Coolie: Rajinikanth’s Creative Interference Blamed for Mixed Response to Lokesh Kanagaraj Film

Superstar Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, arrived with massive hype but ended up leaving many fans disappointed on day one. While the film opened to strong numbers, the word of mouth has been mixed, with several viewers blaming the narrative for the underwhelming impact.

Interestingly, buzz from Tamil film circles suggests that Rajinikanth himself may have influenced the film’s outcome. Industry gossip claims that the superstar asked Lokesh Kanagaraj to alter the script, introduce multiple cameos, and adjust the narrative style. These changes, reportedly made at Rajinikanth’s request, are said to have restricted Lokesh’s creative vision, leading to criticism from fans who expected a tighter, more gripping story.

Though the movie managed an impressive initial box office opening, it is now facing challenges due to the mixed reception, particularly in the Telugu states, where distributors are reporting losses.

Backed by Sun Pictures, Coolie continues to draw attention, but the debate over Rajinikanth’s creative involvement has become a hot topic in Kollywood.

Bigg Boss 9 Telugu: JioCinema to Stream From August 22, House Split Between Celebrities and Commoners

The wait for Bigg Boss 9 Telugu is almost over. Ahead of the main season, a special pre-show titled Agnipariksha is being held in Hyderabad, hosted by Navdeep, Bindu Madhavi, and Abhijeet.

The makers have now confirmed that the reality show will stream exclusively on JioCinema/Hotstar from August 22, 2025. Adding to the excitement, the latest update reveals that the Bigg Boss house will be divided into two sections this season.

One section will feature only commoners, while the other will be home to celebrities. Reports suggest that the commoners’ side will include five or six fresh faces along with five contestants selected from the Agnipariksha pre-show.

This new experiment comes after a dull Bigg Boss 8 Telugu season, which struggled with low TRPs. To revive the buzz, the makers are banking on the clash between commoners and celebrities, setting the stage for what could be one of the most intense and entertaining seasons of Bigg Boss Telugu yet.

Kothapallilo Okappudu OTT Release: Aha Streams Rural Drama Backed by Rana Daggubati

The rural drama Kothapallilo Okappudu, released in theaters on July 18, 2025, is now streaming on Aha OTT. The film gained attention during its promotions as it was backed by Rana Daggubati’s Spirit Media and marked the directorial debut of Praveena Paruchuri, who also co-produced the project.

As announced earlier, Aha has launched the OTT premiere of Kothapallilo Okappudu today. However, the platform has given early access exclusively to Aha Gold subscribers, while regular users will be able to stream it starting tomorrow.

Despite notable performances from Manoj Chandra, Usha Bonela, and Ravindra Vijay, the movie could not create a big impact at the box office due to its weak execution. With its digital release on Aha, it remains to be seen whether the film receives a better response from home audiences.

On the technical side, the music was composed by Mani Sharma and Varun Unni, while Gopalakrishna Paruchuri and Praveena Paruchuri handled the production responsibilities under Spirit Media’s support.

The film features Nidhhi Agerwal as the female lead opposite Pawan Kalyan, while Bollywood star Bobby Deol plays the main antagonist. Backed by veteran producer AM Ratnam under Mega Surya Production, the movie boasts music composed by MM Keeravani.

Vishwambhara Release Update: Chiranjeevi’s Fantasy Film Likely Delayed to Summer 2026

Megastar Chiranjeevi has wrapped up shooting for Vishwambhara and is currently occupied with director Anil Ravipudi’s project. While Vishwambhara was originally expected to hit the big screens by now, the film’s teaser received a largely negative response, forcing the makers to delay its release.

Over the past few months, the team has been extensively revising the CGI to enhance the visual experience. Fans anticipated that Vishwambhara would release before Chiru’s film with Anil Ravipudi. Still, a new and rather shocking rumor claims otherwise. Reports suggest that the fantasy entertainer might not arrive until Summer 2026.

This speculation has left fans stunned, as they did not expect such a long postponement. To address the buzz, the makers are gearing up to unveil a major update tomorrow at 09:09 AM, just ahead of Chiranjeevi’s birthday on Friday. The announcement is expected to provide clarity on the release window.

Produced by UV Creations and directed by Vassishta, Vishwambhara features Trisha as the female lead, while Bollywood actor Kunal Kapoor steps in as the antagonist.
