Anirudh Ravichander to get Chikitutified with Coolie first single
The Coolie first single, titled Chikitu, is composed by Anirudh Ravichander himself who crooned it along with TR Rajendran. The Tamil-language street style song will be choreographed by actor-choreographer Sandy Master.
With the music video being unveiled on June 25, in an early post, Rajinikanth's PRO head, Riaz K Ahmed, underlined that Coolie updates will be taking place on both June 24 and 25.
The upcoming movie Coolie, featuring Rajinikanth in the lead role is touted to be an action entertainer by director Lokesh Kanagaraj. The flick is expected to present the superstar in a negative role with actor Nagarjuna Akkineni and Upendra Rao playing pivotal characters.
Apart from them, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will be making a cameo appearance with performers like Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj and more being part of the ensemble cast.
Interestingly, Pooja Hegde will be making an appearance in the movie for a special dance number.
Unlike most films of director Lokesh Kanagaraj, the upcoming Rajinikanth starrer is said to be outside of his cinematic universe, LCU. As the flick is hitting big screens for Indian Independence week, it will be clashing with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR starrer War 2.
Coming to Rajinikanth 's work front, the superstar is currently involved in the filming for Jailer 2, directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. The film is set to serve as the sequel to 2023's Jailer, with stars like Mohanlal and Shiva Rajkumar expected to reprise their old roles.
Additionally, reports indicate that veteran Telugu star Nandamuri Balakrishna will be appearing in an extended cameo as well.

Kaantha trailer: Dulquer Salmaan, Samuthirakani head a tale of bruised egos between father-son. Watch
Kaantha trailer: The trailer for Selvaraj Selvamani's Dulquer Salmaan and Samuthirakani-starrer Kaantha was released on Monday. Dulquer, who celebrates his birthday today, July 28, and Samuthirakani play son and father in what looks like a retro tale of bruised egos. Kaantha trailer: The Tamil-Telugu bi-lingual is produced by Rana Daggubati and Dulquer Salmaan. Kaantha trailer The trailer for Kaantha begins with a studio announcing a horror film called Saantha, the first horror film being made in Tamil/Telugu. Set in 1950s Madras, Samuthirakani is shown as the director of the film, fondly called Ayya by everyone, who doesn't seem happy about the film's cast. Leading the film is his son, a superstar who was trained all his life by his father to be in films, and yet, something has gone wrong between them. Even as Dulquer tells a co-star that no one respects Ayya more than him, the feelings don't seem reciprocated. Ayya is quick to choke his son and throw chairs at him. But after he decides to make the female actor, played by Bhagyashri Borse, both the 'hero and heroine', Dulquer seems at wits' end, deciding to hit back. He even tells the studio that the film will now be called Kaantha, not Saantha. The trailer ends by hinting at a war of ego between father and son. The internet thought the trailer of Kaantha was 'superb' if reactions on X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube are anything to go by. 'Big fan of your gemini ganeshan role in Mahanati. Now this one also giving same vibes. Can't wait to experience this on screen,' commented one fan. 'more than expected. seems another banger loading,' wrote another. One person thought Kaantha was a 'sureshot hit' while a few others praised Dulquer for his script selection. About Kaantha Kaantha is written and directed by Selvaraj Selvamani and stars Dulquer, Samuthirakani and Bhagyashri as the leads. Jhanu Chanthar composed the music for the film, which will be released in theatres on 12 September. Rana Daggubati, Dulquer Salmaan, Prashanth Potluri and Jom Varghese produce the film under Spirit Media and Wayfarer Films.
