The much-hyped Tamil film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has found itself in the middle of a major buzz after its alleged plot was leaked online.
Starring superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Coolie is said to be a gritty action-drama revolving around smuggling, revenge, and personal redemption.
The leak has created a stir among fans and film enthusiasts, with many excited about Rajinikanth’s return in a layered, gangster avatar.
A New Role for the Superstar
Rajinikanth plays Deva, a veteran smuggler who once ruled the illegal gold trade using an unconventional tool—vintage watches.
According to the leak, Deva runs a smuggling syndicate that cleverly hides gold in timepieces. The idea behind using vintage watches, allegedly, comes from Deva’s obsession with time, legacy, and unfinished business.
The film reportedly opens in the 1990s and slowly unravels Deva’s rise in the underworld. His betrayal by close aides, and the brutal murder of a family member.
This sets him on a path of vengeance, forming the emotional and violent core of the story.
Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Crime Universe Expands
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for films like Kaithi, Master, and Leo, is once again expected to deliver a gripping underworld tale.
Though unconfirmed, Coolie may also tie into his larger cinematic universe that began with Kaithi and continued in Vikram and Leo.
The leaked storyline suggests connections to these earlier films through characters and cameo appearances. While the production team has not commented on these links, fans are already drawing theories and creating flowcharts of Lokesh’s expanding universe.
Star-Studded Cast and Crew
Apart from Rajinikanth, the film features a strong supporting cast including Sathyaraj, Kishore, and reportedly, Shruti Haasan in a critical role.
The music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose earlier collaborations with Lokesh have yielded blockbuster albums.
Cinematography is being handled by Girish Gangadharan, while Philomin Raj takes charge of the film’s editing.
These technical experts, combined with Kanagaraj’s storytelling and Rajinikanth’s charisma. Also, are expected to deliver a film rich in style and substance.
Production Status and Release
Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie is currently in its mid-production phase.
Multiple shooting schedules have already been completed in Chennai and parts of North India. The action scenes, especially those involving underground smuggling routes and high-stakes heists, are said to be one of the film’s highlights.
According to insiders, the makers are eyeing a Pongal 2026 release, though an official announcement is yet to be made.
Fan Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The leaked plot has taken social media by storm. Hashtags like #CooliePlotLeak and #DevaIsBack have been trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
While many fans are thrilled by the possibility of Rajinikanth playing a morally grey anti-hero, others have expressed disappointment at the early leak. Some believe the leak could harm the suspense and impact of the final film.
Others see it as a clever marketing move, sparking buzz just ahead of the teaser release.
Rajinikanth Reinvented
In recent interviews, Rajinikanth has spoken about Coolie as a special project.
He reportedly called the role of Deva one of the most intense and emotionally charged performances of his career.
The film gives him a chance to explore ageing, legacy, and revenge in a stylized setting rarely offered to older protagonists in Indian cinema.
It marks a departure from his recent commercial roles and leans more into raw, grounded storytelling—something fans of Kaala and Kabali may appreciate.
Conclusion: Deva’s Time Has Come
Also, with the plot now partially in the public eye, expectations around Coolie have only grown.
If the leak holds true, Rajinikanth fans are in for a dark, intense, and action-packed saga of crime and redemption.
As Coolie marches toward completion, one thing is certain. Deva’s story is one that audiences across India will eagerly watch unfold.
