Rajinikanth’s emotional and humorous speech steals the show at Coolie audio launch
The much-anticipated audio and trailer launch for Rajinikanth’s film Coolie was a memorable event in Chennai on August 2nd.
While the high-energy trailer set the tone for the action-packed movie, it was Rajinikanth’s candid and heartfelt speech that truly captured the audience’s attention.
The veteran actor delivered a masterclass in public speaking, blending emotional personal stories with his signature wit and sincere praise for his team.
Rajinikanth took the audience on an emotional journey by sharing a painful memory from his early days.
He recounted a time when he worked as a porter, or “coolie,” and was mocked by a former college mate, an incident that brought him to tears.
This powerful anecdote about his humble beginnings resonated deeply with the crowd, offering a personal glimpse into his incredible journey from a railway porter to a global icon.
The actor also showered praise on director Lokesh Kanagaraj, whom he affectionately called the “real hero” of “Coolie.”
Rajinikanth shared a humorous exchange from their first meeting, where Lokesh subtly hinted that his film would be an intelligent one, without the typical punch dialogues.
He also kept the mood light with self-deprecating humor, joking about his age and requesting choreographer Sandy to “handle him with care” during dance sequences.
