Rajinikanth applying Jailer Formula for Coolie?

on Sep 7, 2024

"Jailer" stands out as Rajinikanth's biggest hit to date. The veteran actor was deeply impressed by the film's script, though he portrayed a common man who skillfully balanced his heroism alongside co-stars like Mohanlal, Shiva Rajkumar, and Jackie Shroff.

In several scenes, these actors played pivotal roles in driving the narrative forward. It takes considerable courage for an actor to accept such a role and share significant screen time with others. This approach proved highly successful for "Jailer."

Rajinikanth appears to be employing a similar strategy for his upcoming film, "Coolie." The movie will feature prominent roles by Nagarjuna, Upendra, Satyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan. It remains unclear whether these actors will have cameo appearances or substantial parts, but Rajinikanth seems intent on repeating the successful formula from "Jailer."

The ensemble cast is expected to be a major asset for "Coolie," just as it was for "Jailer." The film will include a range of actors alongside Rajinikanth, which could be a significant advantage in terms of both storytelling and audience engagement. This approach reflects a strategic choice to leverage a strong supporting cast.

"Coolie" is an action drama centered around the gold smuggling mafia, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film will be produced by Sun Pictures, with music and background score composed by Anirudh. "Coolie" is set to release next year, promising to be another high-profile project for Rajinikanth.
