Ahead of the movie's much-anticipated release, a video is out where 74-year-old Rajinikanth praises his Coolie co-star, mentioning how 65-year-old Nagarjuna looks.

Secrets of Nagarjuna's fit physique revealed
In the video, Rajinikanth stated how Nagarjuna's character, Simon, who is an antagonist in Coolie, is one of the biggest attractions of the film. He continued, "When I heard the role of Simon, I was interested to see who would play it. When Lokesh told me that Nagarjuna agreed after six sittings, I was shocked. He's not an actor to play the role just for money; he doesn't need it. He has always played the protagonist."

The Coolie star recalled working with Nagarjuna 33-34 years ago in Shanti Kranthi in 1991 and mentioned he still manages to look younger. Rajinikanth continued, "He looked younger than he did back then. I've lost all my hair, and yet he's maintaining his skin and physique. I asked him how he did it, and he said, nothing but exercise and diet."
Upon being asked, Nagarjuna shared the secrets of his fit physique and mentioned how he completes eating dinner at 6:30-7 PM. The veteran actor credited his father Akkineni Nageswara Rao, who had told him not to take anything to heart in order to live a fulfilling life.
Reminiscing about their time while shooting together, Rajinikanth shared, "I won't forget the conversations we had while shooting for 17 days in Thailand. He's not just handsome, he's a gentleman. I've played a villain many times in my career, but even I wonder if I could play Simon like him; he's fantastic."
Apart from them, Coolie also stars Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and Aamir Khan. The movie is slated to release in theatres on August 14. It is set to clash with War 2 starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.
