While bookings for the film are already open, it has now been reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/movies\/tamil-cinema\/coolie-first-review-rajinikanth-wins-hearts-fans-call-it-his-best-after-kabali-ws-l-9492666.html\">Lokesh Kanagaraj\u2019s directorial<\/a> has also earned Rs 250 crore already. How? Let\u2019s find out:<\/p>\n<h4>Coolie Earns Rs 250 Crore Even Before Release?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">If a report by Pinkvilla is to be believed, the Rajinikanth starrer, which has been made on a massive budget of Rs 375 crore,\u00a0has already earned close to Rs 250 crore from the sale of its international, digital, music, and satellite rights. Reportedly, the film\u2019s international rights have been sold for Rs 68 crore. This means that the Lokesh Kanagaraj directorial has scored the second biggest deal of all time for a Tamil film.<\/p>\n<h4>Coolie Rules International Market, Beats Leo<\/h4>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Another report by Sacnilk claims that Coolie has already earned Rs 30 crore from its advance bookings overseas. With this, the film is likely to achieve the biggest opening for a Tamil film in the international markets, surpassing Thalapathy Vijay\u2019s Leo. Interestingly, Leo was also directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj and had collected Rs 66 crore on its opening day from overseas territories in 2023.<\/p>\n<h4>Will Coolie Have Early Morning Shows?<\/h4>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">In Kerala and Karnataka, select theatres will kick off early screenings as soon as 6 am on August 14. However, in Tamil Nadu, fans will have to wait until 9 am for the first show due to local regulations.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">The Tamil Nadu government has prohibited early morning screenings ever since a fan tragically lost his life during the first-day-first-show of Thunivu in 2023. As a result, theatres across the state have confirmed that Coolie will not be screened before 9 am. The film has also been given an \u2018A\u2019 certificate by the Censor Board, restricting entry to viewers aged 18 and above. Several cinemas have already issued public disclaimers to ensure audiences are aware.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Apart from Rajinikanth, Coolie also stars stalwarts from the Indian film industry like Nagarjuna, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, Upendra, Soubin Shahir and Shruti Haasan in pivotal roles.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-05-at-13.17.10-2025-08-d1b003764b221e1094919969068b8f2b-scaled.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/chirag-sehgal-21023.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Chirag Sehgal<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Chirag Sehgal works as a Senior Sub-Editor in the Entertainment team at News18.com.
