The much-awaited trailer for Coolie, the upcoming action film starring Rajinikanth, has been unveiled, and it is everything fans were hoping for. Packed with bold visuals, intense sequences, and a fresh yet gritty portrayal of the legendary actor, the trailer has taken social media by storm.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, Coolie is scheduled for a grand worldwide release on August 14, right before India’s Independence Day. The timing hints at the film’s patriotic undertones and wide-reaching appeal.

The trailer introduces Rajinikanth in a fierce, commanding role. From stylized action scenes to hard-hitting dialogues, the superstar appears in top form, drawing massive applause from fans who refer to him affectionately as 'Thalaiva'.

Adding star power to the film is Telugu icon Nagarjuna, who appears in a menacing avatar as the story’s antagonist. Their on-screen clash promises to be one of the film’s major highlights.

Perhaps the most surprising reveal is the return of Aamir Khan, sharing screen space with Rajinikanth after nearly 30 years. The duo was last seen together in Aatank Hi Aatank (1995). Aamir plays a rugged character named Dahaa, whose intense look has already sparked conversations online following a teaser poster.

The Central Board of Film Certification has given Coolie an 'A' (Adults Only) rating, marking the first such rating for a Rajinikanth film in years. This decision suggests a darker narrative direction, possibly exploring more serious or violent themes than his recent roles.

Music for Coolie is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose previous collaborations with Rajinikanth have been well received. Songs such as “Monica,” “Chikitu,” and “PowerHouse” have already climbed streaming charts and are being widely shared across fan communities.

Fans can expect an adrenaline-fueled cinematic experience when Coolie hits theaters this August, combining nostalgic star power with modern action storytelling.
