Kaithi 2: Is Anushka Shetty playing the female lead, here's what we know | Exclusive

Lokesh Kanagaraj is the man of the moment, and he is giving finishing touches to his new film, Coolie, which has Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, and Upendra in key roles. Post this film, Lokesh will get back to his cinematic universe and make Kaithi 2 with Karthi, and he has confirmed the same already. The film has already been announced, and pre-production is in full swing.

Anushka Shetty's name gets associated with Kaithi 2

For the last two days, news has come out that none other than Anushka Shetty will be playing the female lead and that she has signed the dotted line. But we at OTTplay have come to know that there is no truth to this news, and the reports circulating are false.

One of the sources close to Anushka from Hyderabad has confirmed to us that no one has even approached her to date and that whatever news is being circulated is not true. The source goes on to add that Anushka is done with the shoot of her Telugu film Ghaati and has not committed to any other Tamil or Telugu film to date.

As Lokesh Kanagaraj is one of the top directors in the country right now, whatever he does becomes a topic of discussion. His name is also in the news as Bollywood star Aamir Khan is playing a cameo in Coolie, and he has been praising Lokesh wherever he goes.

Lokesh Kanagaraj to team up with Aamir Khan

Once Lokesh is done with the shoot of Kaithi 2, he will do a film with Aamir Khan, which has made things quite interesting. But the film in discussion right now is Kaithi 2, and fans of Karthi were thrilled to hear that Anushka Shetty would team up with the star hero, making for a great pair. Sadly, none of this news is true.

One can see Anushka after a long gap in Ghaati, which has been directed by Krish of Vedham fame. She will be seen in a crazy role in this film, which also features Vikram Prabhu, the noted Tamil actor, in a key role. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
