Has Lokesh Kanagaraj really bagged Rs 50 crore as fees for Rs 350 crore budget film Coolie? Filmmaker spills tea
When it comes to Coolie, Lokesh Kanagaraj has left no stone unturned for one of his most ambitious action thrillers. Starring stalwarts like Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Aamir Khan, Shoubin Shahir, Upendra, and more, the movie is made on an astounding budget of Rs. 350 crores. Is Lokesh Kanagaraj really getting paid Rs. 50 crore for Coolie? In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lokesh Kanagaraj broke his silence on whether he indeed bagged Rs. 50 crore as fees for directing Coolie. The filmmaker had a very interesting response to it. He recalled the massive success of his last film, Leo, which earned Rs. 600 crore at the box office, and added that it was quite natural that his fees would be doubled after this. Lokesh said, 'You might ask me about my Rs. 50 crore remuneration, but it stems from the fact that my last film, Leo, did very well at the box office and collected in the range of Rs. 600 crore. So it is only natural that my remuneration also got doubled. This is a demand and supply field, and I am working hard for every penny.' When will Coolie's trailer be released? In the same interview, the filmmaker answered one of the most buzzed-about questions about Coolie's trailer. As innumerable fans await to witness what's in store for them with this film, Lokesh finally revealed the date for the same. 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.' When Nagarjuna revealed he'll be locking horns with Rajinikanth in Coolie Just a few days back, Nagarjuna Akkineni revealed some spoilers about his portions in Coolie. The actor mentioned how he, as the antagonist, would be locking horns with Rajinikanth. He added, 'This was a fun experience because of how different it is from what I've done so far. Being the main antagonist, I had many scenes with Rajinikanth sir... It's him against me..' For the unversed, Coolie's date of release, August 14, clashes with another big-budget film, War 2, which is also hitting big screens on the same date. It remains to be seen how the two movies fare at the box office, despite the clash.

Lokesh Kanagaraj reveals how Aamir Khan's secret role in Coolie was leaked; teases their upcoming superhero film: ‘It'll be the biggest actioner ever'
In all honesty, a collaboration between star Tamil filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj and Bollywood icon Aamir Khan was never something any of us dreamed of or imagined would actually happen, until the two began publicly speaking about each other. Once the possibility of their teaming up started to take shape, it became impossible to ignore. One of Tamil cinema's most acclaimed filmmakers and one of Bollywood's biggest actor-stars, famously known as Mr Perfectionist, joining forces for the first time? Who wouldn't want to bet on that project? Even before their superhero film materialises, Lokesh and Aamir have already officially collaborated. The actor recently played a cameo in Lokesh's upcoming Rajinikanth-led actioner Coolie. Although Lokesh and his team tried to keep Aamir's involvement under wraps, the news was simply too big to contain. The makers eventually confirmed his role and even revealed his character poster. Now, Lokesh has opened up about his experience working with the Bollywood legend, as well as about their upcoming project, which is already in development. 'We actually did not want to let the world know that Aamir sir is a part of Coolie. That's why we shot with him somewhere else and didn't let any news come out. But there were speculations and talks. Then Aamir sir called me and said, 'Lokesh, I can't keep lying in front of the camera. I've been doing it from morning for my film (Sitaare Zameen Par). Can I just say it?' Hearing this, I was like, 'Please say it, sir. It's not a world secret. I'll talk to the production house.' So, I told Sun Pictures, let's release a poster featuring Aamir sir and let the news out. Films are made for people, you can't keep them tightly under wraps all the time,' he shared during a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India. Lokesh went on to say that working with Aamir Khan felt similar to his experience collaborating with Kamal Haasan in Vikram (2022). 'When working with Kamal sir, after a shot, if you approach him with a correction, he too will have one correction to give you. So, you'll be confused wondering which one you like the most. Hence, you need to fix on one thing, and if you want a little improvisation, you just need to show them what they actually did and ask for slight improvement instead of going for a completely different thing. That's one similarity I have noticed between the two of them. And they will ask for retakes even if I say okay (to a shot). Aamir sir worked on the movie for just 5-6 days, and he will always ask, 'Can I do it one more time just for my own satisfaction?' And I would agree since we all love to see them perform,' he added. Speaking about his planned project with Aamir, Lokesh said, 'After Kaithi 2, we might most probably be doing a film with Aamir sir. It will be a Hindi film, but for the entire globe, not just for the Indian audience. It's a very nice idea, and we had a wonderful time discussing it. I love the way he approached the film. I think our collaboration will bring a new kind of genre. It'll be the biggest action film and can be called a superhero film as well. I wrote it very long ago.'
