The trailer of the film 'Coolie', directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring superstar Rajinikanth, was released at the audio launch ceremony today (August 2). The star-studded event was attended by Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, and other cast and crew members of 'Coolie'. The grand trailer met with praise from fans and netizens on social media after it was released. Rajini's swag, action-packed poses, beautiful punchy dialogues, and jaw-dropping action sequences in the trailer have all reminded fans of 'vintage' Rajini, and have even drawn crowds just for the trailer itself.
Fans who saw the trailer are sharing hilarious reactions like "Let the leader come down and write history", "BLOCKBUSTER written all over", "1000cr confirmed if screenplay fits for audience", "Ultimate goosebumps". Rajini's red suit, bat-swirling box, and blood-splattering action scenes in the trailer have fans falling over themselves.
Fans have praised the Lokesh-Rajini duo, saying, "Rajini sir, massy bloody", "Flashback looks going to be".
Not only this, a separate post-festival is being held on social media for director Lokesh Kanagaraj, calling him "Lokesh sethukirukaaru bhaaa", "Kollywood's current best director". Although the BGM provided by Anirudh may seem a little short of expectations to some, fans have said that the overall trailer is amazing.
