Lokesh Kanagaraj recalls Rajinikanth agreeing to do Coolie
Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj recently recalled the moment when Rajinikanth agreed to do the film and came aboard for Coolie.
He shared that the senior actor gave him his approval after hearing only the first half of the script.
Lokesh said, “I didn’t expect him to say yes. I narrated only the first half and paused at the interval block to ask if he’d be interested. He immediately said yes. I hadn’t even written the second half yet. When I returned a couple of months later with the complete script, he loved it.”
Coolie’s plot leaked?
As per Letterboxd, the storyline of Coolie will supposedly revolve around a former mafia gang whose leader is Rajinikanth, in his character of Deva. He attempts to reawaken his empire and uses an innovative trick to connect with his former mates.
The plot then would show how a bunch of vintage golden watches, consisting of stolen technology, bring them all together once more.
However, what Deva does not anticipate is how his once-fallen empire begins to spin out of his control and strives to become something bigger and unexpected than before.
