Highlights
- Coolie is a standalone film and not a part of LCU.
- It is the first collaboration of Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj.
Coolie is an upcoming action thriller movie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film stars Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role with Nagarjuna and Shruthi Haasan playing pivotal roles. Some reports suggest that Bollywood King Shah Rukh Khan appeared in a cameo role. Unfortunately, there are no official statements to back the claim that SRK is a part of Coolie.
Updates
To celebrate Superstar Rajinikanth’s birthday, the filmmakers unveiled a special glimpse video featuring the lively song Chikitu Vibe which garnered an overwhelming response from fans and viewers. The highlight of this video is Thalaivar’s dynamic dance performance, perfectly complemented by Aniruth’s energetic and catchy track.
The makers released the first look cast poster for Soubin Shahir who is playing the role of Dayal and Nagarjuna who is playing the role of Simon. On August 30, Shruti Haasan‘s first look poster was released and she is portraying the character called Preethi.
The title teaser shows Rajinikanth as a stylish gangster character who is a master in the world of thieves and gangsters. The video shows a warehouse filled with stolen gold ornaments like watches and biscuits where Superstar breaks inside the premises with a mass entry and defeats the goons like it’s nothing. Anirudh Ravichander composed a dancing number, Disco, for this title teaser, which is receiving rave reviews from the audience.
Coolie poster shows Rajinikanth holding a rope made of golden watches strapped together. This confirms that Anbariv choreographed an amazing fight scene where the protagonist uses the watches to fight the goons. In another poster, Rajinikanth is seen handcuffed with the watches. Based on his avatar, he seems to be portraying the role of a 70s gangster.
