Kannada superstar Upendra is thrilled to work with superstar Rajinikanth in his next release, which is 'Coolie'. Recently, Upendra spoke about his excitement and working experience with Rajinikanth. He said that he did not think even once about working with Rajinikanth and immediately said yes.

Upendra is busy these days promoting his upcoming film '45'. Meanwhile, at a promotional event, the actor said, "When I got the opportunity to work with Rajinikanth, I did not hesitate for a moment. I did not ask for anything; Lokesh Kanagaraj himself came and narrated the story to me. Just standing next to Rajinikanth was enough for me."

The actor further expressed his respect for Rajinikanth and said, "If I am Eklavya, he is like Dronacharya to me. I respect him to that extent. If he entertained everyone, he inspired me. He is Rajini sir. I am really lucky that I have done the film Coolie with him."

The film 'Coolie' directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj has been in the news since its explosive title teaser was released earlier this year. This is Rajinikanth and Lokesh's first film, and it is being presented as a great action entertainer, which is based on a vintage masala backdrop.
