Decked in his iconic retro look, wielding a chain with swagger and rage, Rajinikanth owns the screen in every scene - proving once again why he's the eternal superstar.

As reported by Pinkvilla, the Tamil-language action-thriller has been mounted on a staggering budget of Rs 375 cr. As per a TOI report, Amazon Prime Video has acquired the digital rights of Thalaivar's film. That means, Coolie is expected to have its OTT premiere on Prime after its theatrical run.

Previously, rumours went rife that Coolie was a part of Kanagaraj's LCU (Lokesh Kanagaraj Universe). Later, the director clarified that Thalaivar 171 (#Thalaivar171) is a standalone film.
