Rajinikanth is back — and this time, with a bang that has taken over the internet. The superstar’s latest song Chikitu from his upcoming film Coolie dropped on June 25, 2025, and it has quickly snowballed into one of the fastest-trending tracks of the year. Within just three hours of its release, the song amassed over 1 million views. By the 20-hour mark, it had crossed 48 lakh views, confirming its viral status among fans.
Touted as a visual and musical treat, Chikitu brings together the explosive energy of music director Anirudh Ravichander and the flair of T Rajender, complemented by Sandy Master’s dynamic choreography. But the real star, as always, is Rajinikanth himself — his stylish entry and signature dance moves continue to captivate audiences, even at the age of 74. Social media is flooded with praise for his enduring charisma and energy. One fan wrote, “So much energy at the age of 74, only Rajinikanth can do this,” while another commented, “His range needs to be studied.”
Adding to the frenzy is a major surprise — Aamir Khan’s cameo in Coolie. But this isn’t a blink-and-miss appearance. In the film’s climax, Aamir shares screen space with Rajinikanth in what’s being described as a high-voltage clash. According to reports, the sequence was shot in Rajasthan over 10 days and is being hailed as one of Aamir’s most impactful guest appearances in recent years. This crossover of two cinematic giants has added an extra layer of anticipation for the film.
The song’s appeal lies not just in its visuals and star power but also in its production quality. One fan tweeted, “One of the best and clean percussion sound recordings in recent times… lyrics can be clearly heard for listeners. First time, a slow folk song which is so vibing.”
Coolie is slated for release on August 14, 2025, in Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi — setting the stage for a big box office clash with War 2. But with the storm Chikitu has already kicked up, Coolie seems to be riding a powerful wave of momentum. As of now, Rajinikanth’s stardom continues to dominate the social media landscape, reaffirming his place as a cultural phenomenon with no expiry date.
