FazTimes Media, August 2025 – Chennai / Hyderabad: A big star-studded event preceded the highly anticipated release of Coolie. Rajinikanth, a veteran superstar, was the main attraction. He not only impressed everyone with his charm but also gave warm praise to his co-star Nagarjuna and shared a meaningful message about staying fit for his fans. Coolie is a big movie directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, who has made many successful films. It is set to release in theatres on August 14 and is already getting a lot of attention in South India and other parts of the country. During the event, Rajinikanth shared a personal and encouraging story about his long-time colleague, whom he affectionately calls King Nagarjuna.

A Meeting After Three Decades

Rajinikanth shared that he first worked with Nagarjuna over 30 years ago. “We first teamed up in 1991 for a movie called Nattukku Oru Nallavan, which was released as Shanti Kranti in Telugu,” he remembered, which made fans who had been around for a long time smile.

Thereafter, the two didn’t work together much, as Nagarjuna kept a low profile outside of his work. “He doesn’t go to many events, and he doesn’t talk much,” Rajinikanth said. “So when I saw him again after all these years for Coolie, I was shocked—he looked younger than ever!”

The Mystery Behind the Youthful Glow

Rajinikanth complimented Nagarjuna on his big change over time. “His skin looks shiny, his face looks better, his body is in great shape, and even his hair looks thicker,” he said, making the crowd laugh and cheer. Wanting to find out the secret, Rajinikanth couldn’t help but ask his co-star directly. “I had to know how he keeps doing it,” he smiled. Nagarjuna didn’t share all the details, but Rajinikanth thought that hard work, staying disciplined, and living healthily might be the answer.

According to BBC News, Nagarjuna has talked before about eating well, doing yoga, and working out regularly—things he keeps doing even now that he’s in his 60s.

It's important to remember this wellness punchline.

For fans hoping to learn a few tips, Rajinikanth ended the conversation with his usual wise saying:

“If you don’t work out your body, it will work out on you.” He explained that our body parts—like the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, and even tiny cells—want us to move. “They’re telling us to run, to move, to give them the exercise they need to work well. But we often ignore them,” he said.

This, he said, isn’t about being overly strict but about respecting our body by keeping it active. “Exercise isn’t just about looking attractive; it’s about making sure your internal systems are working properly,” he added, emphasising that this is especially important for people in their 40s and older.

Fans React: Inspiration Beyond the Screen

Within hours of the event, videos of Rajinikanth’s comments started going viral on social media, with tags like #CooliePromo, #RajinikanthWisdom, and #NagarjunaFitness trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.

Local fan groups in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh praised the speech for showing that movie stars can inspire not just through their acting but also through their thoughts on life. “We love how Rajini Sir speaks about life. It feels like advice from a family member,” said Mahesh Kumar, a Chennai fan who has followed Rajinikanth since the 1980s.

The Rajini–Nagarjuna Chemistry

People in the film industry think that Coolie will be more than just a movie full of action. With two top actors sharing the screen, there’s a lot of excitement about how they’ll interact on camera. Lokesh Kanagaraj told reporters, “We have tried to balance fun movies with strong storytelling.”

Health, Fame, and Responsibility

Rajinikanth’s comments also brought up a bigger topic — the role of famous people in setting a positive example. With many people facing health issues related to lifestyle, when celebrities discuss healthy living, it can make a real difference in how others behave.

“People pay attention to celebrities,” said Dr S. Aravind, a wellness coach in Chennai.

Looking Ahead to the Release

With the release of Coolie on August 14, we anticipate ticket bookings to commence shortly. Trade experts think the film will do well, especially in Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana. Early reports suggest the movie will be shown in many parts of India and even in other countries, reaching the large Tamil and Telugu communities abroad.

Rajinikanth's health comment has sparked a conversation among fans, likely keeping the movie in the news as the release date approaches. It’s still uncertain if Coolie will be a giant hit at the box office, but the friendship between the two veteran actors has already made an impression on many people.
