Among the biggest names speculated to be part of the film is Bollywood legend Aamir Khan. Fans became even more convinced of his involvement when Kanagaraj shared a picture with Aamir Khan on his birthday, sparking widespread excitement about the possibility of the two icons sharing the screen for the first time.

Coolie already boasts an impressive ensemble, featuring Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Reba Monica John, and Junior MGR. Additionally, Pooja Hegde is confirmed to have a cameo in the film.
While the plot remains under wraps, Lokesh Kanagaraj has confirmed that Coolie will not be part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), which includes Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Instead, the film will focus on gold smuggling.
However, some fans believe this could be a deliberate misdirection, as Kanagaraj made similar claims before Leo, only for it to later be revealed as part of the LCU.
Coolie was officially announced in April 2024, with principal photography commencing in July. The film’s cinematography is handled by National Award winner Girish Gangadharan, with editing by Philomin Raj and music composed by Anirudh Ravichander.
Although an official release date has yet to be announced, Coolie is expected to hit cinemas worldwide in 2025.
