Once a rising star of Mollywood, Nivin Pauly delivered one superhit after another in the mid-2010s. At that time, his success rate even surpassed that of Mohanlal and Mammootty. However, things have changed; he is currently at a low point in his career, having failed to deliver a single financially successful solo film in over half a decade.

Lokesh Kanagaraj, Nivin Pauly, Raghava Lawrence, and Bakkiyaraj Kannan: What’s Happening in Kollywood?

If reports are to be believed, Nivin is heading to a new playground: Kollywood. According to 123Telugu, the upcoming film titled Benz, starring Raghava Lawrence, will feature Nivin Pauly as the antagonist, and interestingly, the film doesn’t have a typical heroine. Blockbuster director Lokesh Kanagaraj is also part of the project, but not as the director. The direction is being handled by Bakkiyaraj Kannan.

So, what is Lokesh Kanagaraj’s role? The film is based on his story, and he is also one of the producers, collaborating with Sudhan Sundaram and Jagadish Palanisamy. Reports suggest that Benz is part of the Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU), so it is likely to be a brutal and bloody project. The film is currently in production, and its OTT rights have already been acquired by Netflix.
