Udhayanidhi Stalin Praised Coolie Cast and Crew
He then wished Aamir Khan, Nagarjuna, Anirudh Ravichander, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Shruti Haasan, and the rest of the cast and crew success with the project.
The makers of Coolie have officially announced that pre-sales in North America have exceeded $2 million. According to the producers, Rajinikanth’s unrivalled global fan following, the holiday release, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s stellar track record all contributed to this unusual demand. Experts anticipate that Coolie will become one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of all time. Coolie smashed previous Tamil film records. Rajinikanth’s Kabali (2016), which grossed $1.9 million, was the highest pre-sales so far. Vijay’s Leo (2023), The GOAT (2024), and PS1 (2022) were in the second, third, and fourth, respectively, with Jailer (2023) coming in fifth.
Coolie: Cast and Other Details
The film marks Lokesh Kanagaraj’s first collaboration with Rajinikanth and boasts an ensemble cast featuring Nagarjuna, Nimma Upendra, Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Aamir Khan in pivotal roles. With massive advance sales, star power, and Lokesh Kanagaraj’s action-packed storytelling, Coolie is set for a grand opening not just in India, but globally. Interestingly, the film will compete in theatres with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2.
