Lokesh Kanagaraj, director of the recent release Maanagaram, was in for a surprise yesterday on the occasion of his birthday (March 14). He received a call from none other than
Superstar
Rajinikanth. The veteran actor had called the director to wish him on his birthday and also to congratulate on the film Maanagaram. He had also called the film’s producer
SR Prabhu. The director, who is already basking in the good reviews of the film, couldn’t have asked for a better gift. In the meantime, he is all set to direct SR Prabhu’s next project as well. He posted on his micro-blogging page, “Happy birthday @dir_lokesh ! Glad to announce that #LokeshKanagaraj will direct his next film for us!’’
