Lokesh Kanagaraj Spills Some Beans On Rajinikanth’s Coolie Trailer

In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh spilled some beans on Coolie trailer, that fans have been waiting for eagerly. He said, “I want to deliver one trailer and then the film. More than that, anything will be a giveaway. All I wanted to deliver was one trailer, and the date is August 2.”

Throwing some light on his next with Aamir, the filmmaker added, “After Kaithi 2, my next would be Aamir sir’s movie. It will be a Hindi film but meant for a global audience, not just for Indians. He is a lot similar to Kamal sir. For now, I can’t say if it’s a superhero film, but it will be the biggest action movie.”

The director also showed interest in making Leo 2 and Master 2, but it depends on Thalapathy Vijay’s availability.

Spilling some tea on Coolie‘s music, Lokesh quoted, “When it comes to songs, it is completely Anirudh’s choice. I believe him. We’re both big fans of Monica Bellucci. Initially, we decided to make a song about Monica Bellucci, and later on, we named Pooja Hegde’s character as Monica.”

The Tamil film recently released its second song titled Monica, which pays tribute to Italian actress Monica Bellucci. Dropped on July 11, the upbeat track features Pooja Hegde in a dazzling retro-inspired dance number. Composed by Anirudh Ravichander, who also worked on Jawan, the song has quickly caught everyone’s attention.
