Just a few days ago, on July 3, Lokesh took to X to welcome cinematographer Girish Gangadharan to the Coolie team, sharing a picture of the duo. In this update, the filmmaker also revealed that he would soon announce the film's cast. Notably, Girish and Lokesh have previously collaborated on Kamal Haasan's Vikram.
Coolie marks a significant milestone in Rajinikanth's career, as it is his first film with director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his work in Leo and Master. Initially referred to as Thalaivar 171, Coolie was officially announced in September 2023.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie's music composer is Anirudh Ravichander and the stunt will be handled by director duo Anbariv. While actor Sivakarthikeyan is rumoured to play a pivotal role, Shruti Haasan and Fahadh Faasil are also said to be part of the cast. However, the remaining cast members are yet to be revealed. With production now underway, fans can eagerly anticipate further updates on this highly anticipated film.
