Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is racing toward completion, with filming reportedly set to wrap by late February 2025—well ahead of its initial schedule. As of March 17, 2025, the superstar confirmed in January that 70% of the shoot was done, with the latest Bangkok schedule (January 13-28) pushing it closer to the finish line. Posts on social media suggest Rajinikanth has completed his portions, leaving only minor patchwork. A special song featuring Nagarjuna and Pooja Hegde, filmed over four days at Ennore Harbour, has added a glamorous touch to this action-packed thriller.
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie boasts a stellar cast, including Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir, with Anirudh Ravichander’s music amplifying the hype. The film’s post-production, including dubbing and top-tier color grading for IMAX and PLF formats, is slated to begin soon, aiming for a premium cinematic experience. While no official release date is confirmed, speculation points to August 7 or a Diwali 2025 launch to avoid clashing with War 2. A teaser or glimpse might drop as early as March 14—Lokesh’s birthday—fueling excitement for this Rajinikanth-Lokesh spectacle that’s poised to be a blockbuster.
