Shruti Haasan Emphasizes Preeti’s Quiet Strength in Coolie Interviews

Lokesh Kanagaraj’s direction guided Haasan’s portrayal of a focused, responsible character ahead of the film’s August 14 release.

Overview

  • Shruti Haasan describes Preeti as extremely responsible, focused and inspiring while noting the role differs sharply from her personal demeanor.
  • She affirmed that her father Kamal Haasan remains her number one influence even as she embraces Rajinikanth’s mentorship and fan appeal.
  • Haasan credits Lokesh Kanagaraj’s collaborative approach along with Rajinikanth and Nagarjuna’s guidance for pushing her to explore new facets of her performance.
  • Preeti’s emotional depth is intended to balance Coolie’s large-scale action and fan-service as the film nears its theatrical debut.
  • Coolie opens in theatres on August 14 and goes head-to-head with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2 at the box office.
