⚡ What Makes Coolie Unique in 2025?

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Dark World-building

Carrying forward his gritty realism from Kaithi and Vikram, Lokesh gives Coolie a raw, almost gangster-film texture—marking a shift from Rajini’s recent family-friendly scripts.

After a string of experimental roles, Coolie sees Rajini return to his signature punch dialogues, slow-motion swagger, and cigarette flips, which defined the golden era of Tamil cinema.

Anirudh’s Career-Best Background Score

From high bass drops to kuthu beats, Anirudh’s soundscape for Coolie is designed for single-screen madness and viral TikTok reels.

• Sticker reading “Kaithi 2 Shipping Yard” in the background hints at a possible connection to the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.

• A silhouette of Kamal Haasan's character from Vikram appears briefly, fuelling crossover rumours.

• Rajini’s badge number “786” could be a tribute to Baasha — a fan-favourite cult classic.
