Lokesh Kanagaraj shared a new poster introducing Rajinikanth’s character from their upcoming film Coolie.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj shared a new poster of superstar Rajinikanth from their upcoming film ‘Coolie’. The actor is playing the role of ‘Deva’ in the film. He is seen in a rowdy avatar on the poster, holding an arm-badge featuring the number 1421.
Rajinikanth looks a little menacing on the poster, as if he’s planning something and is already sure about winning ahead. Lokesh shared the character poster on the social media platform X and wrote, “Superstar @rajinikanth sir as #Deva in #Coolie. Thank you so much for this @rajinikanth sir. It’s going to be a blast (sic).”
The leading cast of Coolie
While Rajinikanth’s Deva leads Lokesh’s film, the director also introduced the other characters that make up this world. Malayalam actor Soubin Shahir plays Daya in the film, a watch being his accessory. Telugu actor Nagarjuna plays Simon, who’s also accessorised with a watch and a red scarf.
Shruti Haasan’s Preethi looks intense in her poster with a shovel in her hand while Sathyaraj’s Rajasekhar has a red wire entangled around his hand. Kannada actor Upendra plays Kaleesha, and a fish hook forms his accessory. All the posters are in monochrome with only the accessories given a touch of gold.
