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.

Kavya Thapar: A Promising Start, But Struggling to Find Success

Kavya Thapar, a rising star in the Telugu film industry, has faced a series of setbacks despite being part of high-profile projects. Despite her undeniable talent and potential, luck has not been on her side, leading to a string of box office failures that have significantly impacted her career trajectory.

Her journey began with a promising start in “Ek Mini Katha,” which garnered a decent response on the OTT platform. However, subsequent films like “Ooru Peru Bhairavakona,” “Eagle,” and “Bichagadu 2” failed to meet expectations, casting a shadow over her career.

Kavya Thapar pinned her hopes on “Double Ismart,” a film featuring Ram in the lead and directed by Puri Jagannadh. Despite her glamorous appearance and the film’s initial buzz, it ultimately underperformed, further jeopardizing her career.

Now, all eyes are on “Viswam,” releasing on October 11th. This film marks a comeback attempt for both Gopichand and Sreenu Vaitla, who have also been struggling with box office failures. Kavya Thapar’s future hinges on the success of “Viswam,” as she desperately needs a hit to revive her career. With so much riding on this film, only time will tell whether it will be a turning point for Kavya Thapar.
