Apart from Nagarjuna, `Coolie` also features other prominent actors like Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Soubin Shahir, and Mahendran.

While the official release date for `Coolie` is not announced yet, it is expected to hit the screens in the second half of next year. The film is generating a lot of buzz among fans, and with the addition of Nagarjuna to the star cast, the excitement for the film is only going to increase.
