Sobhita Dhulipala cheers for father-in-law Nagarjuna's MASS villainous role in 'Coolie' opposite Rajinikanth

Actress Sobhita Dhulipala is leading the cheer brigade for father-in-law Nagarjuna's upcoming film, 'Coolie'.

Following the grand trailer launch, the actress joined the chorus of fans singing praise of the veteran actor's menacing new role. Taking to her Instagram handle, Sobhita shared the Telugu version of the trailer and cheered for her father-in-law with a caption that read, "Semmaaa masss (larger-than-life). Killing them softly, mavayya Nagarjuna Akkineni" and added three crown emojis.


Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Nagarjuna opened up about his role, saying, “Everyone said I made for a very charming villain. Lokesh has presented me that way. I had such a liberating experience. I asked him a couple of times if he was sure he wanted me to behave a certain way, and Lokesh would go, ‘Yes sir, people are very evil!’"

The grand trailer launch event for 'Coolie' was held in Chennai on Saturday, with the film’s cast and crew in attendance. The film stars Rajinikanth as Deva, an ageing smuggler who sets out to reunite his old gang for one last mission. The film also features Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and Monisha Blessy in pivotal roles, with a special cameo appearance by Aamir Khan.

'Coolie' is scheduled for a theatrical release on August 14. According to box office reports, the film is expected to make a splash at the ticket windows. However, the film is now set to clash head-on with the Hrithik Roshan and Jr NRT starrer 'WAR 2' which will also release on the same day. Both movies are hoping to score big over the extended Independence Day weekend.
