Earlier this week, the makers announced that Soubin Shahir joined the cast. On Nagarjuna’s 69th birthday, his association with the project was announced. The latest addition to the film is Shruti Haasan. Director Lokesh Kanagaraj shared a poster featuring Shruti Haasan and he wrote on X (earlier known as Twitter), “Kicked to have Shruti Haasan joining the cast of Coolie as Preethi. Welcome on board.”
