Rajinikanth is currently awaiting the release of his highly anticipated movie Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, scheduled for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14. With fans eagerly awaiting its launch, any update related to the actor is getting amplified online, for better or worse.
In this scenario, a video claiming to show Rajinikanth — apparently an old man falling inside a house — has gone viral on social media. The video has quickly spread across platforms, sparking confusion, speculation, and reactions from fans and trolls alike, despite the identity in the video being unclear.
Some netizens began trolling the clip, suggesting it is the opening scene of Coolie, while others took it further by alleging Rajinikanth is hospitalized and unable to attend promotional events for the film. These claims have no verified source and are entirely based on online chatter and assumptions.
Several people online believe the video is either morphed or simply fake, pointing out that it lacks clarity and doesn’t confirm the person’s identity. Nonetheless, many social media users are quick to link the incident to Rajinikanth without confirming its authenticity, further fueling misinformation.
Adding to the chaos, even some prominent media outlets shared the video, attributing the person in it to Rajinikanth without proper verification. This raises questions about media responsibility and the dangers of sharing unconfirmed visuals in today’s viral culture.
Amidst all this, social media remains flooded with Coolie movie edits and fan-made content. The alleged fall video continues to spread alongside the actual promotional buzz, blurring the line between fact and fiction during the film’s build-up.
