Chennai, the chosen land of superstar Rajinikanth
Entertainment
It is easy to slot actors into clichés, and often, Rajinikanth slips into that zone. The tossing of his hair backwards, the flick of a cigarette into the mouth, and lightning-quick dialogues have all become part of a template. But within these visible external props resides a fine actor, who can hold your attention in a tight close-up.
His eyes emote, and a forehead twitch conveys much more than expansive two-page speeches. As the superstar, who has seen 74 summers, turns 50 in his celluloid career, it is time for Chennai and the rest of the world to welcome his latest action flick Coolie, set to release in theatres today, Thursday (August 14, 2025).
