Director Lokesh Kanagaraj Calls Out 'Coolie' Leak Featuring Nagarajuna

Chennai, September 18 - After delivering one of the biggest Tamil grossers of all time in the form of Thalapathy Vijay-fronted Leo, director Lokesh Kanagaraj has teamed up with superstar Rajinikanth for his next, titled Coolie, produced by Sun Pictures. ## The shoot of Coolie has already commenced and it is easily the most anticipated Tamil movie in the making. As the excitement for the movie is building up, a video featuring veteran Telugu star Nagarjuna has been leaked while filming a crucial scene and this has taken social media by storm. ## The video, which is now all over social media, shows Nagarjuna in an and out mass avatar as netizens are comparing his look with that of Suriya's Rolex in Vikram, also directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. Meanwhile, the filmmaker has spoken out about that leaked video. ## Taking to X, the blockbuster director said that the efforts put the team over the last couple of months have gone in vain due to the leak of the important scene. The filmmaker asked people not to engage in such practices, as they spoil the overall experience. ## Two months of hard work by many people have gone in vain because of one recording. I humbly request everyone not to engage in such practices, as they spoil the overall experience. Thank you.— Lokesh Kanagaraj (@Dir_Lokesh) September 18, 2024 ## Coolie marks Lokesh's maiden collaboration with superstar Rajinikanth. It also stars Soubin Shahir, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Upendra in prominent roles along with Nagarajuna. The movie is scheduled to be released in 2025 in multiple languages. ## Stay tuned...

No Solo Release For Suriya's Pan India Movie 'Kanguva'?

Chennai, September 18 - Tamil star Suriya's much-awaited Pan India movie Kanguva has been delayed to avert a clash with superstar Rajinikanth's Vettaiyan. Directed by Siva, the film was supposed to be released on October 10 in multiple languages. ## A new release date of Kanguva is yet to be announced but reports say it is eyeing to release in November, either on Diwali or two weeks later. Being a big-budget and the biggest film for the talent involved, it is believed that the makers are trying to give it a solo release in major markets, thus keeping their options open. ## It has been learned that stakeholders are betting big on Kanguva to deliver at the Hindi box office other than Tamil and Telugu, however, as the days pass, it seems the movie won't get a free pass and there are high chances it might come up against a mighty Bollywood film. ## If Kanguva decides to release on Diwali, then there are currently hugely-anticipated, Ajay Devgn-fronted Singham Again and Kartik Aaryan's Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, scheduled to be released and will easily be taking the maximum number of screens.## Another scenario for Kanguva is the November 14/15 release, which is more likely to be its official date. However, it is another complicated date for a dub release as there is a buzz in the Bollywood industry that Singham Again is likely to be pushed back by two weeks on November 15. ## In case of a clash with any of the aforementioned two Bollywood films, Kanguva will certainly be more affected. It will be difficult for it to get the desired result at the Hindi box office unless another film completely misfires. However, the official announcement hasn't been made yet and there are chances Kanguva might get a solo release in Hindi if Singham Again decides to stick with the Diwali release. ## Stay tuned...

Director Venkat Prabhu's Weird Excuse For Box Office Failure of Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT' In Hindi and Telugu

Chennai, September 9 - One of the biggest Tamil films of the year, Thalapathy Vijay's action thriller The Greatest of All Time had a fantastic first-weekend collection in the home state, Tamil Nadu and overseas box office, however, the movie is not performing in other parts of the country. ## Other than Tamil Nadu, The GOAT has heavily underperformed in other states of India, especially in Telugu and Hindi states where it has grossed just around 23 crores of gross collection. The performance of the movie in Telugu states is shockingly poor as Thalapathy Vijay's previous few films did well there. ## While the audience outside Tamil Nadu is not loving the movie, director Venkat Prabhu has made a weird excuse for the film's failure in Telugu and Hindi. During a recent interaction, the filmmaker stated that due to the references to the IPL cricket team, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the movie, it is not working in Telugu and Hindi. ## The rivalry of CSK with Sunriseres Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which has massive fan-following nationwide, is well known, and director Venkat Prabhu feels that because he supports CSK, the audience of Telugu and Tamil are staying away from watching the movie. ## This is a funny excuse by a seasoned filmmaker as the movie, unfortunately, is not resonating with audiences. However, The GOAT is performing excellently in the home state, Tamil Nadu where it grossed approximately 106 crores in the 4-day opening weekend while the rest of the domestic gross was 55 crores. Worldwide, it scored 281 crores in 4 days. ## Stay tuned...

Chennai, September 5 - One of the biggest films of the year, Thalapathy Vijay's action thriller The Greatest of All Time was released on the big screens on September 5 amid huge anticipation. The movie received mixed to positive reception from the audience, but it didn't stop the movie from taking a huge opening at the box office. ## Thalapathy Vijay has proved in the past that his movies are critic-proof and have scored a big collection at the box office. The GOAT, as far as the opening is concerned, is proving critics' reviews as a secondary thing once again. ## According to the early estimates, The GOAT is expected to score 28-30 crores in gross collection in the home state, Tamil Nadu. The TN collection might vary depending on offline ticket sales in smaller centres which is a massive aspect of South Indian movies. ## Outside Tamil Nadu, the action thriller is looking to score in the range of 9 crores gross collection in Karnataka, and 6+ crores gross in Kerala.

Mixed To Positive Audience Report For Thalapathy Vijay's 'The GOAT'

Chennai, September 5 - Thalapathy Vijay's penultimate movie The Greatest of All Time has been released on the big screen amid massive anticipation. The movie is directed by Venkat Prabhu and produced by AGS Entertainment on a budget of around 400 crores. ## The GOAT had early morning shows in Telugu states and as per the initial audience reception, the movie is a mixed bag of everything. While the audience has been praising Thalapathy Vijay for playing the dual role of a middle-aged man and a teenage kid, the movie is lacking in other aspects. ## It has been observed through audience reception that the direction by Venkat Prabhu is uneven with few dragged scenes in the second half. The background music by Yuvan Shankar Raja is also getting thumbs down from the audience. The screenplay of the film is said to be stretched and it needed someone trimming, especially in the second half.## However, Thalapathy Vijay is once again getting high praise for carrying the film on his shoulder, especially the younger version of his dual role is said to be one of the best in his filmography. As said, the movie does offer a fan service with mixed reception from the general audience. ## Thalapathy Vijay, however, proved over the years that he is a critic-proof star as far as box office success is concerned. The GOAT has had excellent pre-sales all over and has opened to houseful boards across Tamil Nadu and many other areas. It is expected to take the opening of 100+ crores gross worldwide, including 50+ crores gross in India. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, September 4 - Thalapathy Vijay's The Greatest of All Time will not be released in the three national multiplex chains (PVR, Inox, and Cinepolis) in the dubbed Hindi version after makers failed to adhere to the theatrical guidelines. ## The national chains have adhered to a policy requiring all new Hindi movies to maintain an 8-week gap between their theatrical release and their premiere on OTT platforms.
