'Kaithi 2' may have been shelved. When asked about the sequel, actor Karthi on Wednesday said that he has no idea when the film will go on the floors. "That's one update I have no idea about," Karthi said, breaking into a laugh. Such a response wouldn't have come from him had the project been on the cards. Since the film has failed to take off for years, it should be deemed to have been shelved temporarily.
Lokesh Kanagaraj was supposed to take it up by now. The director feels he is cut out for bigger projects. So, he has abandoned 'Kaithi 2'.
Here is what Karthi said last year: "Like everyone else, I am waiting for 'Kaithi 2' and 'Rolex', both to be directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Discussions are going on. 'Kaithi 2' would have happened in January 2024 but for Kanagaraj's commitment to do a film with Superstar Rajinikanth (referring to 'Coolie')."
