Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth, is all set to entertain audiences in theaters worldwide in a few days. The film’s advance ticket sales overseas are huge. The fans are expecting a link to LCU in Coolie.
South Indian Cinema fans know about LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe), which includes Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. Before the release of the Vikram movie, no one knew that it was linked to Kaithi.
Director Lokesh surprised everyone with his social media post, where he requested everyone to watch Kaithi before they watch Vikram. That was a sweet shock for everyone, and in the movie, the Kaithi link and lead scene for Rolex worked brilliantly and created a massive fanbase for LCU.
Even for Leo, the Lokesh Kanagaraj team did not officially mention it as an LCU film before release. But it turned out to be a part of the Lokesh Cinematic Universe. Coming to Coolie, the team continuously said officially that it will be a standalone film and not a part of LCU.
But fans continuously link the trailer shots of Coolie and say they are LCU references; especially some netizens compare the film with Vikram’s scenes, and analyses are going viral on the internet.
The surprising factor is that most of the audience still believes it is part of LCU. We need to wait and see what Lokesh Kanagaraj has cooked for Coolie.
The advance bookings for the film are going on a rampage. With the bookings total already at 55 Cr gross worldwide, it is set to create a new benchmark for Kollywood.
