happen.
The story of Irumbu Kai Mayavi tells the tale of a protagonist who loses his hand and is forced to live with a metal claw. With his new hand and extended superpowers, the man dives into investigating and fighting crime as a vigilante.
Moving forward, Suriya is currently preparing for his next release, Retro, directed by Karthik Subbaraj. The film, which is said to be a romantic action flick, features Pooja Hegde as the romantic lead, with actors like Joju George, Jayaram, Karunakaran, Nassar, Prakash Raj, and many more in key roles. The film is slated to release on May 1, 2025.
On the other hand, Lokesh Kanagaraj is working on the Rajinikanth starrer Coolie. The film, which is said to be a high-octane action flick, will likely have the superstar in a negatively-shaded role. Actors like Nagarjuna Akkineni and Upendra Rao are also playing prominent parts.
Additionally, the film will feature actors like Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj in supporting roles. Moreover, the movie will likely have Aamir Khan make a cameo appearance as well.
