Coolie's Hindi trailer sparks speculation over additional flashback footage, here's what netizens are saying

Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead role, is slated to release on August 14, 2025. As the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial is days away from hitting the big screens, the Hindi-language trailer of Coolie in theaters has left netizens buzzing with excitement. Coolie's Hindi trailer presents additional footage A leaked video circulating on social media shows that the Hindi trailer includes an extra scene that was not present in the original trailer. The final moments featured a man with a scruffy hairstyle facing several armed men, taunting them with a hook in his hand. While it is unclear whether it was Rajinikanth 's character Deva or someone else, speculations are rife. Many believe it might be Sivakarthikeyan in a cameo role. However, an official confirmation hasn't been made. Earlier, several rumors suggested Sivakarthikeyan was part of the Rajinikanth starrer. However, in an interview with Pinkvilla, he mentioned that he had just visited the sets because the shoot was happening near his home. Whether or not it is the full truth remains to be seen. About Coolie Coolie is an action thriller featuring the superstar as a former daily wage worker, Deva (played by Rajinikanth), with a sinister past. While he has remained in the shadows for nearly 30 years, he makes a return after his close friend Rajasekhar is in trouble. The rest of the film focuses on how he succeeds in helping his friend out. The original trailer of the movie featured the last shot as a tease for Rajinikanth's flashback portion. The original trailer ends with a shot hinting at Deva's flashback, using a negative filter. This is possibly to conceal the superstar's de-aged look, reminiscent of his role in Baasha. Watch Coolie trailer: Actor Nagarjuna Akkineni is playing an antagonist for the very first time. The flick has stars like Upendra Rao and Aamir Khan in pivotal roles. Apart from all of them, Coolie has an ensemble cast of actors like Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, Reba Monica John, Charle, and many more. On a side note, the Rajinikanth starrer will be clashing with Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR starrer War 2.

Vivek Agnihotri Says ‘Star-Kid Obsession' Is Hurting Bollywood: ‘A Common Man Can't Make Entry'

Last Updated: Vivek Agnihotri blames Bollywood's decline on star-kid obsession, lack of new talent, and undervaluing writers. Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri has delivered yet another blunt critique of the Hindi film industry, this time targeting its lack of inclusivity, over-reliance on star kids, and disregard for writers. Speaking with Siddharth Kannan, the director said Bollywood's closed-door culture is stifling new talent and weakening its creative core. 'It is because there has been no new talent entering the film industry. A common man cannot make an entry," Vivek said. Using the example of Shah Rukh Khan, he argued that if the superstar were to debut today without English fluency or an elite background, he might never get through the doors of a studio. He criticised the current selection process that prioritises Instagram followers over acting ability, questioning how aspiring actors from smaller cities like Kanpur, Jhansi, or Visakhapatnam could ever break in. 'So what happens is, they take kids from film families. Also, star kids want to become influencers, and influencers want to become stars," he added. 'Writers Ki Koi Aukaat Nahi Hai' Vivek also took aim at the sidelining of writers in Bollywood, which he believes is damaging the quality of Hindi cinema. 'Writers ki koi aukaat nahi hai. Stars aur studios ne unki aukaat cheen li hai. They've made a nexus. Studios want numbers, and for that, they want stars… The writer gets ₹10, while the star gets ₹10,000," he said. He pointed out that the overexposure of star kids on social media — from their outfits to their workouts — strips away the audience's ability to imagine them as different characters. This, combined with poor writing, results in films lacking depth and authenticity. Vivek's Upcoming Film: The Bengal Files Despite his criticism of the industry, Vivek Agnihotri continues to make politically charged films that aim to provoke discussion. His next project, The Bengal Files, follows the controversial success of The Kashmir Files. The upcoming film will explore West Bengal's history of political violence and ideological conflict, with a star-studded cast featuring Mithun Chakraborty, Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, and Darshan Kumar.
