Lokesh Kanagaraj Reveals His “Coolie” Obsession – And You Won’t Believe Which Scene He Loves!

Mark your calendars! Rajinikanth’s action-packed “Coolie – The Powerhouse” explodes into theaters on August 14, 2025.

That Interval Block? Lokesh is Hooked!

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj just spilled the beans: his absolute favorite part of Coolie is the interval block! He’s practically buzzing with excitement to see how audiences react to it in a packed cinema.

“It’s crazy, right? I grew up idolizing Kamal sir, then got to work with him, and now I’m directing Rajini sir – seriously, dream come true! But that interval block…man, I’m dying to watch it with all the fans and feel that energy,” he shared at a recent promo event.

Two Years in the Making

Coolie – The Powerhouse wasn’t just thrown together. Lokesh and his crew poured two solid years into this film, sweating every single detail to make it perfect.

A Cast That’s Pure Fire (and a Budget to Match!)

Of course, you’ve got the legendary Rajinikanth leading the charge, but the supporting cast is amazing! We’re talking Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan!

And with a ₹400 crore budget, this action flick is going all-out – definitely one of the biggest Indian films ever made.

Sun Pictures is Bringing the Heat

Coolie is backed by Sun Pictures, the same folks who brought you recent mega-hits like Jailer 2 and AA 22 X A6.

And Lokesh Kanagaraj? The guy behind Vikram, Leo, Kaithi, and Master? Yeah, he’s promising another wild, action-fueled ride.

Get Ready for August 14th!

The trailer already has everyone talking, and fans are counting down the days until Coolie hits theaters on August 14, 2025.

This isn’t just a movie; it’s a full-blown celebration of everything we love about big, bold cinema!
