More about Coolie 

Coolie is one movie that is stirring up a lot of excitement as it is Rajinikanth's first movie with director Lokesh Kanagaraj.  Lokesh Kanagaraj and his LCU are very popular in Indian households because of the big blockbusters like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. 

For this reason, Coolie generated a lot of buzz from the get-go. Lokesh's 2022 release Vikram had Kamal Haasan essaying a pathbreaking role that only added to the already big expectations of the way Coolie would fare.

Bankrolled by Sun Pictures, the producers behind blockbuster hits with Rajinikanth like Enthiran: The Robot, 2.0, and Jailer, this movie is really going to be an event cinema from the South.

Fans are too eager to see if Coolie will out-pass even Vikram and redefine the mass genre in Tamil cinema. Though there has been no official confirmation on whether Coolie is part of LCU or not, as Lokesh has his last three out of four flicks as a part of the LCU. Lokesh Kanagaraj had also announced Kaithi 2 which will be a LCU movie.
