One of the most anticipated films in india is Coolie, which is starring Rajinikanth and was directed by lokesh Kanagaraj. Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and pooja hegde are among the film's strong cast members. Coolie, which is being produced by sun Pictures, will be available in Tamil, telugu, hindi, and other indian languages on august 14, 2025.
Reports state that Coolie has an enormous budget of Rs 375 crore. Rajinikanth is one of the highest-paid performers in india, with a salary of Rs 150 crore alone. The Rs 50 crore that director lokesh kanagaraj is getting is also a record for any indian filmmaker. The remaining Rs 150 crore goes towards various cast and crew expenses as well as production costs. For marketing and promotions, an extra Rs 25 crore has been set out.
Now, the buzz is that pooja hegde is paid higher than samantha for a song sequence. samantha was reportedly paid 2 Crores for 'Oo Antava' and now pooja hegde has been paid 3 Crores for an item song in 'Coolie'. The filmmakers have already made Rs 240 crore before the film's debut, despite the significant cost. The music rights were sold for Rs 20 crore, the internet rights for Rs 130 crore, and the satellite rights for Rs 90 crore. This implies that they may now break even with just Rs 135 crore in theater receipts.
The movie needs to make at least Rs 400 crore worldwide in order to pay this sum. Even while this is difficult, it is feasible given the excitement around the film and Rajinikanth's enormous fan base. The film's performance in the telugu and hindi markets, which are crucial for national success, will be the true test, though. The movie has a decent chance of being a smash if the telugu version makes about Rs 60 crore and the hindi version makes between Rs 30 and 40 crore.
