Rajinikanth's Coolie is all set to hit theaters on August 14, 2025, with a special animated title card designed to commemorate the actor's 50 years in cinema. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the film promises intense blood-filled action, earning it an A certificate from the CBFC after over three decades. The makers have made a couple of additions and deletions following the rating, including the animated title card and several music tracks for the lead actors.
The film boasts an ensemble cast, including Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, Nagarjuna, and Aamir Khan, with Rachita Ram, Reba Monica John, Junior MGR, and others in supporting roles. With its gripping storyline and high-octane action, Coolie is expected to break box office records. Advance bookings have already begun, with the film predicted to earn around ₹100 crore on its opening day worldwide.
On the technical front, Coolie features action choreography by Anbariv, cinematography by Girish Gangadharan, editing by Philomin Raj, and production design by Sathees Kumar. The film's music is composed by Anirudh Ravichander, adding to its anticipation. With its star-studded cast and technical brilliance, Coolie is poised to become one of the biggest releases of the year.
Coolie's release on August 14 will pit it against Hrithik Roshan's War 2, setting up an exciting box office battle. However, with its massive fan base and record-breaking advance bookings, Coolie seems ready to dominate the box office. The film's international rights have been sold for ₹68 crore, and it's expected to earn nearly ₹30 crore overseas on its opening day alone.
