‘Coolie,’ set to release in the latter half of 2025, has been generating buzz with rumours of Aamir Khan potentially making a cameo, reuniting with Rajinikanth after three decades.
Although speculations about the film being part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) circulated, the director clarified that ‘Coolie’ stands alone, separate from his other films like ‘Leo,’ ‘Kaithi 2,’ and ‘Vikram 2.’
With its star-studded cast and high expectations, ‘Coolie’ is poised to be one of the major releases of 2025.
