Superstar Nagarjuna shocked his fans when he revealed that he used harsh language in Coolie, words he had never spoken in real life. His bold transformation has created a huge buzz around the film. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) recently gave the movie an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate, confirming that Coolie delivers a violent action drama with intense scenes and powerful dialogues.

Coolie Gets A Certificate: Violence and Language Raise Eyebrows

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj has taken things to a new level with Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead. Audiences have started calling it one of the most talked-about Tamil films of the year. Lokesh, who usually directs high-octane thrillers, broke new ground by making Coolie his first film to receive an ‘A’ certificate.

The censor board hasn’t officially disclosed the exact reason for the rating. However, Nagarjuna’s earlier comments offer a strong clue. He openly shared in interviews that he had to use extremely bold language for his character, something he had never done before. Combine that with Lokesh’s gritty storytelling, and it becomes clear that the film carries raw emotion and dark intensity.

Trailer Release and Nagarjuna’s Fierce Look Stir Fans

The team will launch the official trailer of Coolie today at 7 PM. To build anticipation, the makers released a stunning new poster featuring Nagarjuna in a rugged white costume drenched in blood, gripping a blood-dripping hammer. Fans flooded social media with praise for his stylish and terrifying look, and they now eagerly await his full-blown role in the movie.

Star-Studded Cast and Global Hype

Alongside Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna, the film features Aamir Khan, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Shoubin Shahir, and Pooja Hegde, who appears in a special song. Anirudh Ravichander composed the music and added mass appeal to the already explosive lineup.

Audiences in other languages have shown equal excitement. The Telugu version earned over 100K dollars in pre-sales in the USA, and now Canada has followed with strong ticket sales. The ‘A’ certificate update has only intensified the interest surrounding this pan-India gangster drama.
