More about Coolie
Coolie is produced by Kalanidhi Maran’s Sun Pictures and the film’s title was announced with a video that showed Rajinikanth in all his glory. The filmmakers recently announced that Manjummel Boys star Soubin Shahir has also been roped in for the project. Nimma Upendra also shared on social media that he’s excited to share the screen with Rajinikanth. The film also sees Sathyaraj reunite with Rajinikanth after years. Mahendran also plays a prominent role in the project. Anirudh Ravichander composed the film’s music and Girish Ganadharan is the film’s cinematographer. The film will be released in theatres next year.


Upcoming work
Nagarjuna is also shooting for Sekhar Kammula’s Telugu-Tamil project, Kubera. It is one of the most-awaited films, starring Dhanush, Rashmika Mandanna, and Jim Sarbh in the lead roles. Nagarjuna’s look from the film was released earlier this year without revealing much about his role in the film. The actor was last seen in the Sankranthi release, Naa Saami Ranga.
