Shruti Haasan joins Rajinikanth’s Coolie
Coolie director Lokesh Kanagaraj on Friday shared an official character poster featuring Shruti Haasan as Preethi opposite Rajinikanth in the film.
The poster featured the actor looking intense, holding a shovel in her hands.
Shruti, who has teamed up with Rajinikanth for the first time on-screen, thanked Lokesh for welcoming her enthusiastically. She responded to the director’s tweet and wrote, “Thank you Lokesh !! Super stoked to be a part of this (sic).”
The poster comes a day after the director welcomed Telugu star Nagarajuna onboard as Simon. He shared Shruti’s poster on the social media platform X and wrote, “Kicked to have @shrutihaasan joining the cast of #Coolie as #Preethi. Welcome on board (sic).”
‘Coolie’ seems to be made on a big budget with many prominent faces already on the list. Apart from Rajinikanth, Shruti and Nagarjuna, the film also features Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir and Mahendran, among others, in important roles.
Reports have been rife about actor Aamir Khan joining the film’s cast for a cameo.
However, nothing about the news is confirmed yet.
If the actor joins the team of Coolie, he will be reuniting with Rajinikanth years after their last screen outing, ‘Aatank Hi Aatank’, which also starred Juhi Chawla in the lead.
