The wait is finally over for fans of Superstar Rajinikanth! The highly anticipated trailer for the film “Coolie,” was unveiled on 2nd Aug, 2025. The movie is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. It was a star-studded audio launch ceremony in Chennai. The glimpse promises a vintage Rajini treat. It is brimming with mass action, iconic dialogues, and a powerful ensemble cast that’s already generating a massive buzz across the nation.
The return of the don: Plotting a course of action
The trailer hints at a gripping gangster drama revolving around gold smuggling. Rajinikanth takes on the role of Deva, a former gold smuggler who resurfaces to reclaim his past glory and protect his friend from the menacing antagonist, Simon, portrayed by Nagarjuna Akkineni. Fans are already captivated by Rajinikanth‘s fierce and stylish persona, with his action sequences, powerful dialogues, and signature swag evoking nostalgia for his classic roles.
A pan-Indian star cast ignites the screen
“Coolie” boasts a stellar pan-Indian cast that adds to the film’s appeal. Alongside Rajinikanth, the film features Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan makes a special cameo appearance, further elevating the film’s grandeur.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s vision, Anirudh’s magic
Directed by the acclaimed Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his gritty and intense action thrillers, “Coolie” promises a raw and realistic cinematic experience. The film’s soundtrack is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose pulsating background score in the trailer has already been lauded for intensifying the drama and enhancing Rajini’s on-screen presence. Songs like “Chikitu” and “Monica” have already become popular chartbusters, building anticipation for the full album.
An “A” certificate and a box office showdown
In a surprising move, “Coolie” has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate by the CBFC, marking Lokesh Kanagaraj’s first film with this rating and Rajinikanth‘s first in 36 years. This indicates a departure from Rajini’s typical family-friendly fare, suggesting a darker and more intense narrative. The film is set for a pan-India release on August 14, 2025, and will clash with the highly anticipated Bollywood film “War 2”, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. Despite the adult rating, pre-sales in the U.S. have been exceptional, with predictions of crossing $2 million. Expectations are sky-high, with many predicting that “Coolie” could rewrite box office records.
