Coolie’s Interval Scene Will Be a Game-Changer, Promises Lokesh Kanagaraj

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has set the stage for one of the most talked-about cinematic moments of 2025. Speaking about his upcoming film Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead, Lokesh revealed that the interval bang will be unlike anything audiences have ever seen. He confidently stated, “The twist will shock everyone, and no one has attempted it before.” Fans can experience this on August 14, 2025, when the film hits theatres.

Two Years of Planning for Rajinikanth’s Big Moment

In a recent interview with Sun TV, Lokesh shared that he feels most excited to watch the intermission scene with the audience. As a long-time fan of big-screen mass moments, he explained that working with Rajinikanth for the first time demanded a solid Rajini-style interval block. Lokesh and his team spent two full years building and perfecting that single sequence to deliver the ultimate adrenaline rush for fans.

Behind the Scenes: A Family-Like Experience

For Lokesh, Coolie means more than just a film. He described the project as a personal memory and highlighted the camaraderie between the cast and crew. The team, including Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, and others, lived and worked closely together during the shoot. He recalled how everyone supported one another and turned the filmmaking process into a big family gathering.

Star-Studded Cast and Story

Kalanithi Maran produced Coolie under Sun Pictures and brought together an impressive ensemble cast. Alongside Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna, the film features Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, Kanna Ravi, Monisha Blessy, and Kaali Venkat. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan appears in a special role. The gangster action drama explores the dangerous world of smugglers and focuses on luxurious watches, with Rajinikanth playing a grey-shaded character.

Censor Certificate and Runtime Details

The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) surprised many by giving Coolie an A (Adults Only) certificate, marking it as the first Rajinikanth film in two decades to receive this rating. The movie runs for 170 minutes (2 hours and 50 minutes), and Lokesh believes the lengthy runtime matches its rich storyline and large cast.

With Anirudh Ravichander composing the music and Lokesh Kanagaraj promising a once-in-a-lifetime interval sequence, Coolie stands as one of the most anticipated films of the year. Fans now count down the days to see if the director delivers on his bold promise.
