The fight between Tollywood producers and Employees Federation regarding wages hike is intensifying.\r\nSome Tollywood Producers decided to approach the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against the Federation what they call the monopoly.\r\nT.Prasanna Kumar, General Secretary of Tollywood Producers Council said &ldquo;We have prepared all the documents to move the CCI to New Delhi, and our representatives are already there. Back in 2017, the CCI had questioned the Federation&rsquo;s monopoly and strict rules preventing non-members from working in films. We will again make the Chamber a party in this case and demand that producers be allowed to hire workers of their choice without any hassles,&rdquo;\r\nHe also took strong objection to the Federation demand of employing ten local fighters even if the makers rope in 10 fighters from Mumbai. He said &ldquo;We end up paying local fighters even if they don&rsquo;t work. Out of the 25,000 workers in the Federation, only about 50% are getting jobs. We hope they will soon accept the Chamber&rsquo;s proposals for a nine-hour shift and other proposals. The demand for extra pay for dual-language shoots should also be scrapped, since they already earn double wages if working hours are extended,&rdquo;

The Telangana government has rejected the ticket hike requests for Rajinikanth\'s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-NTR\'s War 2, both set to release on August 14, 2025. Despite the producers\' efforts to secure a price increase, the government remained unconvinced, citing concerns over audience backlash. This decision comes after widespread criticism on social media, with many questioning the need for ticket hikes, especially for dubbed films.\r\nThe distributors of Coolie and War 2 had reportedly applied for a significant ticket price hike of â‚¹75 in single screens and multiplexes in Telangana. However, the government\'s decision to reject the hike request has been welcomed by fans, who were concerned about the added financial burden. Coolie\'s pre-release business in Telugu states stands at â‚¹50 crore, while War 2 has garnered â‚¹70 crore.\r\nWith the ticket prices remaining unchanged, fans can expect to pay between â‚¹180 to â‚¹200 for Coolie in multiplexes in Chennai, while in Hyderabad, the prices range from â‚¹300 to â‚¹450 for the dubbed version. The decision not to hike ticket prices could benefit both films if word-of-mouth is positive, allowing them to recover their business amounts within the first week itself.\r\nThe box office clash between Coolie and War 2 is expected to be intense, with both films having a strong fan base. While Coolie boasts Rajinikanth\'s massive following, War 2 has generated significant buzz with its star-studded cast, including Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.

\r\nRajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj\'s highly anticipated film Coolie is breaking records with its massive advance bookings. The film\'s audio launch, held recently, was a grand affair with many exciting moments. However, the event took an unexpected turn when Rajinikanth seemingly sidestepped Vijay during his speech, sparking controversy among fans. While discussing Lokesh Kanagaraj\'s films, Rajinikanth mentioned only three movies: Maangaram, Kaithi, and Vikram, leaving out Master and Leo, both directed by Lokesh and starring Vijay.\r\nThe superstar\'s speech at the Coolie audio launch has ignited a heated debate on social media, with some viewers feeling his comments were in poor taste. Rajinikanth referred to Soubin Shahir as a \"short and bald head guy,\" Shruti Haasan as a \"glamour girl,\" and Aamir Khan as \"short.\" While many fans see this as Rajinikanth\'s usual style of teasing his co-stars before praising them, others believe he crossed a line. Critics argue that if another senior actor had spoken like this, social media would have erupted with criticism. Despite the mixed reactions, Rajinikanth\'s speech has gone viral, with fans actively sharing their opinions online.\r\nRajinikanth\'s comments, though intended to be humorous, have sparked a discussion about the evolving standards of public conduct and how audiences hold celebrities accountable for their words. The event has become a talking point, with some fans defending Rajinikanth\'s candor and others criticizing his remarks. Meanwhile, the film\'s producer, Kalanithi Maran, has praised Rajinikanth as the \"only superstar,\" emphasizing his unparalleled influence in the industry.\r\nAs Coolie prepares to hit theaters, fans are eagerly awaiting the film\'s release. With its star-studded cast, including Nagarjuna, Upendra, and Sathyaraj, Coolie is expected to be a blockbuster hit. Despite the controversy surrounding Rajinikanth\'s speech, the film\'s advance bookings suggest it will shatter box office records.\r\n

\r\nThe Indian film industry is gearing up for a massive box office clash on August 14, 2025, as Rajinikanth\'s Coolie and Hrithik Roshan-Jr NTR\'s War 2 prepare to compete. Early advance booking figures indicate that Coolie is leading pre-sales both domestically and internationally, outpacing War 2. Trade experts predict Coolie could achieve a worldwide opening day collection of Rs 80 crore, driven by its overseas performance.\r\nThe breakeven targets for both films are substantial, with Coolie needing to collect Rs 600 crore to achieve hit status and War 2 requiring Rs 700 crore. In the Telugu states, Coolie needs to collect Rs 90 crore, while War 2 needs to collect Rs 150 crore to break even. These targets are ambitious, but positive word-of-mouth could make them achievable for both films.\r\nCoolie has already made a strong start in advance bookings, grossing Rs 14.12 crore in India and selling over 6.8 lakh tickets. Internationally, the film has crossed $4 million in pre-sales, with North America contributing $1.7 million. War 2, on the other hand, has recorded Rs 2.09 crore in advance sales in India, with a strong performance in premium formats like IMAX and 4DX.\r\nIndustry trackers predict that Coolie will dominate the Tamil Nadu, Kerala, and Karnataka markets, leveraging Rajinikanth\'s unmatched pull in the South. However, War 2 is expected to have an edge in the Hindi belt, with its legacy from the 2019 blockbuster War and YRF\'s nationwide reach. The Telugu market is shaping up to be a battleground, with Jr NTR\'s lead role potentially helping War 2 score big.\r\n
