By: Tupaki Desk | 14 Aug 2025 8:30 AM ISTThe match anticipated statement from Director Lokesh Kanagaraj came shortly before the release of his upcoming collaboration with superstar Rajinikanth, Coolie. He gave a very crucial communication on this project as he confirmed that this is going to be a standalone film.
At first, Lokesh took ample time to thank his tremendous cast who came together to bring his vision to life. “With just a few hours to go for Coolie's release, I'm feeling surreal and spellbound. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my Thalaivar, Rajinikanth sir, for giving me the opportunity to craft this film with complete creative freedom and to bring my vision to life through him.”
A special thanks to the incredible cast who made this journey even more memorable - King Nagarjuna sir, Real Star Upendra sir, Soubin sir, Sathyaraj sir, Shruti Haasan, and, to helm it all, my dear Aamir Khan sir, whose presence made it even more special, he added.
It was then strategically communicated by Lokesh that this superstar Rajinikanth film is a standalone attempt.
He concluded his statement by saying “And to all my dear audience, thank you for all the love and support you've showed me and this film. Coolie will be all yours in a few hours. I sincerely hope you have a spectacular theatrical experience, and I kindly request you all to refrain from sharing any spoilers from the film.
Coolie is a standalone film for my Thalaivar Superstar Rajinikanth sir.”
This is now an official confirmation that this is going to be a standalone film, and it will have nothing to do with the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.
