Rajinikanth in Coolie
Despite the tight-lipped approach by Lokesh Kanagaraj and the team behind Rajinikanth`s highly anticipated film `Coolie,` plot details have reportedly surfaced online, sending fans into a frenzy. The movie is set for a grand theatrical release on August 14, promising an Independence Day weekend blockbuster.
According to Letterboxd, Coolie revolves around Rajinikanth`s character, Deva, an ageing gold smuggler. The plot details his ambitious plan to reunite his old mafia crew and reclaim his empire. The synopsis states, "An ageing gold smuggler uses stolen tech hidden in vintage golden watches to revive his old mafia crew. But his plan to reclaim his empire spirals into something bigger, a new universe forged from crime, greed, and broken time." This ties in with the prominent display of watches and gold in the film`s promotional material.
Fandango adds another layer to Deva`s motivation, suggesting a deeper, more personal quest. Their synopsis reads, “Delves into a man`s relentless quest for vengeance since youth, driven by righting past wrongs, shaping his very existence. Viewers experience the complexities of his tumultuous vendetta journey.” This implies a blend of high-stakes crime and a powerful emotional core.

Notably, Coolie will be a standalone film and not part of Lokesh`s popular Cinematic Universe (LCU), which includes "Kaithi," "Vikram," and "Leo."
The film is set to clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR`s "War 2" at the box office on August 14. Both films are expected to draw massive crowds, setting the stage for an epic Independence Day weekend battle. Rajinikanth was last seen in "Vettaiyan" alongside Amitabh Bachchan and is also slated for "Jailer 2."
