Amid mounting speculation, actor Sundeep Kishan has set the record straight about his rumored involvement in Coolie, the highly anticipated film starring Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. During the promotions of his latest movie Mazaka, Sundeep Kishan clarified that he is not part of Coolie but had the privilege of watching 45 minutes of the film. He confidently predicted that the film would surpass ₹1000 crore at the global box office.

The speculation arose when a photo of Sundeep Kishan alongside Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj from the Coolie sets went viral on social media. Fans immediately assumed that he was playing a role in the film, fueling widespread rumors about his association with the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). Addressing these rumors, he stated, “I am not part of Coolie. I visited the set as Lokesh is my friend and to witness Superstar Rajinikanth. I watched 45 minutes of the film, and it will collect ₹1000 crore.”

Coolie’s Star Cast and Production Updates

The excitement surrounding Coolie is not just because of Rajinikanth’s presence but also due to its star-studded ensemble cast. Apart from Rajinikanth in the lead, the film features Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir. Additionally, there are reports that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will make a special cameo appearance.

The film has also roped in Pooja Hegde, whose involvement was officially confirmed by the makers on February 27, 2025. To mark the announcement, an elegant image of Pooja in a shimmery red gown was released, hinting at a glamorous role.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie is said to be an action-packed thriller centered around the gold-smuggling mafia. The film is expected to feature high-octane action sequences, elaborate set pieces, and an intense narrative that is characteristic of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s filmmaking style. The music for the film is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, marking another major highlight that fans are looking forward to.

The teaser of Coolie has already generated a massive response, further amplifying expectations. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who is known for crafting thrilling, action-packed narratives such as Vikram and Leo, is expected to deliver yet another blockbuster with this collaboration.

Sundeep Kishan’s Future Collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj

While Sundeep Kishan may not be part of Coolie, he did tease a future collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj.

I can’t talk about it now, and I don’t know if it will come under LCU or not.”

This statement has led to speculation that Sundeep Kishan might play a role in an upcoming Lokesh Kanagaraj project, possibly linking him to LCU in the future. Given that Lokesh’s movies often interconnect in unexpected ways, his potential inclusion in a new project could be an exciting development for fans of Tamil cinema.
