One of the most anticipated pieces of content from filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj was about the origins of the LCU and what the common thread is between Kaithi (2019), Vikram (2022) and Leo (2023).

The action filmmaker has come out with the first look poster of Chapter Zero, the 10-minute prelude to the origins of LCU. The poster with guns laid around, forming a '0' with the text '1 shot, 2 stories and 24 hours'. The short film will be backed by Lokesh's banner G Squad.

This was enough information to set off a lively discussion among the LCU theorists, who by then guessed '1 shot' refers to Kamal Haasan's Vikram, '2 stories' refers to Vijay's Leo, and '24 Hours' meant Karthi's Kaithi.

Users of social media who admired Lokesh Kanagaraj's works shared how excited they were to find out how the element that binds all three films.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, meanwhile, is also busy with Rajinikanth's Coolie, with a star-studded cast of Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and Upendra.
