We had earlier reported that actor Raghava Lawrence will be starring in an action film titled Benz, directed by Bakkiyaraj Kannan and bankrolled by Lokesh Kanagaraj under his G Squad banner.
On Lawrence's 48th birthday, the makers of Benz announced that the film will be a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), which already comprises Kaithi, Vikram and Leo. In a special glimpse announcing the film's inclusion in LCU, Lokesh Kanagaraj is seen describing Benz as "A warrior with a cause is the most dangerous soldier." The portrayal of Benz suggests he will be a ruthless villain like Rolex (Suriya). The glimpse shows Benz as a chef who has a nefarious side to him.
