The buzz around Coolie is at an all-time high as fans gear up for its release on August 14th. With every new update, excitement is surging – and the latest addition to the hype train comes from composer Anirudh Ravichander himself. In a much-talked-about Anirudh interview on Coolie, the music sensation shared intriguing insights into what makes this Rajinikanth starrer a unique cinematic experience.
Speaking to Suryan FM, Anirudh described Coolie as the “best of both worlds,” highlighting its fusion of star power and smart storytelling. “It’s a Rajini sir film, so expectations are already sky-high,” he said. “I’ve had successful collaborations with both Rajinikanth sir and Lokesh. But this is the first time they’re working together, and the energy is something else.”
The Anirudh interview on Coolie also emphasized how minimal promotional material has created maximum buzz. “Just three songs and glimpse shots – that’s all we’ve released. No teaser or trailer yet, and the response has been unbelievable,” he added.
Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran under Sun Pictures, Coolie features a powerhouse cast: Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and Soubin Shahir. A major reveal also confirmed Aamir Khan’s role as the antagonist, a move that has sent fans into a frenzy.
“Lokesh’s screenplay will stand out,” Anirudh said. “Coolie isn’t just another mass entertainer – it’s intelligent, layered, and elevated by an exceptional cast.”
Anirudh also shared a memorable moment with Superstar Rajinikanth after he listened to the track Powerhouse from Coolie. “Rajini sir told me, ‘I thought you wouldn’t surpass Hukum, but you’ve done it again with Powerhouse,’” Anirudh recalled with a smile. The composer added that such words of appreciation from the legend himself meant a great deal and further validated the energy they’ve poured into the film’s soundtrack.
Adding to the anticipation is the grand “Coolie Unleashed” event happening tomorrow at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Chennai, where the final song and the long-awaited trailer will finally be unveiled.
With the Anirudh interview on Coolie offering a glimpse into the thought and talent behind the film, and the mega trailer launch just around the corner, Coolie is shaping up to be the perfect mix of style, substance, and superstardom – releasing in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada this August 14th.
