Nagarjuna Calls His Coolie Role 'Too Bad' To Tell His Grandkids; Showers Love On Rajinikanth
Nagarjuna Akkineni says his Coolie role is 'too bad' to tell his grandkids but praises Rajinikanth's aura, charisma, and kindness. As Coolie hurtles toward its grand worldwide release, the buzz surrounding Lokesh Kanagaraj's ₹400 crore pan-India action spectacle has reached fever pitch. The film, led by Superstar Rajinikanth, boasts a dream ensemble including Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Sathyaraj, Upendra Rao, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan — a casting coup that has already sent fans into a frenzy. But it was Nagarjuna's candid confession at a recent press event that turned heads. The veteran actor, known for his charm and humility, admitted that his role in Coolie is one he would rather not share with his grandchildren. 'I definitely don't want to tell my grandchildren about this role," Nagarjuna quipped, drawing laughter from the audience. 'It's too bad, it's too bad." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Showsha (@showsha_) Despite the self-deprecating remark, Nagarjuna couldn't stop praising his co-star Rajinikanth. 'Yes, working with Rajini Sir was fantastic — something I can truly take back home. The charisma, the aura, what he created on set, it's just outstanding," he said. 'He even helped me with my Tamil dialogues, guiding me on how to deliver them. That was very kind of him. Though I have played the most negative role, the experience itself was the most positive." Coolie: The Powerhouse is already rewriting the record books before release. The film has smashed advance booking records by selling an unprecedented 1.2 million tickets on a leading ticketing platform — the highest-ever for an Indian film pre-release. The frenzy is not just limited to Tamil and Telugu markets; the Hindi version is also clocking in strong pre-sales, underlining the film's true pan-India appeal. Rajinikanth's Midas touch at the box office needs no introduction. With Coolie, his name continues to be synonymous with breaking barriers and setting new benchmarks in Indian cinema. Lokesh Kanagaraj, the filmmaker behind modern blockbusters like Vikram, Leo, Kaithi, and Master, promises to deliver a cinematic spectacle that blends raw mass entertainment with cutting-edge action. Backed by Sun Pictures — also the force behind upcoming juggernauts Jailer 2 and AA 22 X A6 — Coolie is touted as a genre-defining action extravaganza. Mounted on an epic scale with a global canvas, the film will see Rajinikanth in a high-octane avatar alongside an ensemble of heavyweights, with Aamir Khan making a special appearance that has already become the talk of the industry. The wait is almost over. In just three days, Coolie will storm cinemas across the globe on August 14, 2025, ready to redefine the boundaries of Indian action cinema. And if the current hype is any indication, the box office is bracing for an explosion. First Published: August 11, 2025, 21:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
