Lokesh Kanagaraj Achieves A Very Rare Feat As An Actor

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s DC has officially crossed the Rs 100 crore worldwide gross mark, according to the makers. While trade estimates suggest a slightly different figure, the gap is reportedly minimal, and the film is expected to comfortably touch the milestone by this weekend.

With this, Lokesh is set to achieve a rare feat by becoming the first director turned actor to score a 100 crore gross with his debut as a lead actor with a A Rated film. The milestone adds another interesting chapter to his growing career in cinema.

Anirudh Ravichander has emerged as one of the major highlights of the film. His music and background score have played a crucial role in elevating several sequences, while Wamiqa Gabbi has also received appreciation for her excellent performance.

Industry observers feel the film had the potential to achieve even bigger numbers with stronger promotions. The team reportedly did not create enough pre release buzz, particularly in the Telugu states, where the film had significant potential.

Telugu market is important for a film like this, considering Lokesh and Ani’s strong brand among Telugu audiences. However, the initial response was relatively slow, and it took around three to four days for the positive talk to spread and bring more audiences to theatres.

Despite the promotional limitations, DC has managed to find its audience and deliver strong theatrical numbers. The response proves that good content can eventually create momentum even without massive pre release hype.

Overall, Lokesh has made an impressive entry as a hero, and this success could give an additional boost to his upcoming directorial projects. His future outings as both a filmmaker and actor will certainly be interesting to watch.
