Rajinikanth dances up a storm in the new music video of Chikitu from Coolie.

Chikitu with Rajinikanth and Anirudh

The video started with Anirudh entering the scene to set the record straight about the vibe not matching up to the expectations. He was seen dancing with several other men, as the scene cut to Rajinikanth dancing in scenes from the movie. Both danced to the exact same steps. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj also joined Anirudh at the halfway point and danced along with him to the peppy and energetic track.

Fan reactions

Reacting to the video track, a fan commented, “It was only the first time I heard it, and I already got addicted to the song (laughing face emoticons). Anirudh can never go wrong.” A second fan wrote, “A 72-year-old man storming the screen with that unmatched energy. It’s pure bliss to watch! Superstar isn’t just an actor; he is Indian cinema. Can’t wait for August 14th.”

A comment read, “This guy giving beats in the background finally got what he deserved... great composition.” “This generation should learn a lot from T Rajendran sir and Rajini Sir.... At 70's their energy, dedication and consistent hardwork... Really speechless,” read another comment. A fan also said, “Definition of aura is Rajinikanth. Once a Thalaivar fan always a Thalaivar fan. Huge hope on LOKI's cooking!”

Coolie, directed by Lokesh and produced by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures, stars Rajinikanth in the lead role. Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and Monisha Blessy make up the rest of the cast. It is set to release in theatres on August 14.
