It is enough if I just stand next to him (Rajinikanth) and go. That is because if I am an Ekalavya, he is like my Dronacharya. I follow him so much. If he has provided entertainment to others, he has provided enlightenment to me. I consider myself really blessed to have done this with him.”

Touted to be an action thriller, "Coolie" will feature many top actors, including Telugu star Nagarjuna, Kannada star Upendra, Malayalam star Soubin Shahir, and Tamil star Sathyaraj.
