Acclaimed Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his high-octane storytelling, is leaving no stone unturned for his upcoming project ‘Coolie’, starring Superstar Rajinikanth. The action thriller, set against the backdrop of gold smuggling, is slated for a grand release on August 14, 2025, and is already being hailed as one of the most anticipated films of the year.
Despite the commercial success of his previous film Leo (2023), which grossed over ₹600 crore worldwide, Lokesh faced significant criticism—particularly for the film’s disjointed second half and its flashback sequences. Fans and critics alike noted that the final 20 minutes failed to connect, disrupting the narrative’s flow. In a rare show of humility, Lokesh publicly acknowledged the film’s shortcomings, admitting that certain creative decisions didn’t land as intended.
Determined to evolve from that experience, Lokesh has approached Coolie with renewed focus and intense dedication. In a recent interview, the director revealed that he sacrificed two years of personal life—including his 36th and 37th birthdays—to immerse himself entirely in the making of Coolie. He distanced himself from family, friends, and even social media to give the film his undivided attention.
Describing Coolie as his “most intense and personal project to date,” Lokesh emphasized how every element—from writing and casting to editing and sound design—has been crafted to highlight Rajinikanth’s larger-than-life screen presence. The film is expected to be a high-stakes, emotional rollercoaster rooted in action and mass appeal.
The buzz surrounding Coolie is further amplified by its power-packed ensemble cast, including Akkineni Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and a special cameo by Aamir Khan. With such star power and Lokesh’s sharp directorial vision, expectations are sky-high.
Fans across social media are showering praises on Lokesh’s dedication and honesty, hailing his ability to learn from past missteps and push creative boundaries. Coolie is not just a film—it’s a statement of intent from a filmmaker determined to redefine what a mass entertainer can be.
