Sivakarthikeyan meets Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie writers: What's cooking?
Earlier rumours suggested that Lokesh was considering casting Sivakarthikeyan in Coolie. Given that Sivakarthikeyan is a die-hard fan of Rajinikanth, Lokesh wouldn't need to ask him twice to be part of Coolie.

Tamil star Sivakarthikeyan recently met director Lokesh Kanagaraj in Chennai, sparking widespread speculation about a potential collaboration between the two. Sivakarthikeyan also met the team of screenwriters working on Lokesh's next project, Coolie, which will star Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role.
Screenwriter Chandhru Anbazhagan tweeted a photo of Sivakarthikeyan posing with the Coolie team. It seems that Sivakarthikeyan was there to be part of someone's birthday celebration. "#Maaveeran visits team #Coolie Thank you for making it special with your presence and for the wishes @Siva_Kartikeyan brother. Thank you @Dir_Lokesh, @iamarunviswa and #Coolie’s Direction team for making it a special birthday," tweeted Chandhru.
Chandhru shares a good rapport with Sivakarthikeyan, having co-written Sivakarthikeyan's 2023 hit Maaveeran. He was also one of the writers for Lokesh's feature debut Maanagaram. Lokesh roped in Chandhru to co-write the screenplay for his maiden collaboration with Rajinikanth.
Earlier rumours suggested that Lokesh was considering casting Sivakarthikeyan in Coolie. Given that Sivakarthikeyan is a die-hard fan of Rajinikanth, Lokesh wouldn't need to ask him twice to be part of Coolie. However, nothing official has been confirmed yet.
Lokesh is particularly known for maintaining secrecy about the cast of his movies.
Sivakarthikeyan recently wrapped up shooting for his upcoming movie, Amaran.
In the meantime, the scripting work for Coolie is ongoing. Earlier, Chandhru posted a photo commemorating the completion of the first half of the script. "Eppo Nadakkum... Epdi Nadakkum nu Yaarukum theriyaadhu... Aana Nadakka Veandiya Nerathula Correct ah Nadakkum... #Coolie 1st half - Kicked to collaborate with you @Dir_Lokesh," he tweeted.
Coolie is expected to go on the floors in early June. Earlier, the filmmakers released the title announcement teaser for Coolie, revealing Rajinikanth's look in the movie. Bankrolled by Sun Pictures, the film is set to hit the screens next year.
