Following the release of the 2024 action drama Vettaiyan, Rajinikanth is set to release Coolie. The film, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is an action thriller featuring the superstar as a former daily wage worker, Deva, with a sinister past.

With Rajinikanth in the lead, the film has Nagarjuna Akkineni playing an antagonist for the very first time. With Upendra Rao appearing in a pivotal role, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will be making a cameo appearance.

Apart from all of them, Coolie has an ensemble cast of actors like Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, Reba Monica John, Charle, and many more in key roles. Moreover, Pooja Hegde has also done a dance number with the song, Monica.

The movie, slated to release on August 14, 2025, is musically composed by Anirudh Ravichander. After the pre-release event called Coolie Unleashed took place recently, the makers have unveiled the entire track list, which is available for streaming on multiple music-sharing platforms.
