Lokesh recently spoke about LCU at an event, as clarified by a video posted by Galatta. He addressed the speculation around LCU and said, “There was buzz going around that the LCU was closed and all. I would close GSquad if it came to it, but I cannot close the LCU. First of all, I didn't even name it; it was a tag given by fans online, and I just adopted it. I'm still following it now,” offering to shut down his production house instead.

He also reminded people that he has additional commitments at LCU, including sequels to Kaiti and Vikram, as well as Rolex. “I cannot come out and abruptly say, no, I am not making any more films in the LCU. Be it Kaithi 2, Vikram 2, or the Rolex standalone film, these are all my commitments. The LCU is not closed; it will continue. After I finish Allu Arjun sir's film, I will work on it. Also, Benz, under my production banner, is happening, and that is also a part of the LCU,” said the filmmaker.
