Pooja was born in Kochi and raised on a mix of newspapers, pop culture, and too many questions. She studied Communicative English and Journalism before earning her Master’s in Journalism from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, and began her career interning at The Times of India and Channel I'M — where she later became a news anchor, scripting and presenting her own stories. Between deadlines, she’s worked across digital media platforms, covering politics, gender, pop culture, cinema, and everything in between. She has interviewed actors, creators, and changemakers, and occasionally edits her own video content — thanks to being certified in Photoshop and InDesign. In 2025, she joined the Asian Media Group in her first “official” newsroom gig, where she now covers entertainment, lifestyle, and the layered realities of South Asian identity. She believes storytelling should feel personal — even when it’s public — and likes to write not to please, but to provoke, question, and occasionally stir the pot.

Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan to lock horns in Coolie climax

According to sources close to the production, the climax of Coolie will revolve around a tense and dramatic confrontation between Rajinikanth and Aamir Khan. The face-off was filmed over ten days in Rajasthan and will reportedly be packed with emotionally charged dialogue and stylised action. The makers have called it a defining moment in the film’s narrative.

Khan, who recently spoke about the cameo, revealed he agreed to the role without hearing the full script. “I’m a huge fan of Rajini sir. The moment Lokesh told me it’s for his film, I said yes,” the actor shared in a recent interview. This will also be the first collaboration between Aamir Khan and director Lokesh Kanagaraj.

Coolie to release as Majdoor in Hindi; not part of LCU

While fans speculated if Coolie would connect to Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Cinematic Universe (LCU), the director has clarified that the film stands alone. With a budget of £33 million (₹350 crore), Coolie is expected to be one of the year’s biggest box office events when it releases on 14 August 2025, ahead of India’s Independence Day weekend.


Due to existing Bollywood films titled Coolie, the Hindi-dubbed version will release as Majdoor. The film’s music by Anirudh Ravichander is already gaining traction, particularly the catchy track Chikitu, which has struck a chord with fans online.
