Nagarjuna confirms playing villian role in Rajanikanth's 'Coolie'
Telugu superstar Nagarjuna in an interview given to The Hollywood Reporter India said that he is playing the villain role in Rajanikanth's upcoming action-thriller 'Coolie' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.
"I don't know what made Lokesh come to me, but the first question hje asked me was, Do you mind playing an antagonist? He told me that if that wasn't the cards at all, then we would just talk, have a cup of tea and he would go back. I told him that I was not against playing a negative role, but first had to listen to the script," Nagarjuna recalled.
But halfway through listening to Lokesh narration, I was hooked, the actor said.
"In a word I can say my role in 'Coolie' is liberating," the actor added.
'Coolie' recently wrapped its shooting and boast a stellar caste including Kannada superstar Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan and Mollywood actor Soubin Shahir. Anirudh Ravichander composes music for the project which is produced by Kalanithi Maran's Sun Pictures.
Meanwhile, Nagarjuna's 'Kubera', along with Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna, is scheduled for release on June 20. The film is directed by Sekhar Kammula and produced by Suniel Narang and Puskur Rammohan Rao of Amigos Creations.

'Kuberaa' box-office report: Dhanush's 2nd Telugu film struggles at box-office despite stellar reviews
Brimming with expectations and supported by a star-studded cast including Dhanush , Nagarjuna, and Rashmika Mandanna, Kuberaa was hailed as one of the most anticipated cinematic releases of the year. Audiences and critics alike offered a warm reception to the film, praising its storytelling and particularly applauding Dhanush's performance in an unconventional role as a destitute man. Yet, despite its critical appreciation, the movie's commercial performance did not reflect that enthusiasm at the box office . Opening Collections Fall Short of Expectations According to data reported by Sacnilk, a popular platform known for tracking movie earnings, Kuberaa generated close to Rs 13 crore in revenue over its first two days in theatres. Specifically, the film raked in ₹12.98 crore on its debut day. While not a disastrous opening, the numbers were slightly below par when compared to Dhanush's previous theatrical venture, Raayan, which had achieved a more robust ₹15.7 crore on day one. This comparison has sparked discussions among trade analysts, given that Kuberaa had the advantage of a strong cast and simultaneous Telugu-Tamil release. About the Film: A Crime Saga Rooted in South India Kuberaa is a 2025 Indian crime thriller helmed by acclaimed director Sekhar Kammula. The screenplay was crafted by Kammula in collaboration with Chaithanya Pingali. Jointly backed by production houses Sree Venkateswara Cinemas LLP and Amigos Creations, the movie was simultaneously shot in both Telugu and Tamil, aiming to cater to a wider audience across South India. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like IELTS Cheat Sheet: Grab Your Free Tips!

Dhanush takes on the role of Deva, a simple-minded and impoverished man from the temple town of Tirupati. His life takes a dramatic turn when he gets entangled in a dangerous web of deceit and power. He must outsmart Deepak Tej, a former Central Bureau of Investigation officer whose moral compass has long been shattered. The supporting cast includes Nagarjuna in a pivotal role, Rashmika Mandanna, Jim Sarbh, and veteran actor Dalip Tahil. Critical Acclaim but Lukewarm Box Office Momentum Although Kuberaa has been appreciated for its performances, layered narrative, and grounded realism, its initial earnings suggest that the movie might face an uphill climb to become a commercial success. With word-of-mouth and weekend numbers being critical in determining a film's trajectory, all eyes are now on how the crime drama performs in the coming days. Whether the film manages to pick up pace or fizzles out remains to be seen.
