As director Lokesh Kanagaraj celebrates his birthday, wishes are pouring in from fans and the film industry alike. To mark the occasion, Sun Pictures, the production company behind his upcoming film 'Coolie', has released a special tribute video. The video beautifully compiles scenes from his debut film 'Maanagaram' to his latest project 'Coolie', showcasing his remarkable journey in cinema.

A standout aspect of the video is its clever use of dialogues—it begins with Kamal Haasan’s iconic line “Aarampikkalama?” from 'Vikram' and concludes with Rajinikanth’s powerful “Mudichiralama?” from Coolie, symbolizing Lokesh's cinematic evolution.

Lokesh Kanagaraj made his directorial debut in 2017 with Maanagaram and has since delivered five consecutive blockbusters: Kaithi (starring Karthi), Master (starring Vijay), Vikram (starring Kamal Haasan), and Leo (starring Vijay).

Currently, he is directing 'Coolie' with Superstar Rajinikanth, and the film’s shooting is reportedly nearing completion. Fans are eagerly awaiting yet another milestone in Lokesh’s illustrious career!

Wishing the super talented filmmaker who redefined modern cinema, @Dir_Lokesh a very happy birthday!#HBDLokeshKanagaraj #HappyBirthdayLokeshKanagaraj #HBDLoki pic.twitter.com/5N7bECOZYG
