It is rumoured that Mollywood actor Soubin Shahir has joined the cast of Lokesh Kanagaraj’s next directorial ‘Coolie’. Lokesh Kanagaraj tries to bring actors from other industries in his movies to raise up the hype and quite successfully so. And Coolie’s star Rajinikanth had his last movie ‘Jailer’ loaded with actors from industries all over India, be it Mohanlal, Sivakarthikeyan or Jackie Shroff.
Fahadh Faasil in ‘Vikram’ was something that the audience did not prepare itself for. His phenomenal performance and stunning screen presence took the movie to another level. It might not have been possible for any other actor to match up with Kamal Hassan.
Soubin Shahir is a wonderful actor and has made audiences cry and laugh with his amazing movies and if Lokesh Kanagaraj signs him for the movie, he might be in a pretty major role. He will not, most probably, be in for a cameo. It will be quite interesting to see Rajinikanth and Soubin Shahir sharing screen and it might as well be as electrifying as it was to see Faasil and Kamal Hassan together.
There are no official announcements yet but fans are hopeful that the rumours are all true. Soubin Shahir has given the audiences masterpieces like ‘Kumbalangi Nights’ and ‘Manjummel Boys’ but he has not stepped out of the Malayalam film industry. ‘Coolie’ will be a nice opportunity for him to do a Tamil action thriller and his fans will be happy to see him in a different avatar.
