Coolie Teaser: Behold The Glory Of Rajinikanth In Thalaivar 171

Lokesh Kanagaraj recently dropped the teaser for Rajinikanth's upcoming film Thalaivar 171. Along with the film's teaser, he also revealed the name of the movie. The film is now titled Coolie. The teaser pays homage to Rajinikanth's iconic roles as a coolie in films like Uzhaipaali (1993), Mannan (1992), and Mullum Malarum (1978).

Lokesh Kanagaraj's knack for weaving in references to the superstar's illustrious career was praised by fans. Adding to the intrigue, the teaser features an Easter egg: Rajinikanth singing Siva Sambo from Ninaithale Inikkum (1979), a song that embodies a hedonistic lifestyle reminiscent of his character in the film.

For the unversed, Lokesh Kanagaraj had earlier revealed that Coolie stands apart from his cinematic universe including Vikram, Kaithi, and Leo. Hence, Coolie will be the third standalone movie in his filmography after Maanagaram and Master.
