The biggest highlight of ‘Coolie’ is Rajinikanth meeting the fans again in his vintage style. His intimidating gait, dialogue delivery, and swag—all of these are reminiscent of Rajini of the 80s-90s. Rajinikanth's character in Lokesh Kanagaraj's directorial is anticipated to have a connection with his role in the 1983 Tamil film of the same title. The superstar actor is set to deliver an action-packed role, and it will always be specialto watch the actor's film in theaters with fans, hungama.

The action sequences, the mass moments, and the storytelling style—all will provide moments that will make the audience stand up and applaud in the theater. Lokesh Kanagaraj is likely to continue his winning streak with 'Coolie,' and the director's confident hints at the same.

Along with Rajinikanth, the film stars Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Upendra. These versatile stars, with their unique performances, will draw diverse fan bases to the theaters to strengthen the story. It is said that each character will have a unique strength. Also, it's going to be an interesting one to see who will be the show stealer among the star-studded cast.

Music sensation Anirudh Ravichander has composed the music for the Rajini-Lokesh duo. With the previously released songs being hits among the fans, the BGM is expected to be the biggest strength of the film. When Anirudh's music is added to the action scenes, you get a double thrill of action and shock. The 'Rockstar' composer has also made a special theme track for every main star of 'Coolie.'

Fans have been wondering for months whether the 'coolie' would join Lokesh Kanagaraj's Cinematic Universe (LCU). While Lokesh is unclear, rumors suggest that some small connections may be lurking for Easter egg fans. Even though this is a film released under LCU, there are more chances of getting a treat for fans of that universe. Whatever the case, ‘Coolie’ is a theatrical experience—a mobile screen won’t deliver that.
