Get ready for fireworks at the box office this Independence Day! Superstar Rajinikanth is ready to turn the screens into fire with his new action thriller Coolie. The producers officially announced that the film will be released in cinemas across the world on August 14, 2025, generating huge hype among fans and cinema enthusiasts everywhere.
To amp up the excitement, the team released a bold new poster with the caption: “Sound-ah yethu! Deva Varraaru. #Coolie worldwide from August 14th.” This powerful tagline has already created waves on social media, as fans gear up for Thalaivar’s grand return.
Helmed by sensation Lokesh Kanagaraj, Coolie is being promised as a mass action entertainer with a twist. Rajinikanth is set to essay a character with shades of grey—a compelling break from his signature larger-than-life hero acts. The director’s pick of style, combined with Rajinikanth’s screen presence, assures an adrenaline-fueled big-screen experience.
The film has a galaxy of stars in Nagarjuna Akkineni, Upendra, Shruti Haasan, Sathyaraj, and Soubin Shahir in lead roles. To further intensify excitement, Aamir Khan is said to make a special appearance in the film, adding to the hype even more.
But Coolie is not the only major release that week. A day after, on August 15, 2025, War 2, which features Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR, will be in cinemas. Directed by Ayan Mukerji, this action-packed sequel is a part of the ever-growing YRF Spy Universe. The movie is Jr NTR’s Bollywood debut as a formidable villain, and features Kiara Advani in a leading role.
With two huge releases scheduled on consecutive days, the Independence Day 2025 weekend promises to be one of the biggest film face-offs in recent times. It is a rare pan-India face-off with iconic names from South and North Indian cinema.
