The dream of director Lokesh Kanagaraj is going wider after his successful feats like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo were claimed as installments for his cinematic universe with a serious but sensitive connection. How can this new introduction for installments impact the illumination of the L.C.U.?
‘Benz’ is expected to be a Tamil language action thriller that will be written and directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan based on a story by Kanagaraj, where Sudhan Sundharam for The Route Productions, Jagadish Palanisamy for Passion Studios, and the creator himself for G-Squad Productions will be bankrolling the effort respectively. Actor, director, and dance choreographer Raghava Lawrence is expected to play the titular and main lead character.
As its premise suggests, the universe follows an elaborate conflict between law enforcement officers and vigilantes in South India who are at war against dangerous drug cartels led by powerful crime lords. How can this small effort create something distinctive?
Subsequently, the character of Lawrence in this upcoming flick is expected to have an anti-hero shade and result in a pivotal role in the connection of other important characters in the cinematic universe that can be a treat for a balanced flavour of a profound commercial entertainer.
Furthermore, the character will have an unavoidable presence in its upcoming sequels like ‘Kaithi 2’ and ‘Vikram 2’ which are most anticipated by the audience.
On an important note, the upbringing of new talents in the creative position with the aid of such a massive project is an appreciable aspect of the creator. This can pave the way for other standalone movies to become remarkable in both business returns as well as content.
Again, the actor’s performance will be a key element for such a flick that can reasonably attract the local audience to which they can easily connect with the universe based on his previous works like ‘Jigarthanda Doublex’ and ‘Kanchana’.
On the contrary, the upcoming 10-minute short film named ‘Chapter Zero’ will have references from the installments in the franchise that can ensure watchable prospects for its sequels en route thereby becoming a profound achievement at the box office.
