Team India keeper-batter Sanju Samson has opened up on his being a Rajnikanth fanboy, claiming that he will go for first day and first show for the star's upcoming movie Coolie. Samson also recalled how he went to watch a Rajnikanth movie in Dublin, Ireland and the theatre was full.
One of the biggest stars in Indian Cinema, the 74-year-old's film Coolie is all set to hit the theatres worldwide on August 14, 2025. Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan will also star in the film, with Lokesh Kangaraj directing it.
Speaking to Ravichandran Ashwin on his YouTube channel, Samason said:
"I remember I was in Ireland in Dublin. I was there for an Indian game. I realised Rajni sir's movie was releasing tomorrow and I'm having a match the next day. I went solo in search of a theatre playing the movie and booked the ticket. I watched it and came back. I have gone to that extent as a fan. Definitely, I'm thrilled for his next movie. There were a lot of audience, Malayalis, Tamils and Andhra people."
When asked how he plans to watch Coolie, the Kerala-born cricketer responded:
"I will go to theatres. If possible, first day, first show."
