Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Lokesh shot this in 2019 as a proof-of-concept for his universe, hiding it until after Vikram's success made fans hungry for lore.
The title 'Chapter Zero' isn't cute branding — it literally places this before Kaithi's events, with Bejoy's story happening simultaneously to Prabhanjan's raid.
