Coolie 2025 Story Leaked? Rajinikanth’s Mythic Avatar & Aamir Khan’s Surprise Twist Explained

Just a few weeks before its big release on 14 August 2025, Coolie: The Power House has made headlines due to a major story leak. Platforms like Letterboxd and Fandango accidentally revealed details about the film’s plot and characters. According to the leaked story, Rajinikanth plays Deva—not just an ordinary coolie, but someone with a powerful past. He once led a strong gang but had stepped away from that life. Now, when a dangerous smuggling network rises, Deva is forced to return and protect what he once stood for. The film is set in an old warehouse and promises a mix of action, emotion, and a strong social message, with Rajinikanth’s classic style.

Director Lokesh Kanagaraj, who vanished from public life for nearly two years to focus fully on this film, says he gave up family time and friendships—‘No family, no friends… just Coolie.’ Following Leo’s immense success, he embarks on his first-ever collaboration with Rajinikanth, setting high expectations for the film.

So far, Coolie: The Power House has dropped two major songs—especially “Monica,” featuring Pooja Hegde’s sizzling dance and a surprising energy burst from Sawin. But the real surprise isn’t just the beats or visuals. For the first time, a Tamil film hasn’t ignored its Hindi audience. The Hindi lyrics were kept intact with the original rhythm, and the singers—including Anirudh himself—were not replaced. That’s rare. This smart move shows Lokesh Kanagaraj’s serious approach toward pan-India appeal, especially with Coolie releasing in the same window as War 2. While War 2 banks on its spy-universe branding and Junior NTR’s North debut, Coolie has already gained an edge in audience buzz.

No teaser, no trailer—just songs and Rajinikanth’s presence are pulling in national attention. However, War 2 has locked all IMAX screens in advance, leaving Coolie at a screen disadvantage. This clash isn’t just about box office anymore—it’s a North vs. South showdown, and only one thing will win: content.

The recently dropped title track “Coolie: The Power House,” which came out on 22 July. While the Hindi version of the second song hasn’t been released yet, Hindi-speaking audiences are already vibing with it. Even without fully understanding the lyrics, they’ve called it powerful and full of energy.

In a rare crossover of legends, Coolie features a high-voltage cameo by Aamir Khan, confirmed by the actor himself. Speaking about it, Aamir revealed:

“I just told Lokesh, if Rajni sir is in it, I’m doing it. Whatever it is, I’m doing it.”

Aamir Khan praised Lokesh Kanagaraj’s quick, precise, and multi-camera-driven style, describing the shoot as “liberating” and contrasting it with Aamir’s usual detailed preparation. His role may be short, but it packs weight, especially as he appears during a 15-minute high-octane climax face-off with Rajinikanth. This explosive sequence, according to inside sources, could redefine the film’s entire narrative arc. With Upendra and Shruti Haasan in strong supporting roles and Anirudh Ravichander’s pulse-pounding score adding the punch, Coolie is shaping up as more than just another mass entertainer.

Coolie is not just a film—it’s the first mass action film of Lokesh’s career without leaning into cop or gangster tropes. In his own words, it’s “my most unique film yet,” centered on blue-collar revolt, where coolies rise against systemic exploitation. Lokesh reportedly avoided showing any guns in the trailer deliberately to highlight the raw, hand-to-hand brutality that defines the story. The warehouse set—a massive, lived-in maze—acts as a character itself, packed with secrets and set-piece chaos.

 

He also confirmed the film is not part of the LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) and will stream on Amazon Prime Video eight weeks post-theatrical release.

 

With its leaked storyline, Rajinikanth’s mythic twist, Aamir Khan’s surprise entry, and Lokesh’s boldest vision yet, Coolie 2025 is shaping up to be a massive Independence Day storm. The hype is real, the cast is fire, and the screens are about to explode.
