Lokesh Kanagaraj recently released the teaser for Rajinikanth’s highly anticipated upcoming film, Thalaivar 171. Revealing that the movie’s official title is Coolie. The teaser pays tribute to Rajinikanth’s iconic portrayals of coolies. In classic films like Uzhaipaali (1993), Mannan (1992), and Mullum Malarum (1978). The homage to the superstar’s celebrated career has delighted fans. Who also noticed an Easter egg: Rajinikanth singing “Siva Sambo” from Ninaithale Inikkum (1979). A nod to the hedonistic lifestyle his character embodied.
Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed that Coolie is distinct from his cinematic universe, which includes films like Vikram, Kaithi, and Leo. This makes Coolie the third standalone film in his directorial career, following Maanagaram and Master.
The first-look poster for Coolie was unveiled last month. It features a monochromatic image of Rajinikanth in a denim shirt, bound by a chain of wristwatches that stand out in color against the grayscale background. A prominent clock looms in the background, hinting at a possible time-travel element in the storyline. The use of watches has also fueled fan theories about a potential connection to Suriya’s Rolex character.
