Coolie Sequel Plans: From an action-drama starring Rajinikanth to a box-office explosion, as Coolie is; this victorious film leaves many fans with one burning question: will there be a sequel? With the open-ended conclusion and few hints scattered here and there, speculations have reached an all-time high.
Without spoiling much, the end of Coolie keeps character arcs unresolved, thereby initiating new possible conflicts. Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has developed a habit of laying down the connections amongst his films into an overarching cinematic universe, has also hinted in a few interviews that Coolie was conceived with larger storytelling dynamics. This much leaves space for a sequel.
Rajinikanth’s selling power is perhaps the greatest strength of Coolie. While the superstar usually takes his own sweet time between projects, the massive outpouring of fan response may sway him toward reprising the role if the script so demands it. Lokesh is someone who writes roles which keep veteran actors up to date while adding contemporary issues to their characters. Coolie 2 thus becomes quite interesting for the legend.
There is no official word giving a green signal to Coolie 2 yet. However, production sources indicate that Lokesh has already chalked out a storyline for the sequel. Its fate might depend on the movie’s commercial performance now that it has set in quite strong numbers in the first week, and if the momentum persists, then it could be announced sooner than anticipated.
Should the sequel happen, expectations will be sky-high. Lokesh has to find a balance between action and a more compelling storyline. Casting in itself could be so key that fans might expect surprise cameos or crossover appearances from other characters within the Lokesh Cinematic Universe.

Coolie 2 may still be wishful thinking as of today, but everything points towards its release. Should Rajinikanth choose to rejoin the team, it will go on record as one of the most anticipated films in Indian cinema. Until that day, anticipation hangs in the air as fans wish for a monumental announcement from Lokesh Kanagaraj.
