Coolie shoot halted: Rajini suffers with mild fever

The incessant rains lashing Hyderabad have not only impacted the daily lives of citizens but have also brought filming of Rajinikanth's highly anticipated film, 'Coolie,' to a standstill.

Sources reveal that after two days of shooting, the unit was forced to take a break due to the inability to film in outdoor locations. Rajinikanth himself reportedly experienced a mild fever due to the cold weather and remained at a star hotel until he recovered.

The crew, prioritizing safety, decided to halt production, and shooting is expected to resume in a week or two.

The action-packed film, directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj ('Khaidi', 'Vikram'), features Rajinikanth in a pivotal role, though the exact nature of his character remains a mystery. The teaser showcased his unique, rugged appearance and energetic persona, piquing the interest of fans.

Joining the star-studded cast is veteran South Indian actor, Nagarjuna Akkineni, who will be portraying the role of Simon. His character teaser reveals an edgy, fearless persona, further fueling anticipation for the film.

With the collaboration of such prominent figures and Lokesh Kanagaraj's reputation for delivering blockbusters, 'Coolie' has generated immense buzz, and the recent rain-induced delay has only heightened the excitement for its release.
