👨🔧 What’s the Story Behind the Title “Coolie”?
While the full plot is under wraps, the title Coolie harks back to the working-class struggles and may possibly feature Rajinikanth as a labor leader or a revolutionary figure — much like his earlier roles in Mullum Malarum or Uzhaippali. The gritty warehouse setting shown in the teaser supports this theory.
Fans are expecting a socially conscious mass entertainer, combining Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature action style with Rajini’s timeless charisma.
🎶 Music & Technical Crew
The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who has worked with both Rajinikanth and Lokesh in the past. His BGM in the teaser has already gone viral.
Cinematography is expected to be done by Girish Gangadharan, known for his work in Vikram and Jawan, promising a visually rich experience.
