Fans of Superstar Rajinikanth have a reason to cheer! His upcoming film Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is already creating a massive buzz. The countdown has officially begun, and excitement is in the air. The film is all set to release worldwide on August 14, and the makers have just dropped a brand-new promo to mark the start of the 100-day countdown.
A Glimpse of Rajinikanth in Action
The new promo, shared by Sun Pictures on their official X (formerly Twitter) handle, gives fans a sneak peek of Rajinikanth’s powerful role. The caption read, “Arangam Adhirattume, Whistle Parakkattume!” which translates to “Let the arena shake, let the whistles fly!” It’s clear from the video that the movie is packed with high-energy action and style, something Rajinikanth is known for.
Star-Studded Cast Adds to the Hype
Coolie doesn’t just feature Rajinikanth. It brings together a strong ensemble cast. Fans will see popular actors like Nagarjuna Akkineni and Upendra Rao in key roles. The movie also features Shruti Haasan, Soubin Shahir, and Sathyaraj. Adding to the glam, Pooja Hegde will appear in a special dance number that is sure to light up the screen.
Avoiding a Box Office Clash
At first, rumors were swirling that Coolie would clash at the box office with War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr. NTR. However, it now seems that the makers have wisely decided to avoid any such clash. By choosing a separate release date, they’re making sure fans can enjoy both big films without splitting their attention.
Rajinikanth is Also Working on Jailer 2
While fans wait for Coolie, Rajinikanth is also busy filming Jailer 2, the sequel to his 2023 blockbuster Jailer. Directed by Nelson Dilipkumar, the sequel will bring back the beloved character “Tiger” Muthuvel Pandian. It promises to continue the gripping story and intense action of the first film.
Huge OTT Deal for Coolie
Coolie is making headlines not just for its content but also for its record-breaking digital deal. According to a report by Koimoi, the film has been acquired by Amazon Prime Video for a whopping Rs 120 crore. If true, this would be one of the biggest OTT deals in Indian cinema history. For comparison, Rajinikanth’s previous hit Jailer was also bought by Prime Video for Rs 100 crore.
Conclusion: Rajinikanth Fever is Back!
Whether it’s on the big screen or on OTT platforms, Rajinikanth continues to rule hearts. With Coolie’s release just 100 days away, the excitement is building fast. With top actors, an action-packed story, and a legendary superstar leading the way, Coolie is shaping up to be a must-watch film of 2025.
