Telugu superstar Nagarjuna Akkineni has opened up about his role in the upcoming action entertainer Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth. In a recent interview, Nagarjuna revealed, “My role in Coolie is almost like a hero,” sparking major excitement among fans.
A Pivotal Role Alongside Rajinikanth
Nagarjuna plays Simon, a powerful character who stands toe-to-toe with Rajinikanth’s Deva. While the film is primarily centered around Rajini, Nagarjuna’s role is said to have substantial screen time, emotional depth, and action-packed moments. “It’s not just a side character or antagonist. There’s weight, dignity, and even empathy in the role,” the actor shared.
Action, Drama, and Strong Character Arcs
Sources close to the production suggest that Coolie will showcase both stars in a fierce face-off. Lokesh Kanagaraj has crafted a story where every major character has a strong arc—especially Simon. Nagarjuna’s performance reportedly blends intensity with charisma, making him more than just a rival.
Nagarjuna’s Return to Mass Roles
Fans are thrilled to see Nagarjuna back in a gritty, action-oriented part after a long time. His last few films leaned toward family dramas or fantasy genres. Coolie marks a return to his mass-hero roots—but with a layered, matured twist.
Set for a Blockbuster Clash
With Coolie slated for release on August 14, 2025, expectations are sky-high. Nagarjuna’s revelation adds even more buzz. If early reactions to the trailer are anything to go by, we’re in for a high-octane, emotionally charged showdown.
