About Coolie

Coolie tells the story of a former union leader named Deva (Rajinikanth) who seeks answers after the sudden death of his friend Rajasekhar (Sathyaraj). In the process, he faces off against a gangster named Simon (Nagarjuna) and his right-hand man Dayal (Soubin Shahir).

When asked what Coolie means to him, Lokesh had said in an interview to Sun TV, “This film will always be a memory to me. Not just about the filmmaking and doing a movie for the audience…. Everything that happened behind the scenes, how close we have all been from Rajini sir to Nagarjuna sir, Soubhin sir, Upendra sir… we all stayed together in one place, that experience! It was all like a family and every single one of them was supportive of one another.”
