With ‘Coolie’, Lokesh Kanagaraj and Rajinikanth are working together for the first time, and fans are excited about Rajinikanth’s role. Rajinikanth will supposedly be playing a dubious two-sided character involved in smuggling.
The shooting for the film schedule is smooth sailing, and after their shoot in Visakhapatnam, the cast may return to Hyderabad before setting up camp in Chennai for the final schedule.

Apart from Nagarjuna’s participation, the movie will reportedly also feature Sathyaraj, who will share the screen with Rajinikanth for the first time since the 1986 film, ‘Mr Bharath’.
Previously, Rajinikanth just wrapped up shooting for Vettaiyan, directed by TJ Gnanvel, which is also a highly anticipated release.
With both Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj being highly successful in their fields of acting and directing, their tie-up in ‘Coolie’ has led to high expectations and box office records. The release date for the film is expected to be set to April 2025. Further confirmation regarding the shoot of Coolie in Visakhapatnam is to be given.
