Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj Reunion After 38 Years
A significant highlight of the film is the reunion of Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj after an impressive 38 years. The iconic actors last appeared together in the 1986 blockbuster Mr. Bharath, in which Sathyaraj portrayed Rajinikanth’s father. Fans are especially excited about this combination, particularly because Sathyaraj had earlier declined offers for roles in Rajinikanth’s hit films such as Sivaji and Enthiran.
With Coolie preparing for its launch, the excitement surrounding it keeps growing. With Rajinikanth leading his 171st film and Lokesh Kanagaraj creating a new cinematic adventure beyond his usual universe, anticipation is immense for what might become one of the largest pan-India hits of the year. At the same time, the superstar is preparing for the follow-up to Jailer, named Jailer 2.
Aamir Khan’s Role In Coolie
Aamir Khan will be seen in the last 15 minutes of the movie, showcasing a high-energy confrontation that is expected to be one of the most exciting scenes in recent history. According to reports, the source sequences were filmed in Rajasthan. "The two icons will occupy shared screen space in a heavily loaded confrontation, packed with intense exchanges and captivating action," she said.
With action, nostalgia, and a dream cast, Coolie is shaping up to be a true cinematic celebration. Get ready, August 14 is going to be fire!
