Superstar Rajinikanth is set to star in the upcoming mass action thriller Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The film, which has generated significant anticipation, is currently undergoing rapid shooting. Recently, Lokesh Kanagaraj showered praises on Rajinikanth for his impressive punctuality and discipline, highlighting that it makes working on multi-starrer films a smooth process.
According to Lokesh, Rajinikanth often arrives well ahead of schedule. “If we say the shoot starts at 9 a.m., he’s there by 7 a.m. Rajinikanth’s commitment to time is unparalleled. Both Kamal Haasan and Vijay have also spoken on numerous occasions about Rajini’s discipline,” said Lokesh. “Kamal and Vijay themselves are highly respectful of their co-stars and are always on time. Even when I assure them it’s okay to be a little late, they prefer to arrive early. They understand that factors like traffic might cause delays, so they make it a point to plan accordingly.”

Lokesh added that working with disciplined stars makes directing multi-starrer projects surprisingly manageable. “They respect schedules, follow discipline, and appreciate their co-actors. This sense of dedication helps immensely, as they are ready to contribute ideas and enhancements to the script whenever needed,” he said.
Adding to the excitement surrounding Coolie, Lokesh revealed in a recent interview that he is an admirer of Aamir Khan and hopes to work with him soon. This has fueled ongoing rumors about Aamir’s involvement in Coolie, suggesting that he may appear in a cameo role. Speculation is strong that Aamir might soon become part of Lokesh’s cinematic universe, known as the LCU, which includes films like Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Fans are now eagerly anticipating the possibility of seeing Aamir play a pivotal guest role in Coolie.
After Coolie, Lokesh plans to continue the LCU storyline by working on Kaithi 2, marking another exciting addition to his series of interconnected films.
