Superstar Rajinikanth’s new movie Coolie is already creating ripples in the international market, much ahead of its release. In a shocking turn of events, the film’s overseas rights in all languages have been sold for a whopping ₹81 crore—both a record transaction and a trade circle shocker.
While Rajinikanth’s legendary fan base remains a strong pull, insiders say the real driving force behind this unprecedented hype is director Lokesh Kanagaraj. Interestingly, Rajini’s last outing Vettaiyan didn’t perform as expected at the box office, and the pre-release business was rather muted.
While Leo received divided reviews, Lokesh is still one of the most bankable directors in the business. His creative storytelling, thrilling action scenes, and world-building skills have charmed both crowds and distributors. Trade experts believe his combination with Rajinikanth is a formula for a bomb.
Adding to the appeal of the film is its impressive supporting cast. Coolie has big stars like Nagarjuna, Upendra, Aamir Khan, Shruti Haasan, and Pooja Hegde, making it one of the star-studded films of the year. This ensemble cast, complementing the imagination of Lokesh and the charisma of Rajinikanth, has created sky-high hopes.
With these potent pieces in action, Coolie is fast becoming a blockbuster phenomenon—not only in India, but globally as well. Everybody now breathes with bated breath to find out how this action thriller unfolds on the silver screen.
