Superstar Rajinikanth on Saturday (August 2) set social media on fireplace as the trailer of his much-awaited actioner Cooliewas unveiled by the makers. As is the case with all movies directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the trailer of Coolie has been put below the microscope by keen followers, and plenty of fan theories have already been making the rounds.
So, with out a lot ado, let’s break down the three-minute trailer and see what Lokesh could be having in retailer for us when Coolie hits the screens on August 14. Again, honest warning to whomsoever involved — the following are merely assumptions based mostly on the trailer.
What’s up with Sathyaraj and his torture chair?
From the trailer, it looks like veteran actor Sathyaraj’s character acts as the ethical centre of Lokesh’s story. We see him function in a hideout with an electrical torture chair of kinds. This character is a father determine to a couple younger girls, together with Shruti Haasan’s character, which brings us to the subsequent prediction.
Are Sathyaraj and Rajinikanth combating intercourse trafficking in ‘Coolie’?
If LCU is about making a drug-free society, the world of Coolie appears to be about tackling the social evil of intercourse trafficking.
Even the opening dialogue, a couple of new know-how that may erase all traces of a human being from the world, provides to this principle. Perhaps this know-how helps villains kidnap orphan girls and get away with it.
Interestingly, there’s a shot of Nagarjuna’s antagonist character wanting in the direction of what appears to be a wall of LED displays, probably to talk together with his contacts throughout the globe (It does remind one among the same thought from The Dark Knight Rises, and given Lokesh’s admiration for Nolan’s Batman movies, this could be one other hat-tip).
If our assumptions from the trailer are proper, the story would possibly centre round how Sathyaraj’s character — and a vibrant group of younger girls he has protected over the years — search revenge from Nagarjuna’s human trafficking kingpin, who makes use of delivery containers to do the job. Soubin appears to be in cost of the ports.
Sathyaraj makes use of his torture chair and a lethal serum to interrogate and execute Nagarjuna’s males, whereas Shruti is tasked to eliminate the our bodies.
Perhaps tragedy strikes when the villains uncover Sathyaraj’s hideout? And that’s when he brings out his largest, most threatening weapon — Deva, performed by Rajinikanth. And as apparent because it appears from the trailer, Sathyaraj’s character would possibly die in the film, after which an unleashed Deva takes over the mission.
Is Deva inspired by Raja from ‘Thee’?
The largest highlights of the trailer are pictures from a flashback portion, exhibiting Rajinikanth and Upendra’s characters sporting blue uniforms as coolie staff. According to many fan theories doing the rounds, this can be a hat-tip to Rajinikanth’s 1981 film, Thee, in which he performed a coolie employee named Raja.
A shot of Deva hanging a matchstick in opposition to his steel badge is straight out of the R Krishnamoorthy directorial, and so is the last destructive picture wanting Deva shifting a cigarette between his lips from proper to left.
