Superstar Rajinikanth is set to dazzle audiences with his upcoming film, Coolie, which is scheduled for release on August 14, 2025. In anticipation of the movie’s release, renowned composer Anirudh Ravichander has opened up about the intriguing phrase ‘Alela Polema’ featured in the theme beat. The question arises: Does this phrase have a genuine meaning, or is it simply a playful creation by the composer? Here’s what he had to say.
Anirudh Ravichander reveals what ‘Alela Polema’ means
Anirudh Ravichander appeared at a promotional event alongside Shruti Haasan and Nagarjuna Akkineni. During his conversation with the press, the musician said, “When I was working on the teaser (trailer)… I was just singing the lines, and I tend to go a little wild inside my studio. I’ll be like blabbering and shouting.”
“So when the line came, I was like Alela Polema…Alela Polema, Allleee! Then I sent it to Lokesh, and I was expecting him to ask what it meant. But he was like, ‘That is my favorite part of the teaser.’ That is the kind of bond we share, and it was just a random, gibberish word,” Anirudh added.
The rockstar composer continued, “Apparently, I saw something online. In Greek, it means ‘I am ready to fight’, but I didn’t plan it like that. That’s what it means in Greek, I don’t know the language, for me it was just random.”
