The Person Who Spoiled Rajinikanth Coolie Will Shock You Hard

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie hit theatres with thundering expectations. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the movie promised fire, but what landed on screen left fans scratching their heads. The superstar carried a powerful role, and the cast list had some big names, yet the story felt weak. Social media is now buzzing with one burning question – who spoiled Coolie?

Inside Kollywood circles, whispers are pointing back to none other than Rajinikanth himself. Lokesh had first written a dark thriller, something fresh for Rajini’s character. But the star reportedly didn’t like it. Instead, he asked Lokesh to shape the film like Jailer, mixing mass action with style. With no choice, Lokesh reworked the entire script, adding big actors like Upendra and even Aamir Khan. But their presence couldn’t lift the story, and the soul of the thriller was lost.

The film’s opening collections were strong, thanks to Rajini’s pull. But as the first weekend ended, reviews turned mixed and the buzz cooled. Fans started imagining what Coolie could have been if Lokesh’s original story had been kept. “Rajini forced the change, Lokesh lost his edge,” wrote one netizen, echoing what many are now saying.

This has left the industry debating a bigger issue. Should legendary stars still decide how scripts are shaped, or should young directors be allowed to risk something new? In the case of Coolie, fans feel the fanboy in Lokesh gave up his vision for the superstar’s demand. The result is a film that shines in parts but fails to strike the magic Rajinikanth usually brings.
