Rajinikanth’s Coolie Creates History Even Before Release – Massive Advance Bookings, Record Buzz
Superstar Rajinikanth’s next film, Coolie, is generating unprecedented hype ahead of its theatrical release on August 14, 2025. With bookings already in full swing, the film is smashing records across the board, especially in Kerala, where thousands of tickets sold out within minutes. Some theatres are even scheduling early morning shows to meet demand.
The buzz isn’t solely about the legendary actor. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his gritty, action-heavy storytelling, Coolie features a star-studded cast including Nagarjuna, Aamir Khan, Upendra, and Pooja Hegde, who stuns in a viral dance number that’s already topping charts.
Despite a trailer that stirred mixed reactions, expectations remain sky-high. In Tamil Nadu, trade circles are already forecasting record-breaking box office numbers, with some expecting the film to surpass all-time opening records.
The marketing campaign is relentless—Coolie ads are featured on metro trains, Amazon delivery packages, and street banners across major cities. Promotions are set to continue aggressively until release day.
Even though War 2 has secured most IMAX and premium screens across India, Coolie is still projected to make a massive ₹150 crore+ opening, with potential for more if reviews and audience word-of-mouth align positively.
With Rajinikanth’s unmatched fanbase, Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action vision, and a festival atmosphere brewing, Coolie is not just a film—it’s a cinematic event in the making.
