Lokesh Kanagaraj, who faced a lot of flak after the release of his latest film Coolie, is expected to join hands with actor Allu Arjun. This project is expected to be Irumbu Kai Mayavi, a superhero film which has been Lokesh’s dream project for a while.

It is to be noted that Lokesh was supposed to do this film with Suriya first, and then was fixed with Aamir Khan.

Lokesh Kanagaraj and Allu Arjun’s collaboration is yet to get any formal announcement, but if it is on cards, it will be the first time they will be working together. Allu Arjun is currently working with Atlee for a mega budget feature, which has Deepika Padukone as one of the leads.
