Superstar Rajinikanth is all set to set the screens ablaze with Coolie, his most awaited collaboration yet with hitmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. Slated to be a larger-than-life mass actioner with a modern edge, the film isn’t just another release—it’s a monumental celebration of legacy, innovation, and cinematic brilliance. With several groundbreaking elements packed into one project—from legendary reunions and technical marvels to historic debuts—Coolie promises to be an unforgettable big-screen experience. Here are five compelling reasons why this film is more than just a movie—it’s a moment in history.
1) Rajinikanth & Sathyaraj Reunite After 38 Years
One of the biggest highlights of Coolie is the legendary reunion of Rajinikanth and Sathyaraj, who last shared screen space Mr. Bharath (1986). After nearly four decades, two powerhouses of Tamil cinema are back together, promising crackling chemistry, nostalgia, and intense face-offs. For fans of vintage Tamil cinema, this is a once-in-a-lifetime cinematic moment.
2) Shot in IMAX – A Visual Powerhouse
Coolie isn’t just a mass entertainer – it’s a visual spectacle. With portions of the film shot using IMAX technology audiences can expect a grand, immersive experience unlike anything seen before in a Rajinikanth film. Be it high-octane action, larger-than-life frames, or jaw-dropping set pieces – this film is designed for the big screen in every sense.
3) Aamir Khan’s Tamil Debut
Adding a national appeal to the film, Coolie marks Aamir Khan’s debut in Tamil cinema. Known for his impeccable choice of scripts and transformative performances, Aamir stepping into Lokesh’s universe alongside Rajinikanth is reason enough to witness the magic unfold. Expect something fresh, unexpected, and deeply impactful.
4) Celebrating 50 Glorious Years of Rajinikanth
Coolie is more than just a movie – it’s a celebration of Rajinikanth’s 50 legendary years in Indian cinema, releasing on August 14th, 2025. From being a bus conductor to becoming a demi-god of cinema, Thalaivar’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. What better way to honour his golden milestone than with an explosive, fan-feast film crafted by one of today’s most exciting directors, Lokesh Kanagaraj.
5) First-Ever Collaboration Between Rajinikanth & Lokesh Kanagaraj
Coolie marks the maiden collaboration between superstar Rajinikanth and master storyteller Lokesh Kanagaraj. Lokesh’s stylized world-building and Rajini’s unmatched screen presence promise a massy-meets-modern narrative packed with action, swag, and substance. This union is set to ignite screens like never before.
