Rajinikanth's Rs 280 crore pay for Coolie raises questions

Rajinikanth's upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is creating a buzz for several reasons: its gripping storyline, star-studded cast, and, notably, Rajinikanth’s reported Rs 280 crore salary. Set to release on August 14, the film promises an action-packed thriller, with Rajinikanth stepping into a negative role, which is a departure from his usual heroic characters. Alongside him, Coolie features Nagarjuna, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, and a cameo by Aamir Khan, all contributing to the film's high anticipation.

The film's plot centers on gold smuggling, setting the stage for intense action sequences and dramatic moments. With Rajinikanth portraying Deva, a character with a darker side, fans are eager to witness his performance in this fresh role. The film’s large-scale production and hefty salaries for its key players underscore its big-budget appeal. Reports suggest that Lokesh Kanagaraj earned Rs 60 crore for directing Coolie, further fueling interest in the project.

For Lokesh, Coolie carries significant weight, as he aims to redeem himself after the mixed reception of his last film, Leo. The director is determined to meet the high expectations from his previous successes, hoping Coolie will be a major hit.

With its massive budget, stellar cast, and action-packed premise, Coolie is poised to be one of the most talked-about films of the year. Fans are eagerly counting down to its release.
