Nagarjuna's role in Coolie

Nagarjuna plays the antagonist, Simon, in Coolie. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Nagarjuna had said, “Everyone said I made for a very charming villain. Lokesh has presented me that way. I had such a liberating experience. I asked him a couple of times if he was sure he wanted me to behave a certain way, and if people acted this way, and Lokesh would go, ‘Yes sir, people are very evil!’”

In the trailer, Nagarjuna is presented in a dark and menacing avatar who has a whole clan under his control. Rajinikanth stars as the ageing smuggler Deva, who devises a plan to reunite his old gang and take over. Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR and Monisha Blessy make up the rest of the cast. Aamir Khan has a cameo. Coolie is slated to release in theatres on August 14.

Sobhita Dhulipala married Nagarjuna's son, actor Naga Chaitanya, in December last year. The ceremony was held at the iconic Annapurna Studios in Hyderabad in the presence of close friends and family members. “Watching Sobhita and Chay begin this beautiful chapter together has been a special and emotional moment for me. Congratulations to my beloved Chay, and welcome to the family dear Sobhita—you’ve already brought so much happiness into our lives,” Nagarjuna had written in a post.
