Nagarjuna in Rajinikanth Film: South Indian superstar Rajinikanth is currently filming Vettaiyan directed by TJ Gnanavel, which is set to release later this year. Following this, Rajinikanth will begin work on his 171st film Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The movie will be produced by Sun Pictures with Anirudh composing the music. Coolie is expected to revolve around gold smuggling with Rajinikanth playing a mafia boss.
There have been discussions about several notable actors potentially joining the cast. Reports suggest that Lokesh Kanagaraj is considering Ranveer Singh for a role alongside Rajinikanth. Additionally, rumors indicate that Shobana, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj might also be involved. It is speculated that Shruti Haasan could play Rajinikanth’s daughter in the film.
The most exciting news is that Telugu actor Nagarjuna may also be part of Coolie. If confirmed, this will mark the first collaboration between Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna. There are strong reports that Nagarjuna could be cast as the main antagonist. If true, this would create a significant buzz in both Tollywood and Kollywood.
