Rajinikanth’s ‘Chikitu’ song from 'Coolie' goes viral with over 1 million views in 3 hours

The makers of Coolie unveiled the first song from the film, a peppy number titled Chikitu, on June 25. The foot-tapping number features superstar Rajinikanth along with music composer Anirudh Ravichander and veteran T Rajendar.

The song became an instant hit on the internet and has now garnered over a million views in just three hours from its release. Fans can’t stop gushing about the song as it has all the elements to be a popular chart number.

On Wednesday, Sun Pictures took to social media and shared the song, writing, "#GetChikitufied on your favourite streaming platforms!
The first single #Chikitu is streaming now in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi!" (sic)

While fans have been full of praise for Anirudh Ravichander and Rajini combination, it is T Rajendar who has stolen the spotlight.
Fans couldn’t resist but showering praise for his mannerism. One of the users wrote, “TR true entertainer always” (sic). Another user wrote “T Rajendar mass”.

For the uninitiated, the song is sung and composed by Anirudh Ravichander with the dynamic T Rajendran, with lyrics written by Arivu. The choreography, which has also won the hearts of audiences, has been done by Sandy Master.

Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is an action entertainer headlined by Rajinikanth. The film also boasts a stellar ensemble cast including Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra Rao, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj in prominent roles. Coolie is set for a clash with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2.
