Rajinikanth's upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is generating immense buzz, especially with its powerful monologue sequence. Co-writer Chandhru Anbazhagan recently shared some exciting behind-the-scenes details about this highly anticipated scene. According to Chandhru, the monologue spans seven pages of dialogue and lasts nearly three minutes, showcasing Rajinikanth's incredible range of emotions.
What's remarkable is that this sequence was shot in a single take, with Rajinikanth delivering a flawless performance despite receiving the final script only a few hours before filming. The film's crew was blown away by Rajinikanth's performance, breaking into spontaneous applause when Lokesh said 'cut'. Chandhru drew comparisons to Rajinikanth's famous one-minute monologue in Annamalai, highlighting the impressive range and emotional depth showcased in Coolie.
Chandhru also hinted that this sequence might answer some of the film's pressing questions, provided audiences pay close attention. When asked if Coolie is part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, Chandhru teased that audiences would know once they see the film. Coolie boasts an all-star cast, including Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Aamir Khan, who makes a special cameo appearance.
The film features high-energy action sequences choreographed by Anbariv, cinematography by Girish Gangadharan, editing by Philomin Raj, and music by Anirudh. With its A certification, Coolie promises to be an intense and thrilling ride. With advance bookings already breaking records, Coolie is poised to become one of the biggest openers in Indian cinema history.
