Lokesh Kanagaraj is known for delivering high-octane drama and multi-starrer films, with intense fight scenes and power-packed music. The recently launched trailer of his upcoming movie Coolie promises no less. The film stars Rajinikanth as the protagonist. However, superstars across different Indian film industries are equally in the spotlight in the trailer. From Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan to Telugu cinema’s Nagarjuna, Coolie is brimming with mass-level entertainers.
Coolie trailer promises a blazing entertainer with Rajinikanth, Aamir Khan and more
Lokesh Kanagaraj‘s pan-Indian and multi-starrer film, Coolie will be released on August 14, 2025. A trailer for the film was recently launched, which has roused excitement among the fans to watch this potential blockbuster. The film stars Tamil superstar, Rajinikanth as a complex protagonist. When his character makes an entrance in the trailer, the theme song made by Anirudh Ravichander says, ‘Galleries will roar with whistles’. As Rajinikanth swaggers into the frame, one can imagine how the cinema theatres will reverbate with whistles on August 14.
Apart from Rajinikanth, the trailer showcases all the other Indian superstars set to light up the big screens. Hindi cinema’s Aamir Khan emerges from a thick cloud of smoke in a never-before-seen avatar with guns blazing. Telugu hero, Nagarjuna Akkineni stuns fans as a possible grey character. Kannada ‘Real Star’, Upendra, gives a small glimpse while Malayalam cinema’s Soubin Shahir looks unhinged in his unique look. Shruti Haasan is shown to be playing a vital character in the film, whose dialogues have roused a lot of curiosity for her role.
When Aamir Khan had said yes to Coolie without even reading the script
Aamir Khan, in an earlier interview with Zoom, had talked about his cameo as ‘Dahaa’ in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie. As a huge fan of Rajinikanth, Aamir said yes to the small cameo as soon as he heard that the ‘Thalaiva’ would be in the film. He agreed to it without even reading the script. In the same interview, the Bollywood actor revealed that he will also be doing another film with Lokesh, but with a bigger role. Aamir said in the interview:
“I’m also doing a film with Lokesh again. I mean a proper film. After he finishes Kaithi, he and I are doing a film together in the second half of next year. We are doing a film together.”

Netizens react to the trailer of Coolie
The combination of Lokesh’s direction, Rajinikanth’s performance and Anirudh’s music has people convinced that Coolie is going to be the next pan-Indian blockbuster. One YouTube user commented, “Next Blockbuster Loading”. Another fan wrote, “What a presence… Rajni Anna’s screen presence is just brilliant… Lokesh really did a magic on everyone… Nagarjuna, Soubin, Aamir Khan, Shruti, Sathyaraj, Uppendra and the main highlight our own SUPERSTAR”.
People have also reacted to the conversation between Rajinikanth and Shruti Haasan‘s character where the former says, “He might be your father, but he is my friend!” Fans believe this dialogue is an ode to the decades-long friendship between the two Tamil stars, Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, Shruti’s father. A netizen commented on it and said, “Rajini and Shruthi Haasan conversation perfect sync in real life.”
