The much-anticipated action thriller 'Coolie' starring superstar Rajinikanth is making headlines as fans eagerly await the trailer release scheduled for today at 7 PM IST. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has already generated significant buzz after receiving an 'A' certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), marking a departure from Rajinikanth's typically family-friendly films.
'Coolie' boasts an impressive ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna Akkineni, Pooja Hegde, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, and Baahubali fame Sathyaraj. Adding to the excitement, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will make a special cameo appearance. The film, produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures banner, promises to deliver high-octane action sequences that align with Lokesh Kanagaraj's signature filmmaking style.
The storyline revolves around Deva, a former gold smuggler determined to reclaim his past glory by reuniting his old gang and utilizing stolen technology concealed in vintage golden watches. This intriguing premise sets the stage for what appears to be an intense action-packed narrative.
Lokesh Kanagaraj has been transparent about his creative approach, stating there would be "no compromises on violence and action" in the film. This commitment to his vision explains the A certificate rating, which signals mature content and intense sequences that may not be suitable for younger audiences.
Interestingly, the director recently addressed the inclusion of the popular "Monica" song featuring Pooja Hegde and Soubin Shahir. Kanagaraj candidly admitted that the song was incorporated primarily for commercial purposes, explaining that while his films typically avoid item numbers, "Monica" was designed as a charming addition that wouldn't disrupt the film's flow. The song has already become a chartbuster, with Soubin Shahir's dance moves particularly capturing audience attention.
The film's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who previously collaborated with Rajinikanth on the successful 2023 film 'Jailer'. This reunion has raised expectations for the soundtrack, especially given the positive reception of the "Monica" song.
Set for release on August 14, 2025, 'Coolie' will face direct competition with Ayan Mukerji's 'War 2', creating an exciting Independence Day weekend showdown. The film will release in multiple languages, catering to Rajinikanth's pan-Indian fan base.
The A certificate has surprised many in the industry, as Rajinikanth's films traditionally appeal to family audiences across all age groups. This rating suggests that 'Coolie' will showcase a more intense and unfiltered version of the superstar's action persona, potentially setting new benchmarks in his illustrious career.
With the trailer launch event scheduled in Chennai and the film's release just days away, 'Coolie' appears poised to create significant impact at the box office. The combination of Rajinikanth's star power, Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial prowess, and a stellar supporting cast has positioned this film as one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
As fans countdown to the 7 PM trailer release today, 'Coolie' represents a bold new chapter in Rajinikanth's filmography, promising uncompromising action and entertainment for mature audiences.
