The highly anticipated Tamil film Coolie, starring Superstar Rajinikanth in the lead role, is one of the most awaited Indian films currently. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the magnum opus has the potential to break several existing Kollywood records. The collaboration of Rajinikanth with Lokesh Kanagaraj, a brand in the Tamil film industry, is expected to be a treat for cinephiles. The film is an epic action thriller that is set to release in August and has already generated immense hype.

Coolie is gearing up for release on August 14th worldwide, and the team has already completed the shoot part, with theatrical business underway. For the overseas market, the makers are said to be quoting 75 crores, with negotiations happening with top distributors. To breakeven, Coolie must make more than $20 Million. Given Rajinikanth's previous blockbuster Jailer and Lokesh Kanagaraj's previous film Leo both collected over $20 Million in the overseas region, trade analysts hope that Coolie may even touch the $25 Million mark with hit talk.

However, Coolie faces stiff competition from War 2, starring Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, which will also release on the same day. While Coolie looks unstoppable in the hype meter, War 2 is expected to dominate the Rajinikanth starrer in the Telugu market due to NTR. In the Hindi market, Rajini's magnum opus may get cornered easily by Hrithik and YRF's actioner.

Despite the competition, Coolie is one of the most anticipated biggies of Kollywood, and there are immense expectations around it. The film's epic action thriller storyline and the combination of  Rajinikanth and Lokesh Kanagaraj along with south Indian stalwarts, Nagarjuna and Upendra is expected to make it a huge success. With the right marketing and distribution, Coolie has the potential to become a blockbuster and meet the high expectations surrounding it.
