The trailer featured intense action scenes, dramatic moments, and strong dialogues. Fans also saw actor Nagarjuna playing the villain in the film. Coolie has received an A (Adults Only) certificate from the censor board. This is Rajinikanth's first A-rated film in many years, suggesting the movie will have intense and raw action scenes. One of the biggest highlights of the film is the reunion of Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan after almost 30 years. The two last worked together in the 1995 movie Aatank Hi Aatank. In Coolie, Aamir Khan plays a character named Dahaa. The makers recently shared a poster showing Aamir in a rugged new look. Besides him, the film also stars Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir and Upendra in key roles. Produced by Kalanithi Maran under the Sun Pictures banner, Coolie is expected to be a major release. It will face strong competition at the box office from another big film, War 2 , starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR.
