Coolie Trailer OUT: Rajinikanth embodies rage as Deva fighting against Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan shares massy peek
The trailer for Coolie is finally here, with Rajinikanth turning on his ruthless aura, reminiscent of his Baasha days. Nagarjuna looks uber-cool as the bad guy, with Aamir Khan still a surprise.

Coolie trailer: Rajinikanth turns violent as Deva, locking horns with Nagarjuna’s Simon
The trailer for Coolie perfectly encapsulates the treatment and the style of the world that was kept under wraps till now. With elements of bio-weapon warfare and smuggling, Rajinikanth as Deva will take on a kingpin, Simon, played by Nagarjuna Akkineni.
Moreover, with Aamir Khan expected to play the top man of a crime syndicate, his character wasn’t unraveled more than a cheeky tease.
Watch the Coolie trailer:
While the trailer does not reveal much about the film’s plot, it seems that Coolie is not your usual gangster actioner. With the association of an untraceable weapon, it feels like Lokesh has mixed elements of science fiction.
What makes it more of a treat for fans is the fact that the director has exposed references to Rajinikanth’s iconic ventures like Thalapathi and Baasha. Hopefully, this is just a tease for what is truly set to come.
