Popular Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for directing blockbuster hits like Leo and Coolie, is now stepping into a new role as an actor. Lokesh is all set to make his acting debut in the upcoming action-packed movie DC, directed by Arun Matheswaran, the man behind Captain Miller. The film will also feature talented actress Wamiqa Gabbi as the female lead, while music will be composed by the hitmaker Anirudh Ravichander.

With its promising cast, dark visuals, and powerful theme, DC is shaping up to be an exciting addition to Tamil cinema. Fans are eagerly waiting to see how Lokesh Kanagaraj performs as an actor in his debut role.
