About ‘Coolie’

Rajinikanth will reportedly essay the role of a don in the biggie and his character is likely to have negative shades. The announcement teaser suggests that ‘Coolie’ will be set against the backdrop of gold smuggling. It is also said to be a standalone project with no connection to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), which includes Vikram and the Karthi-led Kaithi.

Coolie also features Sathyaraj and Shruti Haasan in key roles. The grapevine also suggests that Ranveer Singh is being considered for a role in the actioner. However, this isn’t set in stone. ‘Coolie’ will be produced by Kalainithi Maran and Lokesh Kanagaraj. The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who previously teamed up with Rajinikanth for films such as ‘Jailer’ and ‘Petta’.It is expected to hit screens on a yet-to-be-announced date next year
