Sathyaraj & Rajinikanth Reunite After 38 Years
A major highlight of ‘Coolie’ is the reunion of Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth, who last shared screen space in the 1986 superhit ‘Mr. Bharath’. Notably, Sathyaraj had previously declined roles in Rajinikanth’s films like ‘Enthiran’ and ‘Sivaji’, making this collaboration even more special.
What to Expect from ‘Coolie’
The film, Rajinikanth’s 171st, revolves around gold smuggling and has generated massive buzz. However, Lokesh Kanagaraj has clarified that ‘Coolie’ will be a standalone film and not part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
With expectations soaring, ‘Coolie’ promises to be a power-packed entertainer featuring Rajinikanth in his signature mass avatar. Fans eagerly await further updates and the film’s official release date.
