Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie is shaping up to be one of the most intense and gritty films in Superstar Rajinikanth’s illustrious career. While early speculation suggested a smuggling plot involving gold or watches, reports indicate these are just distractions. At its core, the Coolie plot reportedly delves into the sinister and rarely explored world of organ trafficking.
The film centers on a powerful criminal syndicate involved in illegal organ trade, led by Nagarjuna’s character Simon, with Soubin Shahir as his right-hand man Dayal and Aamir Khan as the menacing Daha. Rajinikanth plays Deva, a fearless hero determined to dismantle this ruthless gang.
Shruti Haasan’s character plays a pivotal role in uncovering the gang’s dark secrets and teaming up with Deva to fight back. The climax promises to showcase Lokesh Kanagaraj’s trademark style: intense, action-packed, and emotionally charged, with the last 40 minutes described as a roller coaster of violence, madness, and unforgettable mass moments.
Due to explicit depictions of organ trafficking, the film has been rated “A,” making it unsuitable for younger audiences, is what we hear. This bold thematic choice reflects Lokesh’s willingness to tackle hard-hitting social issues while delivering a commercial blockbuster.
Adding to the excitement, Coolie is set for a worldwide release on August 14th, and bookings have already begun. The response has been phenomenal, with massive advance bookings globally. Industry insiders predict a record-shattering opening, setting the stage for what could be one of the biggest releases of the year.
