Nagarjuna says his role in Coolie scares his grandchildren

Rajinikanth's Coolie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj is releasing on 14 Aug 2025.

Nagarjuna is playing a powerful role in the film and now speaking about his role, he came up with shocking revelations. Nagarjuna says “I was playing a goodie all the time; it was getting a little boring, so I thought, let’s play a baddie. It was liberating, but I made Lokesh work for it — I took seven to eight meetings before he convinced me. I definitely don’t want to tell my grandchildren about this role. It’s bad, too bad.”

On sharing screen presence with Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna said  "Yes, working with Rajini Sir was fantastic — something I can truly take back home. The charisma, the aura, what he created on set — it’s just outstanding. He even helped me with my Tamil dialogues, guiding me on how to deliver them. That was very kind of him. Though I have played the most negative role, the experience itself was the most positive.”
