Director Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Facebook Page Hacked

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for films like Kaithi and Vikram, recently fell victim to a Facebook hacking incident. The filmmaker took to his official X (formerly Twitter) platform to address the issue and provide clarity to his followers. In his post, Lokesh clarified that he is only active on Twitter and Instagram, disclaiming any other social media accounts. He urged followers to ignore and unfollow any hoax accounts that may have emerged due to the hacking. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is gearing up for the release of his maiden production venture, Fight Club, typically uses his Facebook page for sharing updates related to his movies. However, he maintains a more frequent and interactive presence on his X account. The director’s recent film, Leo, starring Thalapathy Vijay, was well-received, breaking traditional hero stereotypes and earning praise for its portrayal of the superstar. Lokesh is set to collaborate with Superstar Rajinikanth for his upcoming film, tentatively titled Thalaivar 171. The casting for the film is still in progress, with names like Raghava Lawrence and Sivakarthikeyan rumored to be involved. Additionally, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s cinematic universe (LCU) is expanding, as revealed by actor Narain, who disclosed that Lokesh has completed a 10-minute short film serving as the origin story of LCU. The short film, a prequel to Kaithi, is expected to provide insights into the universe’s backstory. Amid these developments, the hacking incident adds an unexpected twist to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s digital presence, emphasizing the need for vigilance on social media.
