“Coolie”, the much-anticipated Tamil blockbuster starring Superstar Rajinikanth and directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, is generating intense excitement across film lovers nationwide. The film’s buzz has spread well beyond Tamil Nadu, igniting remarkable hype in the Telugu market and boasting impressive overseas pre-sales—with the Telugu version alone already crossing $100,000 in receipts from the USA and Canada.
The team, including director Lokesh and music composer Anirudh, has begun an aggressive promotional campaign, engaging with media and fans alike. In a development that took everyone by surprise, Coolie has received an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). The unexpected rating quickly went viral on social media, sparking widespread speculation about the reasons behind it.
While the official details are yet to emerge, observers wonder whether the rating is due to intense action sequences, violence, or perhaps another bold creative choice. Notably, this is the first film from Lokesh Kanagaraj to receive an A certificate, adding a new dimension to the director’s already celebrated filmography. With anticipation running high, this latest twist has only added fuel to the fire.
Alongside Rajinikanth, Coolie features a stellar ensemble cast such as Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Shruti Haasan. The movie is slated for a theatrical release on August 14, poised to be a major pan-Indian event. All eyes are now on this film as it prepares to make a bold splash on the big screen.
