In what came as a major surprise for Tamil cinema audiences on Tuesday evening, November 7, 'Thalapathy' Vijay's manager Jagadish posted photos of the actor with 'Ulaganayagan' Kamal Haasan presumably clicked during the dubbing of Leo sometime back. The first picture, which also includes filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj and producer Lalit Kumar, has since taken social media by storm and once again created new excitement in regard to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Shared as a tribute to Kamal Haasan on the occasion of his birthday yesterday, Jagadish wrote on X, "I have always known you as a Legend as far as my memory goes back. I was fortunate to spend time with you and was immensely surprised to see how down to earth you approach each and every aspect. Wishing you a happy birthday @ikamalhaasan sir . a LEGEND forever #Thalapathy @actorvijay @Dir_Lokesh @7screenstudio #HBDUlagaNayagan #Leo" (sic)

The evening didn't come to an end with the group photo as Jagadish dropped yet another surprise after a fan requested him to post similar photos. Vijay's manager then went to share a picture of the actor and Kamal Haasan posing together and smiling, which has since received a phenomenal response. Ever since the special photo moment with Kamal Haasan and Vijay dropped yesterday evening, fans have been discussing the future of the LCU and what plans Lokesh Kanagaraj must be having to carry forward his overarching story.

Kamal Haasan made a voice-only cameo reprising his role as Vikram from Vikram (2022) in 'Thalapathy' Vijay's Leo released in October, which has since turned out to be a raging box office money-spinner minting more than 500 crores worldwide gross collections, with the film still going strong in theatres. With Leo established to be a part of the LCU, fans are now looking forward to Lokesh Kanagaraj completing his Thalaivar 171 with 'Superstar' Rajinikanth, and then kick-starting his Kaithi 2 with Karthi, a standalone film on Suriya's character Rolex from Kaithi (2019), including the possibility of a reunion with Vijay for Leo 2, with Vikram 2 ending the all-encompassing story.
