In his directorial feature debut, Lokesh made a thriller and titled it as “Maanagaram”, which performed well at the box office. He wrote the script and directed by describing the story’s structure as “hyperlinked” subplots. It has Sundeep Kishan, Sri, Regina Cassandra, Madhusudhan Rao, and Charle as the main cast.

His second film Kaithi revolves around a story of a released prisoner who spent 10 years of Jail sentence. On his way to meet his daughter for the first time, the protagonist was forced to help a senior police officer from deadly drug lords. In the midway of making Kaithi, Lokesh got the opportunity of directing Vijay, one of the most bankable star in Tamil film industry.

Before making the first two films, Lokesh made a tele film and titled it as “Kalam”. The film revolves around a plot about the tragedy between a group of filmmakers and gangsters. Now an old picture of Lokesh Kanagaraj meeting Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi to show his tele film is going viral.
