Coolie Movie Preview: Rajinikanth’s Diamond Jubilee Honored with Iconic Title Card as Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Explosive Union Set to Ignite the Big Screen

With just three days to go, the wait for Superstar Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s much-awaited collaboration, Coolie, is about to end. Slated for a massive worldwide release on August 14th, this magnum opus is already being hailed as one of the biggest Indian releases of the year. From its inception to its final cut, Coolie has been a journey brimming with hype, spectacle, and history in the making.Initially announced as Thalaivar 171, the official title Coolie was revealed through a thunderous announcement video, reimagining Rajinikanth’s iconic Ranga dialogue. The clever punchline — “Mudichidlaam ma” — playfully mirrored Kamal Haasan’s “Aarambikalaama” from Vikram, instantly setting the internet ablaze.Filming kicked off in July 2024, with an ensemble cast that only heightened expectations — Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Uppendra, Soubin Shahir, and Shruti Haasan. Then came the whispers of Aamir Khan joining the project, confirmed unofficially during the Jaipur schedule in December, where he filmed crucial scenes with Rajinikanth. Uppendra later made it official in April 2025.By February, buzz erupted over Pooja Hegde’s special dance number, which turned into the electrifying “Monica” track released in July — a riot of colours, infectious beats, and sizzling chemistry with Soubin Shahir. In late June, the first single “Chikitu” dropped — a kuthu party banger by Anirudh with T. Rajendar’s flamboyance and Arivu’s punchy lyrics, serving vintage Rajini dance vibes straight from the 80s. ##Shot with a colossal budget of ₹375 crore (with Rajinikanth's renumeration ₹150 crore and Lokesh ₹50 crore), Coolie made history in June as the biggest overseas buy for a Tamil film, fetching over ₹75 crore.In a surprising twist, the film earned an ‘A’ certificate — the first in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s career — promising unflinching action and emotional grit. Addressing fan theories, Lokesh remarked, “Everyone thinks Coolie is sci-fi or time travel… but the truth will surprise you.” The final trailer, just three minutes long, unleashed goosebumps — combining explosive stunts, layered emotions, and a galaxy of stars. It hinted at a Rajinikanth performance unlike anything seen before.With a runtime of 170 minutes, Coolie isn’t just a release — it’s a phenomenon waiting to explode. ##The excitement is further amplified as the film doubles as a diamond jubilee tribute, marking Rajinikanth’s 50 years in Indian cinema.Director Lokesh Kanagaraj and composer Anirudh Ravichander have crafted a special, never-before-seen title card — a cinematic homage to Thalaivar’s golden legacy. This moment is set to resonate with fans across generations, ensuring that Coolie is not only a visual spectacle but also an emotional celebration of an icon’s extraordinary journey. With tributes, action, music, and sheer star power colliding, Coolie promises to be more than just a movie — it’s history, emotion, and celebration rolled into one grand cinematic event. ##A Glance at Coolie’s Pre-Release Collections Across Key Markets ##As of roughly four days before release, Coolie's opening-day pre-sales in India have reached around ₹14 crore gross, with the Tamil version alone contributing approximately ₹13.7 crore, followed by smaller earnings from Hindi, Telugu, and Kannada versions. ##Aggregate advance bookings across India currently stand at ₹20.26 crore. ##BookMyShow reports 706,000 tickets sold across all languages—making it the fourth-highest pre-sales ever for a Tamil film. ##Coolie has already emerged as a North American box office powerhouse before its release, with confirmed advance sales touching USD 1.7 million across the U.S. and Canada. This includes USD 1.447 million from the U.S. alone, generated from over 56,000 tickets sold across 467 locations. ## Coolie has already surged ahead of War 2 in North American pre-sales, establishing a clear lead in the region. With momentum still building, the film is on track to achieve significantly higher opening numbers, positioning it as the stronger box office contender between the two well before release.

Chennai, August 6 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj is busy with the promotion of superstar Rajinikanth-fronted gangster action drama Coolie, one of the most awaited films of the year. As Lokesh navigates the excitement ahead of Coolie's release, the director is also looking forward to returning to his signature cinematic universe with the much-hyped sequel, Kaithi 2. ## During a recent interview, the filmmaker encountered a silly question when the interviewer asked him whether is regrets making Kaithi 2 after doing films with industry giants like Rajinikant, Vijay, and Kamal Haasan. Lokesh answered it sensibly while showing his huge admiration for actor Karthi, crediting him as the catalyst behind his rise as a successful director. ## "Karthi sir gave me my break. If I am here today, it's because of him. He trusted me when no one else would. Kaithi changed my life." The director reflected on how Kaithi (2019) became a turning point not just in his career but also in Tamil cinema, laying the foundation for the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU). ## He added that Karthi's commitment, humility, and belief in his vision gave him the confidence to pursue bold storytelling styles. "Karthi never treated me like a newcomer. For me, he is a big star. He gave me complete freedom on Kaithi, and that faith still motivates me," Lokesh remarked. ## Lokesh Believes Kaithi 2 Will Be A Huge Hit ## As anticipation builds around the sequel Kaithi 2, Lokesh believes it will be one of his biggest hits. "Kaithi 2 will be a huge hit. I'm working very hard to make sure it lives up to the expectations. It will be bigger in scale, emotion, and action." He also confirmed that the script is nearing completion and that filming will begin after his current project with Rajinikanth (Coolie) wraps up. ## Kaithi 2 is the 4th film in the Lokesh Cinematic Universe, after Kaithi Leo (2023), Vikram (2022), and Kaithi (2019). In one of the earlier interviews, Lokesh said that Kaithi 2 will be the peak LCU film in which characters from other films will have a crossover. It is expected to start rolling towards the end of this year and be released next year. ## Stay tuned...

Is Rajinikanth's 'Coolie' Part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU)?

Chennai, July 24 - Director Lokesh Kanagaraj helmed cinematic universe — popularly known as the Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU) — has already delivered major hits with Kaithi, Vikram, and Leo. With stars like Karthi, Kamal Haasan, and Thalapathy Vijay headlining these blockbusters, expectations for what's next in the LCU are at an all-time high. ## While Lokesh previously confirmed that he would be focusing solely on LCU projects, he surprised fans by collaborating with superstar Rajinikanth for a gangster action drama titled Coolie. At the time of announcement, many speculated that Coolie could also be part of the LCU; however, the filmmaker clarified in interviews that it would be a standalone film with no connection to his cinematic universe. ## But recent developments have reignited rumours about a potential LCU connection. According to new media reports, Kamal Haasan — who headlined LCU's Vikram (2022) - has been approached to lend his voice for Coolie. Notably, Haasan's voice was featured in the post-credit scene of Vijay's Leo, hinting at interconnected storylines within the LCU. ## Although it is not confirmed yet, if the rumours about Kamal Haasan lending his voice for Coolie are true, this could mark a significant step forward in the evolution of LCU, further solidifying it as Indian cinema's one of the most ambitious interconnected franchise, featuring powerhouse names like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Vijay, Suriya, and Karthi. ## About Coolie ## Produced by Sun Pictures, Coolie stars Rajinikanth in the lead, supported by a star-studded ensemble including Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, Upendra, Sathyaraj, and a special cameo by Aamir Khan. Music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, whose soundtrack has already become a rage among fans.## The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on August 14, and will be available in Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Malayalam, and Kannada. ## Stay tuned...

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' Theatrical Window Shortened After Poor Box Office Result; OTT Price Reduced

Chennai, June 26 - The legendary combo of actor Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam reunited after 4 decades for a gangster action drama film Thug Life. It is among the most anticipated Tamil movies of the year; however, what followed next shocked the trade. ## Released on June 5, the film met with poor reception from critics and the audience. This resulted in a shocking box office performance of the film as it finished below 100 crores gross globally, turning into one of the biggest disasters of the year. ## Before the release of the film, the makers showed immense confidence in it and even publicly announced that it would be released on an OTT platform only after 8 weeks of theatrical release, breaking out from the usual norm of a 4-week window that exists in the Tamil Film Industry. ## The 8-week theatrical window announcement secured the movie's multiplex release in the Hindi version, becoming one of the first major Tamil movies to have a multiplex release in Hindi in recent times. However, the poor performance of the film led the makers to change their plans. ## According to the report by Pinkvilla, the makers have shortened the theatrical window of the movie to just 4 weeks to avoid further losses. The negotiations were made after Netflix, which is the official streaming partner of the movie, decided to reduce the OTT price of Thug Life. ## The movie was initially valued at 130 crore for OTT release, but the poor box office performance caused damage to this. It is said that Netflix was looking to renegotiate the price at 90 crore, but both parties eventually settled down at 110 crore for the digital rights, with a reduced OTT window of 4 weeks, as per Pinkvilla. ## Meanwhile, the reduced theatrical window has resulted in a breach of contract between the producers of Thug Life with the distributor and the national multiplex chains in North India. The report further stated that the Multiplex Chains have imposed a fine of 25 lakh on the producers. ## Stay tuned...

Kamal Haasan's 'Thug Life' Gets One of The Lowest Ratings In The Opening Weekend

Chennai, June 7 - Indian cinema legends, actor Kamal Haasan and director Mani Ratnam reunited after 38 years for a gangster action drama film Thug Life, which hit the big screen on June 5. The reunion of the two was expected to script a blockbuster, but things have turned into a nightmare for the duo. ## Thug Life was a keenly awaited film, and it generated some hype with decent to good pre-sales. However, despite the big promises, everything has gone wrong for the film since its release, and it seems that the audience has outrightly rejected it. ## The word of mouth for the movie has been poor from the first show, which resulted in below than the expected opening, followed by a big drop on the second day as the total collection of the movie is around 50 crore gross after 2 days. ## Even though there is a holiday on Saturday and Sunday, the chances of a rebound for the movie are almost out of the equation. The audience reception is poor, as the current Google rating for the movie is under 3 out of 10, while IMDb ratings are below 5, which has made things worse and will continue to do so. ## The Google and IMDb ratings of Thug Life are among the lowest for the film in its opening weekend, and it is going down rapidly. There are chances the movie will likely finish under 100 crore gross collection at the worldwide box office. It might cross this cross, but the overall result has already been sealed, which is a disaster. ## The film is produced by Raaj Kamal Films International and Madras Talkies, and it also stars Silambarasan, Trisha Krishnan, Abhirami, Aishwarya Lekshmi, Ashok Selvan, Joju George, Nassar, Ali Fazal, Rohit Saraf, and Baburaj in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

'Thug Life' Won't Release In Karnataka As Kamal Haasan Refuses To Apologise Over Language Row

Bengaluru, June 3 - Kamal Haasan's action drama Thug Life release has been stalled in Karnataka after the actor refused to apologise for his language remarks, which allegedly hurt the sentiments of Kannadigas. ## During the audio launch event of his film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan stated that the Kannada language was born out of the Tamil language. The actor's remarks led to a big controversy among the people of Karnataka and the Film Chamber, who threatened to stall the release of the film in the state if he didn't apologise. ## Haasan had refused to apologise and filed a petition in the Karnataka High Court seeking protection and to allow the film's release. The High Court, however, also orally advised Haasan to issue an apology for the remarks, as it hurt the sentiments of the people of Karnataka, according to Live Law. ## The actor filed a reply in the court, on which the court orally said, "There is no apology in it. You may be Kamal Haasan or anybody, but you cannot hurt the sentiments of the masses. The division of this country is on linguistic lines. A public figure cannot make such statements. What has happened because of it is unrest, disharmony. People of Karnataka only asked for an apology. Now you come here seeking protection". ## Haasan stated in his reply that he had "no malice" towards the Kannada language and proposed to have a dialogue with the Film Chamber. Meanwhile, the film slated to hit the theatres on June 05, won't be released in the State (for now). ## Stay tuned...
