Kollywood legend Rajinikanth has landed in Vizag to resume filming his highly anticipated gangster drama, ‘Coolie’. His arrival at Vizag Airport has set social media abuzz with viral pictures and videos. This visit follows a recent political stir sparked by Rajinikanth’s comments on aging politicians during a book launch event for the late DMK leader M Karunanidhi. Rajinikanth likened veteran DMK leaders to “old students” who cling to their positions long past their prime, hinting that even Tamil Nadu Water Resources Minister Duraimurugan might challenge Karunanidhi’s legacy.
The political fallout saw Duraimurugan mock Rajinikanth, suggesting that some “aged actors” are blocking opportunities for new talent. When asked about these remarks at Chennai airport, Rajinikanth downplayed the controversy, emphasizing his long-standing friendship with Duraimurugan and congratulating Tamil star Vijay on his new political venture. Meanwhile, ‘Coolie’, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Sun Pictures, features Kannada star Upendra in a pivotal role and a soundtrack by Anirudh Ravichander, keeping fans excited for its release.
