No Time Travel in Coolie, Lokesh Sounds Nervous

The much-awaited trailer of Rajinikanth’s Coolie was released recently, and while the response has been mixed, social media was abuzz with fan theories. Some viewers speculated that Coolie might be a time travel film after spotting a few sci-fi-inspired shots in the trailer.

However, in a recent interview, director Lokesh Kanagaraj clarified that Coolie has nothing to do with time travel. He explained that the film’s story unfolds in a watch factory, which is why the posters and promotional videos feature a watch as a chain.

This clarification led some netizens to believe that Lokesh Kanagaraj might be trying to manage expectations after the lukewarm trailer response. They feel that he is revealing key plot details to avoid disappointing audiences after the film’s release. Others have suggested that the director should be more cautious during interviews and promotions, as excessive revelations could spoil the film’s surprises and reduce the excitement.

Despite these concerns, Coolie continues to carry massive expectations among fans. Whether it lives up to the hype and becomes a blockbuster will be revealed when it hits theatres on August 14.
