This statement has created a lot of buzz online. Lokesh is known for adding exciting twists and powerful scenes in his films. If he says the intermission is the highlight, fans are more curious than ever to know what will happen during that break in the story.

Theories, Twists, And A Lot of Buzz

The Coolie trailer has already sparked plenty of chatter among fans. One standout moment shows Rajinikanth’s younger face transformed into a photo negative, instantly triggering a wave of nostalgia. This visual cue led many to speculate that the film might explore time travel elements or explore sci-fi territory. However, Lokesh Kanagaraj recently restated those rumors, clarifying that no time travel is involved. Instead, he revealed that a watch factory plays a crucial role in the storyline, adding an intriguing layer to the plot.
