Rajinikanth’s Coolie

Coolie is an action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The movie shows the story of Devaraj aka Deva, a former union leader who stayed in the shadows for over 30 years until the death of his friend Rajasekhar prompts him to resurface.

Seeking revenge, Deva goes up against Simon Xavier, a kingpin involved in smuggling, someone with whom he shares a dark history. The clash between the two forms the central conflict of the story.

Rajinikanth is currently working on Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The upcoming film is a sequel to Jailer (2023), and stars like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar are expected to reprise their original roles.
