CoolieTeaser: On Monday, filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj revealed the title of his upcoming film with Rajinikanth. Making the announcement on X (previously known as Twitter), Lokesh also treated fans to a captivating over-three-minute teaser of the film, previously referred to as Thalaivar 171.
The video depicts various individuals laboring in a factory, meticulously crafting gold items ranging from chains to watches. Amidst their work, one worker is alerted to an unauthorized breach in security, prompting caution. Stepping outside with a gold chain in hand to confront the intruder, the worker unexpectedly finds himself on the receiving end of a beating instead.
Following this, the teaser showcases intense fight sequences between Rajinikanth’s character and the factory workers. Notably, the entire teaser has been filmed in black and white, with only the vibrant gold color visible.
