Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has created a unique space for himself in Indian cinema, becoming one of the most sought-after filmmakers with limited yet impactful movies. With a string of successful action-packed thrillers, he made his own cinematic universe through films like Kaithi, Master, Vikram, and Leo.
Now, anticipation surrounds his upcoming project, ‘Coolie,’ starring the legendary Tamil superstar Rajinikanth. The film has recently wrapped up filming and is currently in the post-production phase. Set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, 2025, the movie is generating massive buzz among fans and movie lovers alike.
Amid the anticipation, Lokesh Kanagraj took to his X (formerly Twitter) to announce a temporary break from social media to fully concentrate on the final touches of the film. He wrote, “Hey guys! I’m taking a small break from all the social media platforms until #Coolie’s promotions. With Love, Lokesh Kanagaraj.”
Though fans expressed concern about the pause in updates, many are supportive of his decision, appreciating the focus and dedication he’s putting into delivering a blockbuster.
Produced by Kalanidhi Maran under the prestigious banner of Sun Pictures, Coolie boasts an impressive star-studded cast of Nagarjuna Akkineni, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Monisha Blessy, and others in pivotal roles. Music director Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music, promising a high-octane musical experience.
