Shruti Haasan is gearing up to appear in a pivotal role in Coolie, starring Rajinikanth in the lead role. Ahead of the movie’s release, the actress was seen in an interview with Sudhir Sreenivasan, revealing that she had the opportunity to share the screen space with all the big stars.

Speaking at the interview, Shruti Haasan said, “I have combination scenes with all the actors in Coolie, and I am thrilled to share screen space with such a heavy-duty star cast.”
In an older interview, she had revealed how she’ll be playing the role of Sathyaraj’s daughter, as opposed to early reports of her character being Rajinikanth’s daughter.
Moving ahead, Shruti called Rajinikanth a man with a “golden heart,” and that she was blown away on set after witnessing his positive energy. She added how the superstar’s expressions and dialogues are like a “minimalized version” of dance or fight choreography, similar to seeing Bruce Lee’s movies.
