Expectations are soaring for Coolie, the upcoming tamil blockbuster starring none other than Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role. Helmed by hitmaker lokesh kanagaraj, the film is slated for a grand theatrical release on august 14, 2025, just ahead of Independence Day weekend — a prime slot that hints at the makers’ confidence in its box office potential. 

With Rajinikanth collaborating for the first time with lokesh, who is known for his gritty and stylish storytelling, fans are anticipating a power-packed narrative that blends mass appeal with sharp filmmaking. The film’s scale, star cast, and technical crew have already positioned it as one of the most awaited releases of the year.

The buzz surrounding Coolie isn’t confined to tamil Nadu alone. In the telugu states, interest has reached fever pitch, reflected in the reported acquisition of the film’s telugu theatrical rights for over ₹48 crore (excluding GST) by leading distributors Asian Suniel Narang, suresh Babu, and dil Raju.

This marks one of the highest prices ever paid for a tamil film in the telugu market, underscoring Rajinikanth’s unmatched pan-India appeal and the belief in lokesh Kanagaraj’s directorial vision. Though an official confirmation is pending, this staggering figure speaks volumes about the trade’s confidence in the film’s commercial viability.

Adding to the excitement, Coolie's first single — composed by Anirudh Ravichander — is set to release today at 6 PM. With Anirudh’s proven track record of delivering chartbusters, expectations are sky-high for a track that will set the tone for the film’s musical journey.

The ensemble cast, featuring nagarjuna in a menacing negative role, alongside shruti Haasan, Upendra, and Soubin Shahir, further elevates the anticipation. A special cameo by aamir khan adds a surprising bollywood connection to this already star-studded venture. Backed by sun Pictures and releasing in multiple indian languages, Coolie is shaping up to be a truly pan-Indian cinematic spectacle.
