Chennai’s theatres turned into carnivals as Coolie hit screens, with the First Day First Show (FDFS) transforming into a full-blown celebration. Fans thronged theatres in huge numbers, creating an atmosphere of unmatched excitement.
Director Lokesh Kanagaraj was spotted soaking in the fan frenzy and couldn’t hide his excitement.
“We’ve just come out after watching the movie, and the response was so good. I’m going to watch the next show as well. Go and ask the people coming out whether the movie was good — the sound of their claps will be the answer. We’ll talk about everything else later. Whenever the opportunity arises, I will definitely do a movie with Ajith Sir,” said Lokesh.
