A Star-Studded Family Moment

Sobhita Dhulipala, the talented actress known for her roles in Made in Heaven and Ponniyin Selvan, recently took to social media to express her excitement for her father-in-law, Nagarjuna Akkineni’s, striking performance in the upcoming film Coolie. Sharing the Telugu trailer of the movie on her Instagram Stories, Sobhita wrote, “Semmaaa masss! Killing them softly mavayya Nagarjuna Akkineni,” accompanied by three crown emojis. Her enthusiastic praise highlights the strong bond within the Akkineni family and showcases her admiration for Nagarjuna’s captivating screen presence.

The trailer, which dropped on August 2, 2025, has created a massive buzz, with fans and critics alike praising Nagarjuna’s intense and rugged portrayal of Simon, the film’s antagonist. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and starring Rajinikanth as the lead, Coolie promises to be a high-octane action thriller, set to hit theaters on August 14, 2025.

Nagarjuna’s Menacing Avatar in Coolie

In Coolie, Nagarjuna steps into the role of Simon, a formidable underworld kingpin who controls a dangerous empire. The trailer showcases his commanding presence, dressed in a sharp white tee and blazer, exuding a dark charisma that has left audiences intrigued. Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Nagarjuna shared his excitement about playing a villain, stating, “Everyone said I made for a very charming villain. Lokesh has presented me that way. I had such a liberating experience.” His bold and menacing look has clearly resonated with Sobhita, who described his performance as “larger-than-life” and impactful.

The film boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Rajinikanth as Deva, an aging smuggler, alongside Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and a cameo by Aamir Khan. The trailer hints at an intense showdown between Deva and Simon, setting the stage for a gripping cinematic experience.

Sobhita’s Heartfelt Support

Sobhita’s social media post is more than just a shoutout—it’s a reflection of the close-knit Akkineni family. Having married Nagarjuna’s son, Naga Chaitanya, in December 2024 at Hyderabad’s iconic Annapurna Studios, Sobhita has seamlessly blended into the family. Her use of the affectionate Telugu term “mavayya” (meaning father-in-law) adds a personal touch to her praise, resonating with fans who admire the family’s unity. Nagarjuna, in turn, has been vocal about his affection for Sobhita, previously stating, “Watching Sobhita and Chay begin this beautiful chapter together has been a special and emotional moment for me.”

A Blockbuster in the Making

Coolie is generating significant buzz, not only for its star power but also for its high-stakes narrative and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s signature storytelling. While some fans have drawn comparisons to Kanagaraj’s previous hits like Vikram and Leo, the trailer’s gritty visuals and intense performances have sparked widespread excitement. Sobhita’s endorsement adds to the anticipation, signaling that Coolie is poised to be a cinematic spectacle.

As the release date approaches, Sobhita’s heartfelt support for Nagarjuna’s rugged and charismatic role in Coolie has only amplified the hype, making it a must-watch for fans of action-packed dramas.
