The film is keenly awaited as it will feature actors Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth together after almost 38 years. The two were last seen together in the superhit Tamil film ‘Mr Bharath’, which was released in 1986 and in which Sathyaraj played Rajinikanth’s father. Interestingly, Sathyaraj had turned down offers to act in some of Rajinikanth’s earlier films like ‘Enthiran’ and ‘Sivaji’.
‘Coolie’, which is Rajinikanth’s 171st film, will revolve around gold smuggling. Interestingly, director Lokesh Kanakaraj has disclosed that ‘Coolie’ will be a stand alone film and not a part of his Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU).
