Rajinikanth's 'Coolie,' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on September 11, less than a month after its theatrical release on August 14. The action drama, starring Rajinikanth as Deva, follows his journey to protect his friend's daughter, and will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. While directed by Lokesh, 'Coolie' is a standalone film outside his interconnected universe.

'Coolie' plot
At the heart of the narrative is Deva, a former coolie from Mandya. The film traces his journey as he sets out to protect his late friend’s daughter from menacing adversaries.
This mission pulls him back into a violent world he had once left behind.
Not part of LCU
Interestingly, while Lokesh has created his own interconnected universe with films like Kaithi and Vikram, Coolie stands apart. The film exists outside the LCU, though it maintains the director’s signature blend of stylized action and human drama.
'Coolie' brings together some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. The cast features Rajinikanth in the lead alongside Nagarjuna, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Rachita Ram, Sathyaraj, Upendra, and Aamir Khan.
Meanwhile, Lokesh's previous outing was the Vijay starrer 'Leo' which received mixed reviews for its second half.
