Shruti Haasan recently said, “What really makes Coolie stand out for me is, first of all, the experience of working with a director like this and being part of such an amazing star cast. Sharing screen space with Rajini Sir truly felt like a full-circle moment."
"Most of all, I connected with the character I’ve played—I genuinely enjoyed bringing Preeti to life. I just hope audiences feel the same way about her as I did while playing her," she added.
In an older interview, she had revealed how she’ll be playing the role of Sathyaraj’s daughter, as opposed to early reports of her character being Rajinikanth’s daughter.
Moving ahead, Shruti called Rajinikanth a man with a “golden heart,” and that she was blown away on set after witnessing his positive energy. She added how the superstar’s expressions and dialogues are like a “minimalized version” of dance or fight choreography, similar to seeing Bruce Lee’s movies.
