'Coolie' stands out as one of the most significant films emerging from the South Indian cinema. Starring Rajinikanth in the lead role, the film is directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj. The release date has been confirmed, with the action drama scheduled to premiere on August 14, 2025.

Additionally, Coolie will be released in Telugu, and the pre-release business has reached unprecedented heights. Sources at OTTplay indicate that a well-known producer has acquired the theatrical rights for an impressive sum of Rs 42 crore, marking the highest price ever paid for a Rajinikanth film in the Telugu market.

Several factors contribute to the remarkable buzz surrounding this dubbed Tamil film in Telugu-speaking regions. Firstly, Rajinikanth's immense popularity in these states plays a crucial role, along with the presence of Akkineni Nagarjuna as the primary antagonist. Furthermore, Lokesh Kanagaraj is a highly regarded director with a strong fan base in the Telugu states, which also contributes to the film's elevated market value. Collectively, these elements have made Coolie a highly sought-after title in the film industry.

Sun Pictures has undertaken the production of the film on a grand scale, initially quoting an impressive Rs 50 crore. However, reports indicate that potential buyers for the Telugu rights withdrew from negotiations. Ultimately, the agreement has been finalized at Rs 42 crore.

Recently, Lokesh Kanagaraj was in Hyderabad filming several scenes with Nagarjuna at the renowned Annapurna Studios. It has been reported that Nagarjuna will portray a compelling negative character in this film, which features music composed by Anirudh.

Coolie is set to compete with Jr NTR's War 2, both of which are scheduled for release on August 14, 2025, generating significant excitement in the box office competition. Following the success of Jailer, Rajinikanth is making a strong return, and anticipation is building around director Lokesh Kanagaraj's vision for Coolie. Given the high expectations for the film, it is crucial for Coolie to debut with outstanding reviews. Keep an eye out for further updates.
