Filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj on Monday dropped a new character poster of actor Rajinikanth for the upcoming film Coolie. The Tamil star takes on the role of Deva in the film.

The poster captures Rajinikanth holding a coolie’s identification tag with the number 1421— the sole splash of colour in the otherwise monochrome image. Rajinikanth wears a dark shirt, with a dog tag around his neck, adding to the gritty look of the character.

Lokesh Kanagaraj shared the poster on social media with the caption, “Superstar @rajinikanth sir as #Deva in #Coolie Thank you so much for this @rajinikanth sir It’s going to be a blast ”.

Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie boasts a star-studded cast including Telugu star Nagarjuna, Kannada actor Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Malayalam actor Soubin Shahir. Kanagaraj has been actively sharing character posters of the film’s key actors.

Shruti Haasan plays Preethi in Coolie. In her character poster, Shruti is seen holding a shovel. Nagarjuna plays Simon, who is shown wearing a red scarf in his character poster.

Sathyaraj is set to play Rajasekhar and has a red wire tangled around his hand in his character poster. Upendra's character Kaleesha is shown with a fish hook as his accessory. Soubin Shahir is set to play Daya in the film, and is seen holding a gold watch in the character poster.

Coolie marks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s seventh directorial venture. In 2019, he established the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) with Kaithi, which he followed up with Vikram (2022) and Leo (2023). It remains to be seen if Coolie is also part of the LCU.
