Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie is currently in production. The film, which is expected to release in 2025, has been in the headlines this week. On Wednesday, an action scene from the movie featuring Nagarjuna was leaked online.
The video grabbed the attention of the director, who requested fans not to engage in these practices. Lokesh shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote, “Two months of hard work by many people have gone in vain because of one recording. I humbly request everyone not to engage in such practices, as they spoil the overall experience.
Thank you.” Two months of hard work by many people have gone in vain because of one recording. I humbly request everyone not to engage in such practices, as they spoil the overall experience.
Thank you. — Lokesh Kanagaraj (@Dir_Lokesh) September 18, 2024 In the viral video, Nagarjuna was seen beating a man while wearing a white suit. Another clip shows the actor involved in a dramatic action scene that appears to have been shot from a distance.
He was also seen threatening a man with a hammer. An audio recording of a crew member narrating Tamil dialogues to Nagarjuna was also included in the leaked clips. Coolie features Rajinikanth in the lead role.
On September 2, the makers unveiled his first character poster from the film. Lokesh Kanagaraj shared the poster on X and said, “Superstar Rajinikanth sir as #Deva in #Coolie. Thank you so much for this Rajinikanth sir.
It's going to be a blast.” Superstar @rajinikanth.
