Famous Tamil director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is now busy promoting his film Coolie, recently shared an interesting story. In a new interview, he said that he was originally supposed to act as the villain in the upcoming movie Parasakthi, which stars Sivakarthikeyan.
Lokesh Kanagaraj Almost Played Villain in Parasakthi
Lokesh said he really liked the story of Parasakthi and was excited about the role. Sivakarthikeyan himself had suggested that Lokesh should take up the role of the antagonist. However, Lokesh was also working on Coolie at the same time. Because of the tight schedule, he had to say no to Parasakthi. He said it would have been impossible to handle both projects at once.

After this, director Arun Matheswaran approached Lokesh for another film, and Lokesh agreed to do it. Lokesh is now training in martial arts for that film. After finishing this project, he plans to start Kaithi 2, the sequel to his hit film Kaithi, starring Karthi. He is also planning a superhero film with Aamir Khan in the future.
The villain role in Parasakthi has now gone to Ravi Mohan. The movie is directed by Sudha Kongara, and the cast includes Sivakarthikeyan, Sreeleela, and Atharvaa. There are also reports that Rana Daggubati may be part of the film, but the makers have not confirmed this yet.
