DC, starring Lokesh Kanagaraj and Wamiqa Gabbi, achieved box office success in multiple regions.
Director Arun Matheswaran and Lokesh Kanagaraj are likely to collaborate again.
Sun Pictures and Anirudh are expected to return for the new project.
Lokesh Kanagaraj will begin work with Allu Arjun in 2027 before his next acting venture.
Lokesh Kanagaraj, who headlined the film DC, has seen remarkable success with the project directed by Arun Matheswaran. Released in late 2024, DC performed exceptionally well at the box office, drawing impressive numbers not only in the Telugu states but also in Kerala and overseas markets. Wamiqa Gabbi starred alongside Lokesh, adding to the film’s appeal.
Industry reports indicate that the strong performance of DC has sparked discussions about another collaboration between Lokesh Kanagaraj and Arun Matheswaran. While no official confirmation has been made, sources suggest that the duo is likely to team up again, with plans for the new project to begin by the end of next year. Sun Pictures, which was associated with DC, is expected to return as the production house, and Anirudh is anticipated to handle the music once more.
Looking ahead, Lokesh Kanagaraj already has a major project lined up with Icon Star Allu Arjun, which is scheduled to commence in 2027. According to reports, Lokesh will focus on his second film as a lead actor after completing the Allu Arjun project. The prospect of another Lokesh-Arun collaboration has generated considerable buzz among fans, especially after DC’s commercial success.
