Hotshot director Lokesh Kanagaraj has unveiled an official character poster for his upcoming film 'Coolie', featuring Shruti Haasan as Preethi alongside superstar Rajinikanth. The intense poster showcases Shruti holding a shovel, donning a simple suit, and sporting a bindi. Lokesh welcomed Shruti to the cast on social media platform X, expressing his excitement to have her on board. Shruti, who makes her debut alongside Rajinikanth, thanked Lokesh for the warm welcome.
'Coolie' boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Mahendran, among others. Rumors are circulating about Upendra for the first time with Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan joining the cast for a cameo, potentially reuniting with Rajinikanth 30 years after their last collaboration in 'Aatank Hi Aatank'. Although unconfirmed, this addition would further elevate the film's star power.
Lokesh Kanagaraj's 'Coolie' has generated significant buzz, with fans initially speculating it would be part of his Cinematic Universe (LCU). However, the director has clarified that 'Coolie' is a standalone film, separate from his LCU, which includes titles like 'Kaithi', 'Vikram', and 'Leo'. As the film's shooting commenced in July, audiences eagerly await the final release date.
With its talented cast and Lokesh Kanagaraj's direction, 'Coolie' promises to be a highly anticipated release. The film's big-budget production backed by Sun Pictures and impressive ensemble cast have already created a stir in the industry. As the release date approaches, fans can expect more updates and insights into this exciting project.
