While in Kochi for a press conference to promote his most recent movie, Poru, actor Kalidas Jayaram revealed some important details about the next project in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
The young actor disclosed that in director Lokesh Kanagaraj's short film, which is a part of his LCU franchise, he and Arjun Das will both return to their respective roles as Prabhanjan and Anbu.
Furthermore, he declared that, since Arjun was the one who suggested Lokesh's name to him, he would give Arjun credit for his role in the Kamal Haasan movie Vikram. He said, "Arjun did not even know me personally, or we had not met at that time."

Regarding his role in Por, Kalidas asserted that the two actors had played opposite roles in the action movie. "Arjun is portraying a role that I typically play in my previous works, and vice versa," he continued. The actor continued by saying that people who were watching the movie thought this was an interesting part.
In response to a question concerning why he is not working on a Malayalam project, he stated that he would be happy to work on any worthwhile project, regardless of language. Kalidas also mentioned that he wanted to portray a variety of roles. "When we choose to always play the same kinds of roles, it gets boring. When they witness us acting similarly, the audience will experience the same things," he said.
The actor emphasised that quality is more important than quantity and that actors should concentrate on working on films that leave an impact on viewers.
Por is the Tamil name for the action drama starring Arjun Das and Kalidas Jayaram; Harshvardhan Rane and Ehan Bhatt star in the Hindi version, Dange. The films, directed by Bejoy Nambiar, were released on March 1.
Por's teaser features two youngsters who are incompatible. There is fierce rivalry between them as it grows. The film explores the "complexities of friendship, cultural identity, and the unyielding spirit of rivalry" and is supposedly set during a college festival.
