"When Rolex' standalone movie releases, it will be the next anti-hero film in 10 years after Mangatha!!! Even Mangatha just caught us by surprise! So Rolex' would be the first premeditated anti-hero movie in Tamil history?! Kollywood leapfrogged several decades..!," wrote a fan on X.
"Rolex vs Dilli is a definite masterpiece," said the other.
Director Lokesh is building a cinematic universe, which is popularly known as LCU. This movie series started with the director's runway hit Kaithi, starring Karthi as ex-convict Dilli. And the universe further expanded with Vikram.
At the end of the Vikram, Suriya makes an explosive cameo as Rolex, a ruthless and the most dangerous drug boss.
Lokesh has revealed that he will first finish Kaithi 2 before he starts working on the standalone movie for Rolex.
