Nagarjuna recalls intense 'Coolie' shoot, asks Lokesh "Can people be this evil?" — Here's what the director said
Nagarjuna after his recent outing in the Tamil film 'Kuberaa', will be next seen alongside
Rajinikanth
in 'Coolie'. Directed by renowned filmmaker Lokesh Kanakaraj, the film is an action thriller and Nagarjuna is playing a full-fledged villain.
He recently opened up about a moment on set that left him shaken.
Nagarjuna recalls chilling moment
According to an IANS report, speaking at the pre-release event of 'Coolie', the veteran actor shared a chilling interaction he had with the director during the early days of filming. Recalling a powerful scene shot in Vizag, Nagarjuna said, "Our first shoot took place in Vizag. A scene shot during the second day of shooting was leaked on social media and went viral.
We were all very sad about it."
However, it wasn't the leak that stayed with Nagarjuna, it was the emotional effect of performing the scene. "After watching that scene, I asked Lokesh, 'Can people be this evil?'" The director's response was simple yet haunting: 'They are more evil than this.'
Praise for Lokesh
Despite playing a darker character, Nagarjuna had only praise for Lokesh's vision and direction. "Shooting with Lokesh is like a dream," he said, adding, "He's a director with empathy, and that's a fantastic quality.

On the musical front, Anirudh Ravichander has composed the score.
'Coolie' marks Rajinikanth's 171st outing as a lead, and is slated for release on August 14.

Faissal Khan claims Aamir Khan kept him locked at home for a year, gave him medicines forcefully: ‘They said I've got schizophrenia and I'm a mad person... Mobile le liya, bodyguard mere room ke bahar'
Aamir Khan 's brother, Faissal Khan , has made explosive claims about a difficult phase in his life, alleging that the superstar kept him confined at home for over a year and gave him medicines against his will. In a recent interview, the Mela actor said his family believed he was mentally ill and posed a danger to society. 'They were saying I've got schizophrenia and I'm a mad person. I can harm society. Ye sab baatein ho rahi thi,' Faissal told Pinkvilla. 'I was looking at myself thinking, yaar main iss chakravyuh se kaise niklu. Chakravyuh ho gaya tha mere liye. Main usme fass gaya tha kyunki saari family mere khilaaf jaa rahi thi. Mujhe pagal samjh rahe the.' Says he couldn't contact his father for help The 59-year-old alleged that he was unable to reach his father, producer Tahir Hussain, because he was completely cut off from the outside world. 'Main namaz padta tha aur dua mangta tha. Mujhe kabhi kabhi khayaal aata tha, shayad Abba Jaan meri help karenge... Lekin unn tak main pahuchu kaise? Unka number bhi nahi tha mere pass. Aur Aamir ne mujhe kaid kar diya tha ghar me 1 saal,' he claimed. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Take a Look - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo Aamir Khan's brother Faissal Khan makes shocking claims about Sushant Singh Rajput's death: 'SSR was murdered' 'Mobile le liya, bodyguard outside my room' Faissal said he was not allowed to step out, had his phone taken away, and was kept under guard. 'Mobile le liya, main bahar nahi jaa sakta. Bodyguard mere room ke bahar. Dawaiyan de rahe hain,' he alleged. After a year, Faissal said Aamir allowed him to shift to another house when he insisted. Later, however, he claimed his brother asked him to appear in court to hand over his signatory rights. 'Aamir said, 'We want your signatory rights... tumko kal jana hai court mein aur bolna hai ki tum kuch faisla le nahi paate ho.' Judge ke saamne ek doctor bolega aur tumhare liye ek guardian rakha jayga. Toh tab mujhe shock hua,' Faissal said. The actor alleged that he pretended to agree but left home instead. 'I ditched Aamir by saying I'll go to the court the next day, but decided to leave my home,' he said.
