Actor Ravi Mohan has officially become part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) through its upcoming film Benz. The announcement was made by filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, who welcomed the actor with a special first-look poster and behind-the-scenes photographs.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Lokesh shared the update, writing, “Welcome to the universe @iam_RaviMohan sir.” The first-look image shows Ravi Mohan seated inside a public bus with a contemplative expression, while additional BTS pictures capture him sharing a cheerful moment with director Bakkiyaraj Kannan on set.
With Ravi Mohan’s addition, Benz boasts an impressive ensemble featuring Raghava Lawrence, Nivin Pauly, and Samyuktha. The film marks the fourth chapter in the ever-expanding LCU, following the success of Kaithi (2019), Vikram (2022), and Leo (2023).
Although Lokesh Kanagaraj is not directing the project, he remains closely involved as the film’s writer and producer under his banner, G Squad.
Reports suggest that Nivin Pauly will portray the primary antagonist, while Raghava Lawrence takes center stage as the protagonist. Details regarding Ravi Mohan’s character remain under wraps, but the first-look poster hints at him playing a positive role within the story.
Industry buzz further indicates that Ravi Mohan’s character could have a larger significance within the LCU, potentially extending into future installments such as Kaithi 2 and Vikram 2. However, an official confirmation regarding these plans is still awaited.
With every new casting announcement, Benz continues to raise excitement among fans eager to see how the Lokesh Cinematic Universe expands in the years ahead.
