Ahead of the release of the much-anticipated film Coolie, Shruti Haasan has opened up about her character in the Rajinikanth-starrer, answering some of the speculations about it.

In an interview with Galatta Plus, the actor stated that her character in Coolie embodies 'quiet resilience'. She refuted rumours that stated she would be seen performing stunts in the film. She said she is a 'healthy dose of estrogen in the testosterone-filled Coolie'.

Coolie is her first feature film collaboration with Lokesh Kanagaraj, with whom she appeared in her music video 'Inimel'. The film also marks her maiden appearance alongside Rajinikanth.

Produced by Kalanithi Maran under his Sun Pictures banner, Coolie boasts a star-studded ensemble consisting of Nagarjuna as Simon, Sathyaraj as Rajasekar, Upendra as Kaleesha, Shruti Haasan as Preethi, and Soubin Shahir as Dayal. Rajinikanth plays Deva in the film. Confirming speculations, it was revealed that Aamir Khan will play Dahaa in Coolie. The film is a reunion of sorts as Rajini teams up with Sathyaraj 38 years after Mr Bharath and Aamir Khan 29 years after Aatank Hi Aatank.

The rest of the technical crew consists of cinematography by Girish Gangadharan, editing by Philomin Raj, and stunts by Anbariv. The film's dialogues are written by Lokesh and Chandhru Anbazhagan, who have also contributed to the additional screenplay.

Coolie is releasing on August 14 in Tamil, Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada.
