Superstar Rajinikanth’s next theatrical release is Coolie, a gangster action drama. The film marks the first collaboration between Thalaivar and the most sought-after director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Coolie is a standalone project and is in no way related to Lokesh Kanagaraj Cinematic Universe (LCU).
The big-ticket entertainer is slated for a grand release on August 14, 2025. With just 100 days to go for the release, the team has dropped a countdown video offering a glimpse into the world of Coolie. Lokesh teases fans with the back postures of Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj. At the end, we see Rajini against a sunset backdrop.
Rajinikanth’s clip brings back memories of the iconic sunset shot from Dhalapathi. Anirudh has crafted a pulsating and addictive background score for this short video byte, elevating Superstar. After Rajini, King Nagarjuna grabs the spotlight in this countdown video as he casually walks through a port, adjusting his hair.
Nagarjuna fans are stunned by the actor’s impressive screen presence and are left wanting more of the Tollywood actor. Coolie is also special since Bollywood star hero Aamir Khan makes a cameo appearance. Shruthi Hassan is in for a supporting role. Sun Pictures is bankrolling this flick.
