Coolie’s Big Bollywood Push: Makers Plan Grand Event in Mumbai Ahead of Release
Coolie, the much-anticipated action entertainer starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is gearing up for a massive Independence Day release on August 14, 2025. The film will go head-to-head with Bollywood’s War 2, and to ensure a strong foothold in the Hindi market, the makers are leaving no stone unturned.
To capture attention in the Hindi-speaking belt, the team is planning a high-profile pre-release event in Mumbai. With an ensemble cast that includes Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj, the event is expected to be a star-studded affair designed to amplify the film’s buzz.
Adding to the excitement, Anirudh Ravichander, who received immense praise for his music in Jawan, will reportedly deliver a live performance at the Mumbai event. While the Coolie soundtrack has had a slow start, the track “Monica” is already emerging as a fan favorite and could mirror the kind of momentum it gained in Telugu circles.
The team has already conducted promotional events in Chennai and Hyderabad, but the Mumbai event is being positioned as the most critical for expanding the film’s reach across India.
In parallel, there have been distribution hurdles in North India, with multiplex chains prioritizing War 2 for their screens. However, reports suggest that Aamir Khan is personally negotiating with major chains like PVR and Inox to ensure Coolie gets a fair IMAX release. If successful, this move could level the playing field for Coolie’s pan-India box office battle.
With just days to go, all eyes are on Coolie and its ability to shine amid stiff competition.
