The much-anticipated Rajinikanth-starrer Coolie continues to build excitement as the filmmakers regularly unveil character posters of the star-studded cast. The latest addition to the ensemble is actor Upendra, whose poster was recently revealed, showcasing him with a menacing hook. The poster follows the film’s distinctive grayscale and gold color palette, maintaining the stylish and gritty aesthetic established in earlier reveals.Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is shaping up to be a cinematic event, with a lineup that includes heavyweights like Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj. Upendra’s inclusion has further heightened expectations, marking his return to Tamil cinema after a significant gap—his last Tamil appearance being in Vishal’s Satyam (2008). The posters have been meticulously crafted, with intriguing elements that hint at the characters’ roles in the film. Notably, the posters of Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, and Soubin feature a gold watch, symbolizing perhaps time, power, or status, while Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and Upendra are seen holding weapons, suggesting they may be involved in the film’s more action-oriented sequences.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie marks Rajinikanth’s 171st film, and it is poised to be a major release in the summer of 2025. The film’s music is being composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who has delivered several chart-topping tracks for Rajinikanth in the past, while Girish Gangadharan, known for his exceptional work in Jallikattu and Angamaly Diaries, is handling the cinematography.
Currently, the film’s shooting is underway in Visakhapatnam, where key scenes featuring Rajinikanth, Shruti Haasan, and Nagarjuna are being filmed. With such a powerful cast and crew, Coolie is expected to be one of the most talked-about films in the coming year, blending high-octane action with star power.
As fans eagerly await more updates, the strategic release of character posters is keeping the excitement alive, setting the stage for what promises to be another blockbuster in Rajinikanth’s illustrious career.
