Being part of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Cinematic Universe (LCU) is a big deal for any actor. But when Samyuktha was offered Benz, the fourth instalment in LCU, she reacted to the film not as an actor, but as a fan. “I thought that if I took the narration, I would be the first person to know what happens next,” she laughed.

The actor is currently shooting the Tamil action drama that stars Raghava Lawrence and Nivin Pauly. An LCU offering is known as much for its star presence as for its action, and Benz is no different. If anything, it may only up the ante in terms of the star presence.

Samyuktha teased that popular characters from LCU’s previous films — Karthi’s Kaithi (2019), Kamal Haasan’s Vikram (2022), and Vijay’s Leo (2023) — will make appearances in Benz. She shared, “The makers developed [new] characters around the other popular characters of previous films. You will get excited about [how they are all] connected. The makers have brought the popular characters from the previous films here, and not as cameos. I don’t want to name names and say what exactly is happening. Similarly, the characters introduced in Benz will be seen in the next parts.”

The actor also described Benz as a story that the audience won’t be “expecting”. “It’s a rooted and stylish universe. It’s our very own Avengers, and fans are seeing all their favourite actors in one place.”
