Lokesh Kanagaraj is in the last phase of preparation for his highly awaited action movie, Coolie, which has none other than Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead. Already having completed shoot, the unit is now knee-deep into post-production with the final fine-tuning going on for visual, audio, and VFX to make for a grand theatrical experience.
From the moment the makers dropped the first-look posters, teaser clips, and music tracks, Coolie has been the talk of the town. The film has built enormous hype across social media and fan circles, with many predicting that it could smash box office records upon release.
In a recent update that took fans by surprise, Lokesh Kanagaraj announced that he’s stepping away from social media for a while. He revealed that he wants to stay offline until the official promotional campaign for Coolie begins. While this move left some fans disheartened, others believe it’s a strategic silence — hinting that something massive is on the way.
Fans have been buzzing with reactions, with many commenting that Lokesh’s quiet phase might just be the calm before a cinematic storm. “He’s gone silent now because he’s preparing to make a huge noise with Coolie,” read one fan post.
Starring a cracker of a cast such as Upendra, Akkineni Nagarjuna, and Shruti Haasan, Coolie will arrive with a massive theatrical release on August 14, 2025. With Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction and Rajinikanth’s every-man persona, the bar has been set high.
