Yet to finalise lead cast for my next film: Lokesh

Chennai, June 28 (IANS) Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who made a splash with his Tamil directorial debut "Maanagaram" earlier this year, says he hasn't yet finalised the lead cast for his next yet-untitled Tamil outing.Reports suggested that Lokesh is teaming up with actor Karthi.

"I'm yet to narrate my script to Karthi. What's confirmed as of now is that my next film will also be produced by S.R. Prabhu (producer of 'Maanagaram'). In a month's time, we will finalise the lead cast and make an official announcement," Lokesh told IANS.

Tipped to be a supernatural thriller, the film is slated to go on the floors later this year. Karthi, meanwhile, is set to commence work on a yet-untitled project in his brother Suriya's production. Pandiraj will direct Karthi for Suriya's 2D Entertainment.
