'Coolie' trivia: Anirudh Ravichander REVEALS the origin of ‘Alela Polema' in trailer; says it was pure gibberish before fans found Greek meaning
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) With just days to go before 'Coolie' hits theatres on August 14, one catchy element from its trailer has sparked curiosity among fans — the phrase 'Alela Polema.' Music director Anirudh Ravichander , known for his stunning compositions and unconventional style, has now revealed where it really came from. Speaking at a promotional event alongside Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna Akkineni, Anirudh admitted it wasn't the result of deep linguistic research, but rather a spontaneous burst of creativity in his studio. 'While working on the teaser, I sometimes go a bit wild in my studio — blabbering, shouting, making random sounds… and that's how 'Alela Polema' was born,' he laughed. Lokesh loved it instantly Once the line was recorded, Anirudh sent it to 'Coolie' director Lokesh Kanagaraj , fully expecting him to question its meaning. Instead, Lokesh surprised him with a completely different reaction. 'He told me, 'That's my favourite part of the teaser,'' Anirudh recalled. 'That's the kind of bond we share — he just gets it, no explanation needed.' The phrase, though completely made up, has quickly become one of the film's most talked-about elements ahead of release.
