After dominating theatres in August, Rajinikanth’s action-packed entertainer Coolie is now set to arrive on Prime Video on September 11. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film has been a major talking point among fans and critics alike — and its digital premiere is expected to reach a wider global audience.
A Role Tailor-Made for the Superstar
In Coolie, Rajinikanth plays Deva, a once-powerful trade union leader who finds himself pulled back into conflict when he steps up to protect a friend’s child. What unfolds is a gritty story of loyalty, justice, and redemption — all wrapped in high-voltage action and drama.
Joining him is an impressive cast featuring Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, with guest appearances by Aamir Khan and Pooja Hegde.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s First Collaboration with Thalaivar
Known for his edgy, genre-defining films, Lokesh Kanagaraj brings his signature intensity to Coolie — but with a fresh, standalone approach. While he’s widely known for crafting a connected cinematic universe, Coolie exists outside of that world, allowing him to explore new storytelling territory alongside one of Indian cinema’s most iconic stars.
Anirudh’s Music and a Viral Hit
The soundtrack, composed by Anirudh Ravichander, plays a vital role in the film’s impact. One track in particular, “Monica”, gained viral attention for its catchy rhythm and slick choreography — with Pooja Hegde’s energetic performance becoming a fan favorite on social media.
From Big-Screen Blockbuster to Digital Delight
Released on August 14, Coolie quickly became a commercial juggernaut, raking in more than ₹500 crore worldwide. Its mix of mass appeal, stylized visuals, and emotional moments resonated strongly with audiences.
While the action sequences and Rajinikanth’s performance earned widespread praise, opinions were more mixed on the film’s screenplay and pacing. Nonetheless, Coolie delivered exactly what fans expected: big moments, strong visuals, and the enduring presence of the Superstar.
Your Streaming Date: September 11
Just weeks after its theatrical release, Coolie arrives on OTT — giving fans a chance to revisit the story or discover it for the first time. Whether you’re here for the powerful performances or the adrenaline-filled action, this digital premiere is one to watch.
