Akkineni Nagarjuna is one of the veteran heroes in Telugu cinema and the kind of legacy that he had built for himself over the years beyond ordinary. His latest film is Coolie and he played the antagonist in the same for the first time in many years.

But there are several complaints against this particular Simon character that was played by Nagarjuna in this film, as people complained that there was not enough prominence for him with the story.

Earlier it was revealed that Nagarjuna had listened to the story around 7 to 8 times from the director of the film, Lokesh Kanagaraj himself. This was revealed by Nagarjuna himself in an earlier interview, and it became a leading discussion, then.

One can only wonder why Nagarjuna listened to this story, so many times and ended up accepting this project in the first place, which is surprising in itself.

At one point, Nagarjuna sounded surprised that Rajinikanth even accepted a script like this in the first place, and this instinctive judgement from Nagarjuna is exactly turning out to be the case. The film has a very thin storyline, and many people are surprised with superstars like Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna accepted it in the first place.

Even Akkineni fans are commenting that Nagarjuna must have avoided this script in the first attempt itself.
