Lokesh Kanagaraj is a renowned director in India and is gearing up to collaborate with superstar actor Rajinikanth for their upcoming film ‘Coolie’. This project marks a departure from Kanagaraj’s usual cinematic universe films like ‘Master’, ‘Kaithi’, ‘Vikram’, and ‘Leo’. However, his recent film ‘Leo’ faced criticism for failing to resonate with the audience and fans.
Kanagaraj has acknowledged the feedback and aims to address it in ‘Coolie’. Unlike his previous works that explored themes of drug abuse, this film will focus on gold smuggling. Rajinikanth is slated to portray a negative character with shades of grey, as showcased in the recently released promo.
Considerations for ‘Coolie’
‘Coolie’ promises to be a commercial entertainer with elements tailored for Rajinikanth’s loyal fan base. The director has assured that the film will cater to the expectations of Rajinikanth enthusiasts. Notably, actor Sathyaraj will also feature in the movie, reuniting with Rajinikanth after four decades. Further casting details are yet to be revealed by the production team.
Rajinikanth’s upcoming projects and ‘Vettaiyan’
On the professional front, Rajinikanth is anticipating the release of ‘Vettaiyan’, directed by TJ Gnanvel, on October 10. The star-studded cast includes Amitabh Bachchan, Rana Daggubati, Fahadh Faasil, Dushara Vijayan, Ritika Singh, and Manju Warrier in pivotal roles, with music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
