Lokesh Kanagaraj’s ‘Coolie’ Gathers Momentum with Stellar Cast

Renowned filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj is crafting an ambitious project with “Coolie,” one of the most anticipated films in the Kollywood landscape. The collaboration between superstar Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj has already generated significant buzz, and the film’s production is progressing steadily.

The film has already secured an impressive ensemble cast, including King Nagarjuna as Simon, Soubin Saahir as Dayal, Satyaraj as Rajasekhar, and Shruti Haasan as Preethi. However, the recent announcement of Kannada superstar Upendra joining the project has taken the anticipation to new heights.

Upendra will portray the character of Kaleesha, and his intense look in the released poster has captivated audiences. The red bands adorned around his hand and neck, along with the blood stains on his fist, hint at a formidable and menacing presence. Upendra’s involvement has undoubtedly elevated the film’s pan-Indian appeal and increased the viewers’ curiosity about this action-packed venture.

The film’s technical crew is equally impressive, with Anirudh Ravichander composing the music, Girish handling the cinematography, and Philomin Raj serving as the editor. “Coolie” is set for a 2025 release, and it is being produced by Sun Pictures.

While “Coolie” is not part of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Cinematic Universe, it is poised to be a groundbreaking film that showcases the director’s vision and the star power of its ensemble cast.
