For weeks, Superstar Rajinikanth fans were puzzled. Music director Anirudh Ravichander, famous for dropping his fiery “emoji reviews” before every big film, was unusually quiet about Coolie. This is the man who would flood X with cups and fire emojis whenever a film he worked on was set to hit theatres. But this time, nothing. The silence set off alarm bells, and whispers began: Was Anirudh not confident about Coolie?
The truth came out last night in Mumbai at Spotify’s Hindi album launch for Coolie. Standing on stage, Anirudh decided to go “old school Anirudh” and gave a live review. With a cheeky grin, he declared, “Ten cups, ten fires… all for Coolie!” The hall erupted. Within minutes, that clip went viral, and Rajini fans started flooding timelines with fire and cup emojis, as if the Rockstar had just given them official permission to celebrate.
Anirudh even shared a fun detail, the catchy AlelaPolema line in the teaser, which means “ready to fight” in Greek, is his favourite part. He revealed that he sent it to director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who also loved it instantly. The composer admitted he stopped posting emoji reviews in recent years because some films weren’t going to do well, and hyping them would be dishonest. But this time, he said, Coolie truly deserved the hype.
Ending the night on a high, Anirudh dropped one more tease; he hoped Coolie would get a sequel. For Rajini fans, that was enough to turn speculation into pure excitement. With “ten cups, ten fires” stamped by Anirudh himself, the countdown to Coolie just got hotter.
