Rachita Ram in Coolie: 5 must-watch films of the Dimple Queen to stream on OTT
Kannada actress Rachita Ram makes her Kollywood debut with the big-ticket release, Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead. Coolie is her first non-Kannada film after over a decade in movies, which, she says is because she was adamant to spend the first 10 years of her acting career on home ground, before venturing out. During the making of the film, when rumours spread that Rachita would be in the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial, she'd chosen not to confirm or deny it, preferring to let the makers announce when the time was right.

She joins her I Love You co-star Upendra in the film that releases world wide on August 14, 2025. It's been reported that Rachita has a role with grey shades in Coolie.
